Analysis: OpenAI's DOTS may be the answer to ChatGPT's growing product sprawl

markk argues OpenAI's DOTS is its response to the ChatGPT app's mounting complexity: Chat, Work, Codex, multiple models and modes.
- Rather than cleaning up the lineup, OpenAI may be betting its DOTS agent becomes the primary interface to the whole platform.
- Users state what they want; the agent delegates to the right sub-agents, coordinates work and handles follow-ups.
- The complexity remains, but the agent absorbs it — users shouldn't need to understand OpenAI's entire product lineup to get things done.
