How OpenAI turned its coding tools into dots, an always-on personal assistant
OpenAI has released dots, a personal AI assistant that keeps working in the background without being prompted. The assistant is available to ChatGPT subscribers on the Pro tier or higher, with plans starting at $100 a month. Once connected to a user's calendar, email, computer and other tools, it tries to help with their work and flag upcoming conflicts and deadlines. Alexander Embiricos, who leads OpenAI's enterprise product team, said the company is building more granular privacy controls. Testers have found its timing for alerts is not yet reliable, and it asks for permission often.
