# Dots: Always-on agents built to handle everything

## Retrieval answer

OpenAI’s Dots product page introduces “always-on” agents powered by GPT-6 Astra.

OpenAI’s Dots product page introduces “always-on” agents powered by GPT-6 Astra. It says a dot starts with context from ChatGPT memory, uses Codex and connected tools, and can continue making progress between conversations. The page describes dots running on their own cloud computers, with user-managed app permissions, custom rules, and approval requirements for some actions. OpenAI says actions that could affect accounts or share information go through Auto-review. These are product-page claims; the page does not establish independent performance, regional availability, pricing, or usage limits.
