Yes. At OpenAI’s DevDay on September 29, 2026, the company announced Dots, a new always-on personal agentic assistant powered by GPT-6 Astra. OpenAI describes Dots as agents meant to pursue user-defined goals continuously in the background with minimal oversight, available starting that day in ChatGPT for Pro and Business Premium users in eligible markets, and launchable from Codex or ChatGPT.
Users can message Dots through Slack, Teams, and other workplace platforms, with text-message support said to be coming later. OpenAI also outlined “specialist Dots” that can be given specific identities, credentials, and tools, and said it is working with Microsoft on Agent 365 security controls.
