ChatGPT $100-plan user reports OpenAI's Dots agent is slow, lazy and keeps losing permissions
UserName029 · reddit · 2026-10-09
A user on the $100/month ChatGPT plan reports a poor experience with OpenAI's Dots feature:
- Lazy searching: barely digs deep and gives up on tasks far too easily
- Flaky permissions: controlling Chrome or similar actions often fails for hours, then randomly works again
- Not proactive: despite proactivity being a key selling point, their Dots shows none
The poster asks whether they misconfigured it or others hit the same issues; no official response yet. A candid negative datapoint on the real-world reliability of OpenAI's premium agent offering.
