# Dots (OpenAI)

Dots are always-on personal AI agents from OpenAI, unveiled at DevDay on 29 September 2026, built into ChatGPT and powered by GPT-6 Astra.

**Dots** are personal AI agents developed by [OpenAI](https://www.wikiprompt.org/wiki/openai), unveiled during the DevDay 2026 keynote in San Francisco on 29 September 2026. Built into [ChatGPT](https://www.wikiprompt.org/wiki/chatgpt) and powered by the **GPT-6 Astra** model, Dots are part of the 2026 wave of **personal AI agents** that also included Meta's [Muse](https://www.wikiprompt.org/wiki/muse-meta), xAI's [Grok Bot](https://www.wikiprompt.org/wiki/grok-bot) and the startup [Instinct](https://www.wikiprompt.org/wiki/instinct-ai).

## Concept

Unlike a chatbot that answers in a single exchange, Dots are always on, each running on its own cloud computer, and pursue user-defined goals continuously in the background with minimal oversight. A user can reach a dot from ChatGPT, text messages, Slack, Teams or a phone call, and OpenAI said users would eventually control several dots at once.

## Capabilities

Dots can connect to more than 4,000 applications, including workplace tools such as Slack and Teams, to carry out tasks. In launch demos, a dot named Alfred ended a phone call by reporting that a user's website had gone live with the design already approved, and a dot named Felipe edited a company dashboard by voice and proactively flagged a scheduling clash between a finance meeting and a family event.

## Availability

The first dot is included at no extra cost in OpenAI's Pro and Business Premium plans in eligible markets, with the Pro plan priced at $100 per month.
