Overview
What ChatGPT Dot is
A dot is designed around continuing ownership of a project rather than one isolated prompt. Users give it a goal and context, then review its work, adjust direction, manage connected apps, and decide what it can do without approval.
OpenAI is rolling dots out gradually to eligible paid plans and regions. A dot can research, create content, improve an app, and interact with connected systems, so teams should begin with narrow access, review-first controls, and non-sensitive tasks while they learn its behavior.
Use cases
Who ChatGPT Dot is best for
The strongest fit depends on the job you need the product to complete, not the size of its feature list.
Reviewable multi-step work
Projects such as presentations, content pipelines, and software improvements that can be divided into inspectable tasks.
Capabilities
