What Dot was

Dot combined a conversational journal with personal memory. It was designed to learn a user's interests and life context, help brainstorm and plan, remember people, places and dates, and proactively surface relevant information over time.

The product is now historical. New Computer announced its shutdown in September 2025, gave users a one-month data-export window and ended service on October 5, 2025. The official site now preserves that wind-down notice rather than offering a working app.

Past capabilities

What Dot offered

Long-term personal context

Dot remembered information from prior conversations to personalize later responses.

Conversational journaling

Users could reflect through chat and receive prompts, connections and summaries in return.

Multimodal input

The privacy policy described support for notes, messages, images, video, audio, files and links.

Connected context

With permission, Dot could use calendar, email and location information to inform recommendations.

Availability

Why this listing is historical

Dot has no current pricing because the service closed in October 2025. It previously offered limited free use and a paid subscription, but those plans are no longer available and no purchase should be attempted.

  • Dot is no longer operational and cannot be downloaded or subscribed to.
  • The data-export deadline ended with the October 2025 shutdown.
  • Its value depended on concentrating sensitive conversations, media, location and connected-account context in a cloud service.
