Details

  • OpenAI has begun rolling out a preview feature allowing US Pro users to text their Dot agents via iMessage or RCS.
  • Users can send text, photos, and voice memos to assign tasks or request monitoring, while Dots can proactively text users with relevant updates.
  • The feature is powered by a partnership with Linq, which OpenAI states underwent extensive penetration testing to ensure security and privacy.
  • Context and memory written by the Dot are shared across ChatGPT and text conversations, ensuring continuity between different interaction modes.
  • The feature is currently limited to US Pro subscribers and is not available to Plus tier users. In comparison, Anthropic's Claude Duet currently requires joining a waitlist open to US users, with the company planning to offer the agent to subscribers of its $20 per month Pro plan.
