OpenAI announces Dots agent platform, rolling out to Pro users
OpenAI unveiled Dots, a new agent platform with customizable avatars and a cloud virtual machine that can access apps (e.g., Blender, GIMP) and the user’s computer via the ChatGPT desktop app. OpenAI is initially offering Dots to its highest-tier paid accounts (including the ~$100/month Pro tier); early testing shows mixed results on consumer tasks but stronger utility for controlled, work-focused workflows like website redesigns.
