By popular request, you can now text your dot.
Give it a task to take off your plate or something to keep an eye on, using text, photos, or even voice notes. It will text you proactively with relevant updates.
Safe, secure texting via iMessage or RCS. You’re the only one who can text your dot, and your dot can only text you. Rolling out now as a preview for Pro users in the US.
watch me use my dot to fix your dots! we know there's so much more we can do to make dots even better -- please keep sending feedback, my dot will be listening :)
We’re using dots to build better dots.
@rennsong, an engineer at OpenAI, uses her dot to gather feedback from social media and user reports, update a live tracker in ChatGPT Space, and investigate and fix bugs with Codex.

One week since we launched dots!
We’ve been working through your feedback and shipped a bunch of improvements:
- Faster cloud browsing
- Fixed extra phone notifications while you’re already using ChatGPT
- Cleaner code blocks and attachments on web
- Fewer pauses while waiting for a reply
- Faster sidebar loading, smoother animations and less loading jank
- Fixed character rendering in Safari and Firefox
- Fixed Outlook setup getting stuck
- Clearer plan guidance + a way to retry failed activity loads
- More stable safety banners on web
- Fixed clipped approval buttons and oversized Gmail previews hiding approvals
- Fixed enterprise access issues on web and when starting voice
- Better dot organization of when to use new versus existing codex threads
Up next:
- Voice reliability (being improved everyday, but we’ll shout when it’s up to par with our expectations)
- Increasing dot’s control of your Codex app: manage project folders, have full Codex thread context, rename threads, and more
- Better organization to know what your dot is working on at any given moment
- Connect your dot to multiple computers
- Better Windows support for local computer control
- what else?
Thanks for trying our product and giving us lots of feedback. Keep it coming!
“every time someone posts a bug in the dots-feedback slack channel, see if you have enough information to fix it. if you don’t, respond to their slack message asking for the information you need. if you do, create a draft PR. put all the bugs you’re looking into in a space and keep that space up to date with every action you take.”
ok another thing i love - customizing the way it updates me in the space - how it color codes and summarizes things so i know exactly what’s in progress and what’s blocked by me.

my dot keeps my space up to date with the status of all my ongoing threads. i tag my dot directly in the space when i need it to make changes. the split view shows my space next to my dot. i live here now.

i’m now doing all of my engineering work through my dot (benny) - it’s incredibly responsive, routes and delegates work across threads and cloud environments, and keeps track of all of my various tasks for me while proactively following up and pushing them forward. just now my dot told me that while looking into one issue it found another major bug in an adjacent function and asked if it should put out a draft PR. this is the way!
I've seen a lot of questions around what makes Dots different than other AI assistants?
Dots have access to better tools especially around local computer use but I think it's as simple as having Astra as the model powering Dots' thinking.
You should be able to run much more complex projects requiring coordination across more dependencies / people and over time that means Dots will be doing much more interesting things. Will share some examples here as we see them!

Excited to share what I’ve been working on at @OpenAI!
I joined OpenAI thinking I’d work on robotics, but on my second day, I got into a very public argument on Slack that led me to message @thsottiaux, @steipete, @ajambrosino and many others.
Through a series of events this argument opened the door for me to work on the ChatGPT Slack app, and then what eventually became dot.
dot is the product of a relentless team and many late nights. I hope you enjoy using it just as much as we enjoyed building it, and please share any feedback you might have!

Announcing dots. Dots work 24/7 for you, learn from your feedback, have their own computer, browser and can be connected to over 4k apps in our ecosystem.
They’re powered by Astra our best model yet. Included in your Pro plan, without drawing down on any of your usage. You can even call a dot while it’s working.
We’re getting you started with your primary dot today and soon you’ll be able to create entire teams of them.
