Persistent AI agents within ChatGPT, each running on its own isolated cloud virtual machine and able to use connected apps and services.
Meta's latest Muse update brings the AI agent to the iPad and names 11 connectors, including QuickBooks, GitHub and Meta ad accounts. For small teams, the open question is which work accounts a free consumer agent should be allowed to act on.
Reality
OpenAI's ChatGPT Windows app contains a flow for claiming permanent email handles of up to 30 characters and fixed work addresses for dots, RuntimeWire found. As coded, each employee's dot would become its own mail identity for IT and security teams to inventory and govern.
Reality
Amazon has started blocking Meta's Muse agent from browsing or buying on its store, one of several sites turning consumer AI agents away. Each site now sets its own terms for agents, so the teams who run checkout need a plan for agents as well as for people.
Reality
Citi forecasts more than $27 billion of revenue from Meta's Muse by 2030, about $23 billion of it from transactions. The estimate prices a personal agent as a commerce business competing with search, on the strength of 1.8 million daily users.
Reality
Meta's Muse has a free tier and OpenAI's Dots starts at $100 a month, though both agents keep working on their own cloud computer after the user leaves. For whoever rolls one out, the choice turns on who approves the agent's actions and where the work already happens.
Reality
OpenAI's Dots give ChatGPT persistent agents that each run on an isolated cloud computer and keep working after the user leaves the chat. Teams now have to sort which errands can run unwatched and which must stop for a person's approval.
