OpenAI’s latest AI agents, known as “Dots,” unveiled at the DevDay 2026 event in San Francisco, are always-on and engineered to fulfill user tasks. These agents appear as customizable, adorable blobs capable of handling multi-step projects. Driven by OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra model, Dots remain constantly active, unlike a standard chatbot, continuously working on assigned tasks by sourcing information from the internet and adapting to user preferences over time. In a showcase, a Dot arranged dinner by reviewing a user’s calendar and proposing food delivery options, allowing the user to choose the meal and ordering time. Users can interact with Dots through ChatGPT, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, while Pro users can opt to join a waitlist for iMessage or RCS messaging capabilities. The Dots feature will initially launch for ChatGPT’s Pro subscribers at a fee of $100/month, beginning with one Dot and potentially growing to several agents in the future.
