At its DevDay this week, OpenAI handed ChatGPT a crew of agents it calls dots. Each one runs on its own computer, keeps a project moving while you are off doing something else, and pings you only when a decision needs you. It is live for ChatGPT Pro and Business users now, so you can hand off a multi-step job and come back to real progress. |

💥 Big News |
|
At DevDay this week, OpenAI launched dots: always-on ChatGPT agents that each run on their own cloud computer and carry out multi-step work across the apps you connect. A dot remembers where a project stands, works out the next step on its own, and checks in with you when a call needs your judgment. |
|
|
💡 Why It Matters |
Live now: rolling out to ChatGPT Pro & Business users in supported regions (not free, & not the EEA, UK or Switzerland yet) Works on its own: each dot runs multi-step jobs in the background & brings results back for review Where you work: connect your tools & message a dot like a coworker

Anthropic's new Claude Sonnet 5.5 is built to finish work, not just start it. In Anthropic's own testing it drafted a 10-slide operating review reviewers judged ready to send as is, and it turns out documents, slides, and spreadsheets that need little cleanup, about 30% faster than the last Sonnet. |
|
|
💡 Why It Matters |
Send-ready drafts: makes slides, docs & spreadsheets that need minimal editing Faster: about 30% quicker than the last Sonnet Live now: in the Claude apps & on every major cloud today

💡 Why It Matters |
Bigger jobs: handles long, multi-step work & returns much more in one pass Early access only: open to cyber-defense partners now, broader access promised with no date yet Benchmark lead: Google says it tops the leading models on a coding test (its own numbers)

✨ Weekly Spotlight |
OpenAI's dots Just Landed. Here's What It Actually Does. |
|
|
OpenAI just added a new layer to ChatGPT called dots — and it's a bigger shift than another model bump. Instead of answering one question at a time, a dot takes on an ongoing responsibility and keeps working on it between conversations, checking back in only when a decision actually needs your judgment. |
Our free guide breaks down: |
What dots actually is: what changed and why it matters What it replaces (and what it doesn't): dots sits on top of ChatGPT Work and Codex, not instead of them, so you're not relearning tools you already use. 3 ways to use it on day one: copy-paste hand-offs for keeping deals moving, keeping content ahead, and answering your audience.
|
No hype, no guesswork. Just the breakdown you need before this shows up in every meeting you're already in. |

⏭️ What's Next |
If you are on ChatGPT Pro or Business, point your first dot at a project you keep putting off and let it run in the background this week. And Google's Gemini 4 Argon is in limited early access for now, with broader access promised later, so it is one to keep on your radar rather than try today. |
