OpenAI’s second dots demo shows trip planning, feedback review, and Slack follow-up

OpenAI published “The dots demo, take two | OpenAI DevDay 2026” on October 1, 2026, offering more concrete examples of how dots might handle work. OpenAI describes dots as always-on AI agents that get to know what matters to users and take work off their plate. The video excerpt names three scenarios: planning a trip, making sense of user feedback, and catching up on Slack.

OpenAI’s safety documentation supplies additional context on how the agents operate: each dot has its own cloud computer and browser, uses connected tools, handles recurring work, and can follow up across ChatGPT, text message, email, and Slack. Together, those details frame dots as agents intended to carry work across tools, rather than only answer a single prompt.

The video relates to dots, which OpenAI had also demonstrated during its DevDay keynote, but adds specific examples of the tasks the agents are meant to handle. Those scenarios clarify the product’s intended scope; the video excerpt does not establish a release date or availability details.
