OpenAI has unveiled a new always-on AI assistant called Dots, along with a new premium ChatGPT subscription plan priced at $500 per month, according to Anadolu Agency.
The Dots agent is designed to work continuously across a user's connected applications, according to the report, extending the assistant's functionality beyond single, isolated interactions into ongoing tasks spanning multiple apps.
The new $500 monthly plan is positioned as a premium tier, offering subscribers higher usage limits and faster processing compared to OpenAI's existing ChatGPT subscription options.
The launch reflects OpenAI's continued push to expand its product lineup beyond the standard ChatGPT interface, targeting business and power users willing to pay a significant premium for expanded capability and always-on functionality.
Specific details on which third-party applications the Dots agent can connect to, as well as the exact usage limits included in the new premium plan, were not fully outlined in the available reporting.
The move comes amid intensifying competition among major AI companies to offer more capable, integrated, and monetizable AI assistant products.
