OpenAI Dots: Full Setup and Live Demo

added Oct 8, 2026

In this video, I set up Dots, OpenAI's new proactive agent, and test it live in the ChatGPT desktop app. I got early access, and the idea behind it is simple: you give your dot an ongoing responsibility, and it keeps working on it and comes back to you when something comes up.

Allie K. Miller got early access to OpenAI Dots and tests it live in the ChatGPT desktop app: full setup walkthrough plus a live demo of giving her dot an ongoing responsibility so it keeps working in the background and comes back to her when something comes up. First-hand live test of the always-on agent. (Channel: @AKMofficial.)
