OpenAI has introduced Dots, always‑on agents powered by GPT‑6 Astra with dedicated cloud compute, now available to ChatGPT Pro, Business Premium and Enterprise users.
OpenAI announced on Tuesday that it is rolling out “Dots,” a new class of always‑on AI agents for ChatGPT users on its Pro, Business Premium and Enterprise plans. The agents run on dedicated cloud computers and are powered by the company’s latest GPT‑6 Astra model, which was unveiled earlier this month. Unlike the traditional single‑turn chatbot experience, Dots continuously crawl the web and can act autonomously to complete tasks users assign, tapping into a plugin ecosystem that reaches more than 4,000 applications.
The launch marks OpenAI’s first foray into persistent, self‑directed agents and is positioned as a direct response to Meta’s Muse platform. By keeping the agents active around the clock, OpenAI aims to shift the user experience from reactive question‑answering to proactive workflow automation, potentially reshaping how businesses and power users handle routine digital work.
Industry observers note that the move could accelerate the adoption of AI‑driven productivity tools across the Nordics, where enterprises are already experimenting with generative AI. The always‑on design also raises questions about data handling, security and the cost model for continuous compute, especially for smaller firms that may need to balance the benefits against cloud‑usage fees.
What to watch next includes how OpenAI prices the Dots service, the speed at which developers integrate their tools into the 4,000‑plus plugin network, and whether competitors such as Meta will accelerate their own agent offerings. Regulators may also scrutinise the agents’ web‑crawling behavior and the safeguards OpenAI puts in place to prevent misuse. The coming weeks should reveal whether Dots can deliver on the promise of “handling everything” without compromising privacy or inflating operational costs.
