OpenAI Launches Always-On Dots AI Agents to Compete with Meta's Muse
OpenAI introduced Dots, always-on AI agents powered by the GPT-6 Astra model, at its DevDay 2026 event. Designed to autonomously manage ongoing tasks across apps, Dots can connect with over 4,000 applications and operate independently with limited supervision. They aim to enhance productivity by handling complex workflows, updating projects, and learning from user feedback. The launch positions OpenAI in direct competition with Meta's Muse, as both companies advance AI agents capable of proactive, multi-step task management. OpenAI also delayed releasing a more advanced model due to safety concerns, emphasizing AI's responsible development.
