OpenAI Launches 'Dots' to Compete with Meta's Muse

OpenAI has announced the launch of 'Dots,' its new AI assistants designed to compete with Meta's 'Muse.' Unveiled during its DevDay keynote, Dots will serve as always-on AI assistants capable of "doing nearly anything" across connected apps in the background, while learning user preferences over time. Dots are powered by OpenAI's capable GPT-6 Astra model and utilize their own cloud computer to access a web browser and more than 4,000 supported apps. Users can interact with a Dot through a text-message-like interface, similar to the one offered by Muse. Additionally, voice calls can be made with a Dot from ChatGPT on the web, desktop, or mobile. Like Muse, OpenAI’s Dots are represented by cute, customizable avatars, adding a personal touch to the user experience. This launch marks a significant step for OpenAI in the realm of integrated intelligent assistants, intensifying competition in the rapidly evolving AI market.
