kimmonismus · x · 2026-09-30
In a thread, a developer shares observations on OpenAI's new agent product Dots:
- It has its own computer and password access, working across 4,000+ apps;
- Near-zero setup if you use ChatGPT — Dots inherits your existing ChatGPT connections;
- It's a proactive agent: "it gets to know what I like"; "you just give it a responsibility";
- Reportedly powered by Astra (unverified).
