OpenAI at DevDay launched dots: agents that work around the clock on their own cloud computer

OpenAI (@openai)

Dots run on GPT-6 Astra and are available in ChatGPT on Pro, Business Premium and Enterprise in eligible regions.

To try it, with Pro, Business Premium or Enterprise, create your first dot in desktop ChatGPT or in a browser on a computer.

Entry:

The first dot is included in a Pro or Business Premium subscription; the price of additional dots is not stated.

What to do

  • Open the ChatGPT desktop app or ChatGPT in a desktop browser

  • Create your first dot

  • Connect the apps you need

  • Set boundaries: what the dot does on its own, what it asks about, what is forbidden

  • Let the dot introduce itself

Facts

  • Author PopaRecon citing thsottiaux: the first dot is being given to users today, teams of dots will come later. [@PopaRecon, 29 September 2026]

  • OpenAI introduced dots powered by GPT-6 Astra: "always on" agents capable of handling all sorts of tasks. [@openai, 29 September 2026]

  • OpenAI: the user sets boundaries, what the dot does on its own, what it asks about and what is forbidden. The dot works on its own cloud computer, connecting your own is not required, you choose the apps yourself. [@openai, 29 September 2026]

  • Dots will appear in ChatGPT on web, mobile and desktop for Pro, Business Premium and Enterprise in eligible regions. The first dot is created in the desktop app or browser, apps are connected. [@openai, 29 September 2026]

  • Author rayanabdulcader via the launch page: the first dot is included in Pro or Business Premium, conversations with it do not use the message limit, and deep work has its own limit with an expanded first month. [@rayanabdulcader, 29 September 2026]

Waiting for:

  • How much additional dots and team scenarios will cost when they appear

  • What the deep work limits will become after the expanded first month
