About dots

Key Strengths

  • Always-on agents powered by GPT-6 Astra, each with its own cloud computer and browser, that can run several projects in the background
  • Connects to 4,000+ apps via plugins, and you can message or call your dot in ChatGPT, Slack or Teams
  • Custom Rules and auto-review decide which actions need your approval; background 'proactive research' uses read-only tools

Limitations to Consider

  • Only on Pro and Business Premium (Enterprise as an admin-enabled beta) in eligible markets
  • Giving an agent broad app and account access is a real trust and security trade-off, a concern raised often in the HN discussion
  • Tasks it starts in Codex or ChatGPT Work count toward usage limits, and setup has to start on desktop
