OpenAI's Dots are always-on AI agents for work We've already seen AI assistants for personal use and shopping, but ChatGPT's Dots are geared toward collaborating at the office. Meta's Muse agent was born to shop, while Gemini's Spark can help you book airline tickets or plan your weekly meals. But while Muse and Spark act like personal assistants, OpenAI's new AI agents are designed to be, well, another "you" in the office. Dots, which OpenAI boss Sam Altman just unveiled at the company's annual developers conference, are always-on AI assistants that -- as with Muse -- you can name, assign cute little avatars to, and chat with in the ChatGPT interface, via text, or even on the phone.
