# OpenAI launches dots, an always-on developer agent

Powered by GPT-6 Astra, the agent runs in an isolated cloud environment to triage bugs, fix failing builds, and submit pull requests.

- Builds and tests changes using Codex before returning complete pull requests for review
- Inspectable via its own cloud computer or connects directly to local files and code
- Triages recurring bug reports and scopes failing builds across connected apps according to set priorities

## Why it matters

Developers can offload continuous bug triage, build fixes, and pull request creation to an autonomous background agent.
