OpenAI's Dev Day event featured the announcement of 'Dots,' personal AI agents designed to perform tasks for individuals. However, some critics note that Dots' functionality is similar to existing AI tools like Muse and Grokbot, and question its unique value proposition, particularly given its limited availability to paid subscribers and organizational challenges within the ChatGPT app.
“So this was what sam walked on stage this was his big announcement which is dots which is dots is very much what muse grokbot instinct are which is a specific personal ai agent that lives in the cloud that does stuff for you as an individual”
“I was already doing a lot of what Dots does with Codex voice mode on the road. And I think you do the same.”
“So I got my dot. I named it. What did I name it? I wanted to, I had a name for something. Here's another thing. We can talk about this in a second, but OpenAI stuff is so badly organized that I can't even freaking find where my dot is in my chat GPT app right now.”
