OpenAI Dots Features and Capabilities
OpenAI positions Dots as agents that take ongoing responsibility, not only answer questions.

- Voice and text interaction in ChatGPT; messaging in Slack and Teams
- Optional connection to the user's laptop

Work surfaces
Dots can participate in workflows that also involve Codex and ChatGPT Work; those nested tasks follow the usual usage rules for those products. Conversations with the Dot itself are described as not counting against standard ChatGPT message limits.
Capability depends on plugin quality, permission scope and the user's approval rules. Regional plan eligibility still applies. Always verify current behaviour inside ChatGPT for your account.
