OpenAI launches always-on Dots agents to rival Meta's Muse
OpenAI launches always-on Dots agents to rival Meta's Muse
AI summary
OpenAI's new Dots are always-on agents that run on their own cloud computers, where they fix bugs or send out forgotten invoices, sometimes before anyone asks. Users can reach them through ChatGPT, Slack, and Microsoft Teams. When no one is working with them, Dots look for ways to help in the background using read-only access.

- Why it was chosen
- The Dots announcement and comparison with Meta Muse clarify the product form and permission boundaries of always-on cloud agents.
A model scores each item twice, independently, against one written standard, out of 100. An item is admitted only when the two scores add up to twice the threshold. The threshold is set per source tier.
