Louder than it deserves. The real change is smaller.

Why it matters

Always-on that act in 4,000+ apps are a big step. So is the price ladder, and the $200 plan now gets less.

For most people

Skip: agents that act alone need trust. Wait for real-user reports.

The details

Dots run on GPT-6 Astra, each with its own cloud computer and browser.
They connect to 4,000+ apps and to Slack and Teams; you set what they may do, ask first or never do.
Pro 500 costs $500 a month, with 25 times Plus usage and Astra Ultrafast.
Per BGR, the $200 tier's allowance drops from 20x to 10x Plus usage.
Free and Plus users do not get Dots.

WatchWait for hands-on reports before giving a dot your accounts.
