US-based OpenAI announced Dots, a new feature that automatically carries out tasks. It learns users’ preferences and acts proactively before being asked, and is scheduled to roll out progressively across regions including Japan.
On the 29th, US-based OpenAI announced Dots, a new feature that autonomously carries out tasks on users’ behalf. The feature was described as an overhaul of its existing agent functionality, with learning capabilities that enable tasks to be performed in advance.
By integrating with email and workplace messaging apps, Dots can check whether meeting materials are missing any information and prompt the relevant person, or collect necessary data and prepare drafts of documents. It is said to continue operating online even when the screen is closed.
OpenAI says Dots can continue to understand the flow of instructions and provide guidance until tasks are completed, even when coordinating across multiple apps. Reports say its automation and continuity have been enhanced compared with the existing agent functionality.
The rollout is expected to begin progressively across a wide range of countries and regions, including Japan. Details of the specific launch timing are expected in future announcements.
