OpenAI launched dots on September 29, 2026. In its words, dots are "Powered by GPT‑6 Astra, they have their own cloud computer, learn from feedback over time, and can work towards your goals 24/7." Three things stand out:
OpenAI's own example fits a small business: an early tester's dot noticed he had forgotten to invoice a publication, prepared the invoice and sent it after his approval.
From OpenAI's help center (October 22, 2026):
Limits to know at launch: "Your dot cannot initiate calls to you at launch." "At launch, you cannot give your dot its own standalone email address." Texting is a limited beta for US Pro users and is not available in Business or Enterprise workspaces.
Dooza Crew is built for the daily work of a small business. You type the job in plain words. Your master agent creates the AI employees the job needs and gives each one its own computer, a real browser, a phone number and a card for purchases you approve.
Then you add your people. Staff and AI employees work in one group chat: anyone can hand out a job, see the work and approve it. Nothing is sent or paid until a person you choose approves it. Your crew sets up WhatsApp, Telegram, a web chat on your site, email and a phone number for you.
Dots have no separate price. "Your first dot is included in your Pro or Business Premium plan at no extra cost." The plan includes an allowance for deeper work, with extended limits for the first month after launch. Conversations with your dot don't count toward your ChatGPT usage limits, but tasks it starts in Codex or ChatGPT Work do.
ChatGPT Pro comes in $100, $200 and $500 a month tiers. Business Premium is $100 per user a month billed annually or $125 billed monthly.
Dooza Crew is free for 7 days, then $49 a month for your whole crew, with $20 of AI usage included. Cancel during the trial and you pay nothing. Seats are limited; when they are full you can join the waitlist.
