OpenAI just dropped Dots - autonomous AI agents running 24/7 on their own cloud computers. This isn't your typical chatbot waiting for prompts.

Powered by GPT-6 Astra, these agents:
- Work continuously across 4,000+ apps
- Learn your preferences over time
- Handle multiple projects without hand-holding
- Can inspect Slack bugs, turn designs into working code, auto-draft content

The kicker? This is OpenAI going head-to-head with Meta's Muse. Both racing to build persistent AI agents that actually DO things instead of just answering questions.

For creators: imagine a Dot monitoring interview transcripts, clipping highlights, writing show notes and social posts while you sleep. It learns from feedback and gets better.

You set the rules - what it can do solo, what needs approval, what's blocked. Currently rolling to Pro/Business Premium users. First Dot included free.

OpenAI's vision? Teams of specialized Dots handling procurement, invoices, support, contracts. We're moving from AI assistants to AI coworkers.

The agent wars are heating up. Meta vs OpenAI for who owns your digital workflow. Wild times ahead.
