Dots are always-on agents inside ChatGPT, each with its own cloud computer and browser, connected to around 4,000 apps and reachable by message or voice call in ChatGPT, Slack and Teams. The example OpenAI leads with is a tester's dot noticing he had forgotten to invoice a publication, preparing it, and sending it once he approved. Two days ago OpenAI cancelled the release of GPT-6.1 Astra for missing its own bar on scope, authorization and telling users what work it had done. Dots ships with Custom Rules, an Activity View and an auto review.

Chat.sh is a help centre that sits in a folder on your own domain, writes the answer to a question and cites the pages it pulled it from. Damon Chen searched his own Intercom help centre for "what's the cost?", watched it match on "the", gave them seven days to fix it, and had a working replacement on day four. Every page also publishes as markdown with an llms.txt, which stopped being a nicety around the time Chrome's Lighthouse began auditing sites for one and OpenAI, Anthropic and Google started shipping their own.

The notch arrived on the MacBook Pro five years ago this month and spent almost all of that time as the one piece of screen nobody could use. It is having its moment now, and NotchMind is the seventh app in five weeks to move in: hover over it and you get music controls with album art, a drop zone handling AirDrop and quick file conversion, downloads, timers, reminders, the calendar, clipboard history and clean HUDs for volume, brightness, charging and AirPods. Clipboard entries and files stay on the Mac, Secret Guard holds back passwords and API keys, and Smart Mode, which suggests actions for whatever you copy, ships switched off.
