Dagny vs OpenAI dots.

OpenAI's dots are the real thing: an always-on agent with its own cloud computer, working toward your goals around the clock. OpenAI describes each one as an extension of the user. Dagny is an extension of the business: one teammate the whole company shares, in the channels your customers already use, with your website looked after too.

Personal agent

What OpenAI dots does well

Serious capability: its own cloud computer, more than 4,000 apps through plugins, rules you set for what it may do alone and what needs your approval, and it learns from your feedback. You can reach it in ChatGPT, Slack, or Teams, or simply call it. If you already pay for ChatGPT Pro or Business Premium, your first dot comes with the plan.

Where Dagny is different

A dot draws on your ChatGPT memory and works toward your goals, which is exactly right for one ambitious person. A business is several people, plus customers who text. Dagny keeps one memory of the company that every teammate shares, answers on iMessage, WhatsApp, and email as well as Slack, and drafts anything outbound for your yes. She also does a job no dot is built for: building, hosting, and maintaining your public website and your presence in search and AI answers. One practical note: on Pro, dots are not yet offered in the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK.

Common questions

What are OpenAI dots?
Always-on agents OpenAI launched in ChatGPT in September 2026. Each dot has its own cloud computer, draws on your ChatGPT memory, connects to your apps, and works toward the goals you give it, asking for approval wherever your rules say so. They come with ChatGPT Pro and Business Premium, with a beta for Enterprise.
How is Dagny different from a dot?
A dot is personal: OpenAI calls it an extension of the user. Dagny is one teammate for the whole business, with one shared memory, reachable on iMessage, WhatsApp, and email as well as Slack, and she builds and maintains your public website too.
Can I use a dot and Dagny together?
Easily. A dot is a strong personal agent for your own projects; Dagny runs the shared work of the business. They do not compete for the same seat.
However you compare, two things stay true. Dagny works with you in the loop: Dagny drafts, you approve, Dagny sends, and nothing reaches a customer without your yes. And behind Dagny there are people. Our team is a message away whenever you want a human.
