Dots

OpenAI unveiled Dots at DevDay 2026, a personal agent powered by GPT-6 Astra, available for now only on its $20/month Pro plan and above. Meta's rival Muse agent is free for anyone with a Meta account. OpenAI is positioning Dots as a long-horizon, knowledge-work tool with stronger privacy controls.

OpenAI debuted an AI agent platform called Dots at DevDay 2026, while Meta is preparing a pendant-like device called Muse Charm tied to its Muse agent. Both companies appear to be using cutesy software agents to prime consumers for dedicated AI hardware.

OpenAI introduced Dots, an 'always-on' personal agent, at its DevDay conference on September 30, 2026, following Meta's Muse launch three weeks earlier. Dots is bundled with OpenAI's $100-per-month Pro plan, raising questions about consumer willingness to pay for agentic AI tools.

OpenAI announced a suite of Dev Day features—including in-chat app discovery, 'Sign in with ChatGPT,' autonomous Dots agents, and a new enterprise app marketplace—aimed at making ChatGPT a distribution channel that rivals Apple and Google's app stores. The company says ChatGPT now has 1.2 billion weekly users and connects to over 4,000 apps.
