# Introducing dots

The GPT-6 Astra-powered agents run on dedicated cloud computers, connect with over 4,000 apps, and are rolling out to Pro, Business Premium, and Enterprise subscribers.

- Each dot operates its own cloud computer and browser, with optional permission to access local laptops.
- Users can message or voice-call dots through ChatGPT, Slack, and Microsoft Teams.
- One dot is included at no extra cost for Pro and Business Premium accounts, with deep work allowances.
- Proactive background research uses read-only tools to prevent unintended edits or actions.
- OpenAI is piloting organizational specialist dots with dedicated credentials and Microsoft Agent 365 support.

## Why it matters

Subscribers get persistent AI agents capable of executing background tasks and managing workflows across connected apps independently.
