OpenAI introduced Dots—always-on autonomous agents powered by GPT-6 Astra with dedicated cloud resources and plugin support—at its September 29 DevDay event, making them available only on Pro plans starting at $100 per month, Business Premium, and Enterprise tiers. Free, Go, and Plus plans remain excluded, consistent with OpenAI’s pattern of reserving advanced agentic features for higher-paying users. The company stated an intent to expand access “soon” without timelines or confirmation for the free tier. Recent October rollouts of GPT-6 Luna and Intelligent UI to free accounts did not include Dots. Key upcoming signals include any post-October usage policy updates or new announcements that could shift eligibility.
