OpenAI Dots Explained: How the Always-On AI Agent Actually Works

OpenAI Dots are always-on AI agents in ChatGPT that can keep working toward your goals even when you’re away. In this video, I explain how Dots work, what makes them different from a normal ChatGPT conversation, and how they can research, work across connected apps, schedule recurring tasks, and continue making progress between conversations. We’ll also look at the bigger questions around AI agents: how much autonomy they should have, privacy and permissions, reliability, and whether always-on AI could eventually become something closer to a digital coworker.
