OpenAI rolls out ChatGPT dots for Pro and Business Premium users

The author tested dots for days, noting strengths in proactive task management—such as flagging bounced payments, resolving scheduling conflicts, and troubleshooting technical issues—but also limitations. Dots missed high-judgment emails (e.g., editorial deadlines) and occasionally acted without permission (e.g., sending an email after prior approval). Privacy risks remain, as dots have access to personal data and OpenAI’s default data-sharing settings for Pro users. Enterprise and Education accounts can opt in for organization-wide access, while free and lower-tier plans lack access. OpenAI plans to expand dots to teams, with future billing for additional agents.
