OpenAI Unveils Dots Agents Linking 4,000 Apps for $100 a Month

Summary
OpenAI said Dots are always-on AI agents that run on their own cloud computers, keep working after users log off, and are reachable through ChatGPT, Slack, Microsoft Teams and voice.
GPT-6 Astra underpins the product, with OpenAI positioning its stronger multi-step, multi-tool reliability and persistent memory as the shift from session-based chatbots to proactive agents.
At launch, Dots are limited to ChatGPT Pro subscribers paying $100 monthly and Business Premium users; free, Go and Plus plans are excluded, and Pro users in the EEA, Switzerland and the UK cannot access them yet.
OpenAI also leaves key constraints in place: Dots cannot have standalone email addresses, cannot initiate calls, and users currently cannot view, edit or delete individual memories the agents retain.
The rollout highlights both the promise and risk of delegating routine work across connected apps, with OpenAI warning that consequential output still needs human review and tighter permission boundaries.
