OpenAI launches Dots, its Muse competitor

Collected Sep 30, 2026

OpenAI announced a new product called Dots during its DevDay keynote on Tuesday. The company described Dots as always-on AI assistants that can "do nearly anything" across connected apps in the background while learning a user's preferences over time.

According to OpenAI, Dots are powered by its GPT-6 Astra model. Each Dot uses its own cloud computer to access a web browser and more than 4,000 supported apps.

Users can interact with a Dot through a text-message-like interface, which OpenAI compared to the one offered by Meta's Muse, or by voice call from ChatGPT on the web, desktop, or mobile. Dots are represented by cute, customizable avatars.

OpenAI is positioning Dots as a response to Meta's Muse AI.
