Overview
Overview
A dot is a persistent agent inside ChatGPT8.4 out of 10. Give it an ongoing responsibility and it can use its own cloud computer and connected apps to keep making progress between conversations. It can collect new information, update drafts, and bring decisions back to you. A dot can also hand a larger assignment to ChatGPT Work or Codex7.8 out of 10.
The clearest use is work you want to revisit repeatedly. A dot could pull product feedback into a weekly brief, flag a change that affects a launch, or keep a presentation current as new data arrives. Configure what it can do on its own before letting it act in shared apps.
The value is strongest if you already pay for an eligible plan. Personal access starts with ChatGPT Pro and is restricted by region. On Enterprise, the dot itself has separate pricing after the admin preview, and delegated Work and Codex tasks can still use their own allowances. Compare with Muse7.0 out of 10 for personal errands and Grok Bot7.0 out of 10 if several coworkers need to use the same agent.
Key Benefits
- Keep a project moving: Follow up on a goal between chats and flag decisions.
- Work across apps: Pull context from connected tools and prepare something you can review.
- Choose what it can do: Configure approvals and pause the agent as needed.
Use Cases
- Weekly brief: Review upcoming meetings and flag changes that need attention.
- Living presentation: Refresh a deck when source notes or project data change.
- Product follow-through: Turn new feedback into a research task or hand a code change to Codex.
