Matt Wolfe · youtube · 2026-10-24
Matt Wolfe demonstrates ChatGPT's new always-on AI agents, "Dots," which work proactively in the background on ongoing tasks even when you're not using ChatGPT. Rolling out to eligible users starting with Pro and Business plans.
Three use cases shown:
- Track purchases and catch price drops to get money back
- Monitor travel delays, find alternative routes, and prepare backup plans
- Track promises, deadlines, and follow-ups across email and calendar
No repeated prompting needed—your dot keeps working and brings results back for approval.
