Send on LINE

3 Key Points

What happened
OpenAI announced dots, an always-on agent running GPT-6 Astra with its own cloud computer and browser, able to connect to over 4,000 apps and work across ChatGPT, Slack and Microsoft Teams.
Why it matters
dots can keep working on multiple projects in parallel while you watch, so routine work may shift from asking an AI to supervising one — though it needs user approval for important actions.
What to watch
The new Pro plan and agent tools hinge on uptake among paying teams; a 500-dollar plan is a big step up, so the test is whether Business and Enterprise customers adopt dots and Codex Cloud.

WHO IT HITSEnterprise and business teams already on ChatGPT Business or Enterprise, plus developers building on the Agents API, are the ones who would need to decide whether to pay for the $500 plan. Software teams reviewing code are a near-term audience for Codex Cloud and the code review feature.

Context & Analysis

DevDay 2026 shows OpenAI pushing its products from single chats toward agents that keep working on their own. The headline release, dots, is built on GPT-6 Astra and carries its own cloud computer and browser, so it can write and test code and connect to more than 4,000 apps through OpenAI's plugin ecosystem. It runs inside ChatGPT on web, mobile and desktop, and also through text messages, Slack and Microsoft Teams, carrying context across channels.

The pricing and developer announcements move in the same direction. GPT-6.1 Sol is offered at one-fifth the standard input and output token price of GPT-6 Astra and works across API, Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu. The new $500 (84,000 yen) Pro plan unlocks Astra Ultrafast, which OpenAI says runs up to 8x faster than standard Astra in ChatGPT Work and Codex, generating up to 300 tokens per second in Codex. On the developer side, Codex moves to the cloud with Codex Cloud, the Agents API gains computer operation, and Amazon Bedrock Managed Agents for OpenAI brings the same foundation into AWS.

Collaboration is the other thread: ChatGPT Space, Living Pages and a presentation editor with export to PowerPoint and Google Slides all aim at teams rather than individuals. Whether that lands is likely to depend on how comfortably businesses let an agent act on connected apps with only approval gates in the way, and on whether the jump to a $500 plan feels justified by the faster models and higher limits it unlocks.
