OpenAI introduced Dots on September 29 as always-on agents with their own cloud computers. The launch describes ongoing work across connected apps, with conversations available through ChatGPT and workplace messaging. OpenAI says the first dot is included with Pro or Business Premium, while deeper work has an allowance rather than an unlimited-compute promise.
The current getting-started guide says Pro access excludes the European Economic Area, Switzerland and the UK. Business Premium is available across supported ChatGPT regions, while Enterprise beta access requires an administrator to enable it. Rollout is gradual. The launch instructions direct initial setup to desktop; people should check the live guide and their account for device-specific availability.
Editorial take: Eligibility matters more than launch-day excitement for anyone planning to depend on an agent this week. Confirm access in the intended workspace before changing a workflow, then start with one bounded assignment whose output is easy to review. An announced capability and a feature enabled on your account are different checkpoints.
