What changes in your day-to-day work

Separate the product from the plan

Dots are not available simply because someone has any paid ChatGPT plan. Pro, Business Premium and eligible enterprise beta access have their own conditions. Okou can be tried on its Free plan before buying member packages.

Personal continuity or shared role-specific work

Dots bring ChatGPT memory into a persistent personal agent, and OpenAI is piloting organization specialists. Okou lets a workspace create shared agents for different responsibilities today, with reusable workflows and the caller’s own permissions.

Cloud work and optional local access

Dots have a cloud computer you can inspect and take over. Access to your own computer starts off and can be enabled in the ChatGPT desktop app. Okou also offers a cloud browser and a separately connected desktop. Local tasks depend on the connected computer; cloud work can continue independently.

Where dots may fit better

Existing ChatGPT context: A dot starts with ChatGPT memory and connected apps, reducing repeated briefing for people already doing their work there.
Work and Codex delegation: Dots can create or manage ChatGPT Work and Codex tasks, including existing Codex cloud environments. This is useful when analysis and software delivery are part of the same project.
Cross-channel continuity: OpenAI documents conversations in ChatGPT, Slack and Teams with context carried across channels. Confirm what has reached your account during rollout.

Okou vs OpenAI dots FAQ

How does a dot differ from a regular ChatGPT conversation?

A dot keeps its own memory and cloud computer, uses connected apps and continues projects between conversations. It can run scheduled tasks and delegate work to ChatGPT Work or Codex. A regular conversation does not provide the same ongoing agent relationship.

Does ChatGPT Plus include dots?

The current dots guide lists Pro, Business Premium and eligible enterprise beta access, not Plus. Check the latest eligibility and your account before planning a rollout.

Can dots work with teams?

Yes. Dots can work through Slack and Teams, and OpenAI is piloting specialist dots with organization identities. Okou offers shared agents and workflows that colleagues can reuse with their own connected accounts. Check the rollout and access controls your team needs.

Can I text my dot?

OpenAI’s current guide describes a limited US Pro beta for iMessage and RCS. SMS, group texts and Business or Enterprise texting are not supported. Okou’s phone channel supports iMessage, SMS and MMS; confirm channel availability for your account.

Also compare Okou with Meta Muse, Claude Duet, Viktor, Lindy, Claude Tag, Claude Cowork and ChatGPT workspace agents.
