ChatGPT no longer responds only: it can keep a job in progress

Dots embodies the new competition among assistants: taking on a lasting goal rather than starting over from a prompt each time. European availability, however, limits what you can try today.

Facts, analysis and limits

Verified facts

  • Dots is an always-on agent powered by GPT-6 Astra, with its own cloud computer, that can pursue a goal between conversations.
  • The Pro rollout excludes the EEA, Switzerland and UK at launch; Enterprise access is a beta disabled by default.
  • Usage temporarily does not count against the allocation during the first month for eligible plans; subsequent terms are not yet detailed in the notes reviewed.

What changes

The change to be monitored is the ongoing delegation: preparation, research and follow-up between two conversations.

Practical implication

Watch for European access; do not switch plans for Dots from Belgium.

Availability

Belgium: no Pro access to launch. Do not extrapolate this restriction to professional offers without checking their conditions.

Limits and uncertainty

An agent available continuously is not a guarantee of correct result. Authorizations and review remain necessary.

Builder

Dots: a persistent product, not just a better model

The product combines model, cloud machine, connected applications and action rules. For a builder, the relevant comparison relates to orchestration and permissions, not just a reasoning benchmark.

What changes

For your projects, separate read-only preparation from changes, messages and publication. Preserve that design boundary in any autonomous assistant.

Practical implication

To be monitored, not to be integrated immediately: European Pro access closed at launch.

Availability

Belgium: no Pro access to launch. Do not extrapolate this restriction to professional offers without checking their conditions.

An agent available continuously is not a guarantee of correct result. Authorizations and review remain necessary.
