ChatGPT introduced 'Dots,' new personal AI assistants that can continuously work on tasks for you in the background.

OpenAI announced a new feature called Dots, which are described as 'always-on' AI agents.

Unlike a normal chatbot that waits for you to ask a question, a Dot can be given a task and will work on it proactively, like searching the web or organizing information for you over time.
