OpenAI launched ChatGPT Dots—persistent AI agents powered by GPT-6 Astra with dedicated cloud resources and app integrations—on September 29 at DevDay 2026, restricting initial access to Pro tiers starting at $100 monthly, Business Premium, and Enterprise beta while explicitly excluding the free, Go, and Plus plans. No subsequent updates through mid-October have extended eligibility to free users despite gradual mobile rollout and other free-tier enhancements like GPT-6 Luna. Resource demands for always-on agents and usage allowances make broad free availability unlikely without major capacity or pricing shifts, though OpenAI has signaled future expansion. Traders should watch for DevDay follow-ups, earnings commentary, or competitor agent launches that could accelerate or delay inclusion.
