OpenAI's always-on AI agent product, in which each agent runs on its own cloud computer and is reachable through ChatGPT and workplace chat apps.
No evidence-backed relationships are recorded.
OpenAI's new Sign in with ChatGPT lets people carry their identity and existing AI allowance into third-party apps, starting with 16 launch partners. For product teams, new users arrive signed in with AI budget to spend, and OpenAI holds both.
Reality
OpenAI says GPT-6.1 Sol has Astra-level intelligence at a fifth of the price, charging $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output. That saving reaches the API workloads teams build themselves, while the Dots agents launched with it run on Astra inside seat plans that got dearer.
Reality
OpenAI launched dots, always-on ChatGPT agents that each get a cloud computer and plugins for more than 4,000 apps. For the teams rolling them out, the choices that matter are which apps a dot may read and which actions it may take without asking.

OpenAI says ChatGPT will suggest third-party apps mid-conversation to its 1.2 billion weekly users, who can connect and use them without leaving the chat. Teams that rely on app stores for discovery now face a second storefront where the assistant makes the pick.
Reality
OpenAI is rolling out Dots, persistent GPT-6 Astra agents reachable from ChatGPT, Slack and Microsoft Teams, to Pro and Business Premium users. Before connecting one, a team has to settle what it may read unattended and which of its actions need approval.
Reality
OpenAI's Dots agents run nonstop on their own cloud computers, with only read-only tools for background work across more than 4,000 connected apps. Acting on what they find goes through rules each user sets, so permission design is the first job for any company that deploys one.

OpenAI cut usage on its $200 ChatGPT Pro plan at DevDay and added a $500 tier, while giving Pro and Business Premium users one free 'dots' agent each. Seat capacity is what operators can budget today, since extra dots have no price yet.
Reality
OpenAI's new Dots give ChatGPT subscribers an always-on agent that works through more than 4,000 connected apps. Whoever runs those accounts now sets the rules for which actions a Dot takes on its own and which have to wait for a person to say yes.
