OpenAI has launched Dots, a new AI agent designed to handle a wide range of tasks. Users can create persistent agents that communicate via text, handle tasks using cloud computers, and integrate with numerous apps. Dots can also communicate via voice or platforms like Microsoft Teams and Slack, maintaining context across services.
“Dots. OpenAI's answer to Muse, Grokbot, and the wave of personal agents that are taking over the AI space.”
“Sam Altman presented Dots as quote, remarkably capable, always on agents built to handle really anything you can think of.”
“Think a bit less personal assistant, he writes, and a bit more code orchestrator and Slack collaborator.”
