OpenAI launched ChatGPT Dots—persistent GPT-6 Astra agents with dedicated cloud computers and app integrations—at DevDay on September 29, 2026. Access is restricted to Pro tiers starting at $100/month, Business Premium, and select Enterprise workspaces, with rollout limited to eligible non-EEA/UK markets for individuals. Free, Go, and Plus plans are explicitly excluded at launch, consistent with OpenAI’s tiered strategy that reserves advanced agentic features for higher-paying users while keeping unlimited basic text chats on the free tier. No public timeline or roadmap details have emerged for expanding Dots downward, though the company noted plans to broaden availability later. Key near-term catalysts include post-launch usage policy updates after the initial free-trial month and any DevDay follow-up announcements on feature expansions.
