OpenAI’s Head of ChatGPT: We’re entering a new era of AI (again) | Tibo Sottiaux

OpenAI is betting that a single learning agent (Dots) replaces manually configured workflows as most internet actions shift to agents.

  • Dots launches as AI assistant: OpenAI's new personal agent Dots works 24/7 across devices with no model picker, learns preferences, and will expand from one dot to multiple specialized dots per user.
  • Agents to dominate internet traffic: Sottiaux expects agents, not people, to take most actions online soon, forcing products to build for agent-scale (e.g., Notion's MCP traffic surge).
