OpenAI has introduced Dots, a new AI agent system designed to perform tasks proactively rather than simply responding to individual prompts.
The company unveiled the technology during its DevDay 2026 event in San Francisco on September 29. Dots are designed to work across applications and can pursue user-defined goals using a cloud computer.
The launch places OpenAI in growing competition with other companies developing autonomous AI assistants. The company has also announced additional developer and enterprise tools as it expands its AI ecosystem.
