OpenAI has introduced Dots, a new AI agent designed to work on behalf of users by operating software and completing complex tasks. Unlike a traditional chatbot, Dots has its own virtual computer and can use applications such as Blender and GIMP. Users can interact with Dots through text or voice, watch how it performs tasks, and even allow it to work on their own computer through the ChatGPT desktop app.

The AI agent is currently available to top-tier OpenAI account users, with a focus on software-based work rather than everyday personal tasks.
