Dots are OpenAI's cute lil guys

OpenAI's paywalled, compute-limited Dots agent shows the company racing to match Meta's free Muse while prioritizing caution after Muse's safety mishaps.

• Dots launches paywalled: OpenAI's new 'Dots' agent, its answer to Meta's Muse and Grok Bot, is cute customizable blobs but only available to ChatGPT Pro/Business subscribers, not free users like Muse.
• 4,000+ integrations, but shallow: OpenAI lacks in-house apps (unlike Google/Meta), so it's leaning on breadth of third-party integrations over deep native quality.
