I Tested OpenAI Dots, the AI That Never Sleeps

OpenAI's new Dots are always-on AI agents: each one runs on GPT-6 Astra, gets its own cloud computer and browser, and works across 4,000+ apps. I got one and named it Jarvis. It couldn't tell me what model it runs on, found today's top AI news in under a minute, and built a working habit-tracker app in about 10 minutes. The catch: 20 MB uploads in chat, no PC access on my Pro plan yet, and a lot of stalling. Tests run on my own Dot on Sept 30, 2026.

First-hand day-2 test (Sep 30, 2026): HeyBotcha named his Dot 'Jarvis'. Asked for today's top AI news — delivered in under a minute — then had it build a working habit-tracker app, completed in about 10 minutes. He also notes real friction: the Dot stalled a lot and he couldn't get PC access on his Pro plan yet.
