**[OpenAI Launches 24/7 Autonomous Agent Dots to Challenge Meta Muse]** According to a report by Jinse Finance, on September 30, during the keynote speech at Developer Day 2026, OpenAI unveiled its AI agent product, Dots. Positioned as a 24/7 operational AI assistant, Dots can connect to applications in the background and execute tasks. OpenAI stated that Dots can "accomplish almost anything" and will learn user preferences over time. Powered by the GPT-6Astra model, Dots features an independent cloud computing environment, with access to web browsers and over 4,000 supported applications. Users can interact with Dots through a text-message-like interface or via voice interactions on the ChatGPT web, desktop, and mobile platforms. OpenAI also noted that Dots can integrate with Microsoft Teams and Slack, maintaining context across different applications and devices. For example, developers can use Dots to develop and test application updates based on user feedback, while content creators can have Dots analyze interview transcripts, locate video clips, generate show summaries, and create social media content. Currently, users are limited to creating one Dot, but OpenAI plans to support the deployment of multiple agents in the future. OpenAI emphasized that Dots operate under autonomous action rules, allowing users to set restrictions that require authorization before performing specific actions. Additionally, the "auto-review" feature ensures tasks comply with safety requirements. This release is seen as OpenAI's response to Meta's recent launch of the MuseAI assistant. OpenAI has made Dots available to ChatGPT Pro and Business Premium users and is testing the functionality for enterprise users to create specialized "expert" Dots. The company stated that users will eventually be able to add more Dots and enhance each agent's operational speed and task-handling capacity.
