What happened

OpenAI announced Dots during its DevDay keynote on Tuesday. The company describes Dots as always-on AI assistants that can work across connected apps and carry out a wide range of tasks in the background. OpenAI says the assistants will learn a user’s preferences over time. Dots are powered by the company’s GPT-6 Astra model and are being presented as a competitor to Meta’s Muse AI. The timing and details of public availability have not been established.

Why it matters

If Dots work as described, they could move AI assistants beyond chat by allowing them to handle tasks across several apps without constant instructions from users.

What happens next

More information is expected about when Dots will be available, which apps they can connect to and what tasks they can perform. Their ability to work reliably in the background remains to be demonstrated.
