OpenAI releases Dots agents for ChatGPT; Wired review finds rough behavior
OpenAI has rolled out Dots, an "always-on" agent feature inside ChatGPT that can run recurring tasks, proactively message users, and be connected to personal accounts (Wired notes the feature is currently behind a $100/month subscription). A Wired reporter testing Dots found useful task automation but also missteps — such as misremembering a name, mishearing input, and an awkward mirrored emotional reply — highlighting early reliability and privacy concerns.
