Key Points
Dots are named, customizable agents that pursue user-defined goals in the background, alone or in teams
Available Sept 29 in ChatGPT and Codex for Pro and Business Premium in eligible markets
Specialist Dots can take on specific identities and credentials; Slack, Teams and text messaging follow
Microsoft Agent 365 security controls are still in development
New $500/month Pro 500 tier adds 25x Plus usage and the Ultrafast speed tier
