OpenAI's new Dot is a cloud-based agent built to execute complex, multi-step software tasks. Think of it as a digital coworker for professional workflows, not a chat assistant.

Here's what changed:

- Dot is available exclusively to OpenAI Pro subscribers on the $100-per-month tier.
- You talk to it in a conversational window and watch its progress in a separate pane tied to a persistent virtual machine.
- It can drive desktop applications directly, including Blender and GIMP.
- A dedicated desktop app gives it access to your local system.
- You can guide it by voice call while a task runs.

One catch: consumer websites cause friction. Bot detection, security checks and payment gateways lack native integration, so routine personal tasks may need you to step into the browser manually.

Try it: subscribe to OpenAI Pro at the $100-per-month tier, and install Dot's desktop app for local-system access.
