Introducing dots
OpenAI launches dots, a proactive agentic assistant for long-running complex tasks
“Dots by OpenAI are a proactive assistant that can keep working across complex projects and everyday tasks.”— OpenAI
OpenAI has announced 'dots,' a proactive AI assistant designed to autonomously continue work across complex, multi-step projects without constant user input. The product represents OpenAI's move into persistent agentic workflows, positioning itself against other long-context and agent-loop competitors. The emphasis on user control alongside autonomous operation signals OpenAI's UX approach to agentic trust.
