# OpenAI DevDay 2026: The biggest news and announcements

## Retrieval answer

OpenAI used its September 29, 2026 DevDay event in San Francisco to announce Dots, an agent product for ChatGPT, according to The Verge’s event coverage.

OpenAI used its September 29, 2026 DevDay event in San Francisco to announce Dots, an agent product for ChatGPT, according to The Verge’s event coverage. The publication describes Dots as always-on assistants that can work across connected apps in the background.

Dots is initially limited to ChatGPT Pro, Business Premium, and Enterprise subscribers. The Verge reports that OpenAI’s Pro access begins at $100 per month, while OpenAI also introduced a new $500-per-month ChatGPT Pro tier with its highest usage limits and an Ultrafast mode for GPT-6 Astra across ChatGPT Work and Codex. Its $200-per-month tier was reopened with new limits.

OpenAI said ChatGPT has reached 1.2 billion weekly users, up from one billion in July. The Verge also reports that OpenAI intends eventually to make Dots available to its broader consumer base. The source does not establish a rollout date for that broader access, the exact tasks Dots can reliably complete, regional availability, or the detailed limits attached to each subscription tier.
