OpenAI just launched Dots always-on AI agents that keep working even after you close the tab.
Unlike regular ChatGPT chats that stop when you stop typing, each OpenAI Dots AI Agent gets its own cloud computer and browser. It remembers context, connects to 4,000+ apps through plugins, and can run multiple projects in the background.
In OpenAIโs demo, a Dot:
- Planned a last-minute trip (flights + hotels)
- Turned messy user feedback into a structured workflow
- Started clearing a go-to-market inbox
You stay in control with Custom Rules, Auto-review checks, and an Activity View. Sensitive actions (like payments or deletions) always require your approval.
