Agents with OpenAI Dots

CopilotKit CEO Atai Barkai released OpenDots one day after the demo: always-on coworkers with computer use, Slack and Teams, Spaces and Pages, and voice calls, built on AG-UI so teams can clone and customise it.

Dhruval Golakiya gave Claude Opus one night to build his own bot and dot that signs in with a ChatGPT or Claude subscription and gives every agent its own VM. Twelve hours later the prototype, called TOT, existed.

Open-source Mac app for personal agents that work autonomously on their own computers, built on OpenAI and Composio.

Composio's Karan Vaidya launched an open-source dots that runs on your Mac with each dot holding its own logged-in browser, triggers on Gmail and Calendar plus 1,500 apps, and voice calls. Pitched at a tenth of the cost.
