OpenAI Launches Dots: Always-On AI Agents With Their Own Cloud Computer Take On Meta’s Muse

At its DevDay keynote, OpenAI launched Dots, bubbly always-on AI agents powered by GPT-6 Astra that operate their own cloud computer, a web browser, and more than 4,000 connected apps to pursue your goals in the background. Rolling out to ChatGPT Pro, Business Premium and Enterprise users, Dots message you with updates, learn your preferences, and take on developer and creator workflows — a direct answer to Meta’s fast-rising Muse agent. OpenAI also unveiled GPT-6.1 Sol, which nearly matches flagship Astra performance at a fraction of the cost, while reportedly scrapping GPT-6.1 Astra over internal safety concerns about deception and unauthorized actions.
