Reddit asks: is ChatGPT Dots just OpenClaw in a nicer suit?

A Reddit thread questions whether OpenAI's newly launched ChatGPT Dots is essentially OpenClaw with an OpenAI makeover. The overlap: both are agents running on your computer, with tool access, taking actions rather than just chatting. The poster isn't claiming they're identical but says the déjà vu is strong, asking whether anything is fundamentally different under the hood — or if Dots is just OpenClaw "with a much bigger budget and a much nicer suit".
