OpenAI launches Dots, its Muse competitor

OpenAI 发布 Dots，对标 Meta 的 Muse

OpenAI is responding to Meta’s buzzy Muse AI with agentic helpers of its own: Dots. During its DevDay keynote on Tuesday, OpenAI announced that Dots will serve as always-on AI assistants that can “do nearly anything” across connected apps in the background while learning your preferences over time. OpenAI 正在推出名为“Dots”的智能代理助手，以回应 Meta 备受关注的 Muse AI。在周二的开发者大会（DevDay）主题演讲中，OpenAI 宣布 Dots 将作为全天候运行的 AI 助手，能够在后台跨连接应用“完成几乎任何事情”，并随着时间推移学习用户的偏好。

The company’s capable GPT-6 Astra model powers Dots, which use their own cloud computer to access a web browser and more than 4,000 supported apps. You can interact with a Dot through a text-message-like interface that’s similar to the one offered by Muse, as well as hop on a voice call with it from ChatGPT on the web, desktop, or mobile. Dots can also connect to Microsoft Teams and Slack, where they will carry over the context from your sessions on other apps and devices. It will soon be able to talk to you over text message as well. Dots 由 OpenAI 强大的 GPT-6 Astra 模型驱动，它们使用专属的云端计算机来访问网页浏览器及超过 4,000 款支持的应用。你可以通过类似短信的界面与 Dot 交互（类似于 Muse 的交互方式），也可以通过网页版、桌面版或移动端的 ChatGPT 与其进行语音通话。Dots 还可以连接到 Microsoft Teams 和 Slack，同步你在其他应用和设备上的会话上下文。不久之后，它还将支持通过短信与你沟通。

For now, you can only create one Dot, though OpenAI plans to allow users to deploy multiple agents at once. Once you give your Dot a task, it will message you with updates and questions while it works. As an example, OpenAI says a developer working on an app could ask their Dot to use customer feedback to build and test updates, while presenting them with a video showing its changes. Meanwhile, a content creator could have their Dot review an interview transcript, find moments to clip, create show notes, and write social posts. 目前，用户只能创建一个 Dot，但 OpenAI 计划未来允许用户同时部署多个智能代理。一旦你给 Dot 指派任务，它会在工作过程中通过消息向你发送进度更新或提出问题。例如，OpenAI 表示，开发人员可以让 Dot 根据客户反馈来构建和测试应用更新，并向开发者展示展示变更过程的视频。与此同时，内容创作者可以让 Dot 审阅采访记录、寻找剪辑片段、撰写节目笔记并编写社交媒体文案。

You can follow along with your Dot’s progress by accessing its cloud computer. Dots also learn while they work, allowing them to personalize their output and come up with other tasks to complete “before you even think to ask,” according to OpenAI. You and your colleagues can also work with your Dot in ChatGPT Space, a new collaborative workspace in the app. 你可以通过访问其云端计算机来实时跟踪 Dot 的工作进度。据 OpenAI 称，Dots 在工作时也会不断学习，从而实现个性化输出，甚至能在你“想到要问之前”就主动完成其他任务。你和同事还可以在应用内全新的协作工作区“ChatGPT Space”中与 Dot 共同工作。

The launch of Dots comes just weeks after Meta rolled out Muse, a customizable AI assistant capable of browsing the web, making purchases, generating documents, tracking goals, and more. Even as it soars in popularity, concerns are growing over its safety, with one user saying it handed out their address to a buyer on Facebook Marketplace without their knowledge. Dots 的发布距离 Meta 推出 Muse 仅过去几周。Muse 是一款可定制的 AI 助手，具备浏览网页、购物、生成文档、追踪目标等功能。尽管 Muse 人气飙升，但人们对其安全性的担忧也在增加，曾有用户反映 Muse 在其不知情的情况下，将他们的地址泄露给了 Facebook Marketplace 上的买家。

OpenAI says Dots come with “built-in rules for when to act independently,” but you can set custom ones that block certain actions or dictate when it should ask for permission. Dots come with an “auto-review” feature as well, which OpenAI says they’ll use to verify whether an action complies with custom rules and safety requirements. This also allows Dots to determine which tasks to hand off to users, like changing a password. OpenAI 表示，Dots 内置了“何时独立行动的规则”，但用户也可以设置自定义规则来阻止特定操作，或规定在何种情况下必须征求许可。Dots 还配备了“自动审查”功能，OpenAI 称该功能用于验证操作是否符合自定义规则和安全要求。这也使得 Dots 能够判断哪些任务需要交由用户处理，例如修改密码。

Starting today, OpenAI is rolling out Dots to ChatGPT Pro, Business Premium, and Enterprise users. OpenAI is also testing a feature that lets companies create “specialist” Dots to handle specific roles inside organizations. OpenAI notes that conversations with your Dot won’t count toward ChatGPT usage limits. “In the future, you’ll be able to add more dots, and scale the output of each dot by either increasing its speed or the total amount of work it can take on per month,” OpenAI says. 从今天开始，OpenAI 将向 ChatGPT Pro、Business Premium 和企业版用户推出 Dots。OpenAI 还在测试一项功能，允许公司创建“专家型”Dots 来处理组织内部的特定角色。OpenAI 指出，与 Dot 的对话不会计入 ChatGPT 的使用限额。OpenAI 表示：“未来，你将能够添加更多的 Dots，并通过提高其运行速度或每月可承担的工作总量来扩展每个 Dot 的产出。”
