ChatGPT’s Dot Agent Now Takes Tasks by Phone Text Messages

OpenAI is rolling out phone messaging support for Dot, its always on task agent, so ChatGPT Pro users can send requests and get progress updates in their phone’s messaging app. OpenAI has begun letting US ChatGPT Pro subscribers send task requests to Dot, its AI agent for ongoing work, through their phone’s messaging app. The beta brings instructions and progress updates into iMessage on iPhone and RCS messaging on Android. The rollout began on October 28. Texting reaches the same Dot that users can contact in ChatGPT, Slack and Microsoft Teams, carrying relevant preferences and work context between conversations. Users can send a photo or voice note as well as a typed request, and choose which updates deserve a text.
