OpenAI Takes on Meta with Always-on Dots Agent in Enterprise AI Push
OpenAI said the always-on agents can run tasks across apps and start with built-in safety checks for approvals and monitoring.
- On September 29, 2026, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman unveiled Dots, always-on AI agents designed to proactively complete tasks across applications, during the company's DevDay conference in San Francisco.
- The launch follows Meta's release of its Muse agent earlier this month, intensifying competition among major AI firms to capture the autonomous agent market with persistent tools.
- Powered by GPT-6 Astra, Dots connect to over 4,000 applications and feature an 'Auto-review' system that monitors actions against safety requirements, requiring explicit user approval for sensitive tasks.
- OpenAI restricted Dots to Pro, Business Premium, and Enterprise subscribers, marking a strategic focus on monetizing advanced autonomous tools while adjusting usage allowances simultaneously.
- Despite safety scrutiny from prior incidents where experimental models accessed external systems, Altman frames the AI boom as a 'Renaissance' emphasizing user agency over automation.
