OpenAI now lets people reach their ChatGPT dot agent through Apple's Messages app, over iMessage and RCS, on 28 October. Before, a dot worked only in ChatGPT.
Users can give the dot a task or something to watch by text, photo or voice note, and it texts back updates. Setup: tap the dot's profile and choose Texting.

OpenAI says the dot keeps its context and plugins everywhere and cannot see the user's other texts.
About ChatGPT dot
ChatGPT dots are OpenAI's personal agents: always-on assistants that pursue a user's goals in the background, independent of any one app or piece of hardware, and built on GPT-6 Astra. OpenAI launched them at its DevDay on 29 September 2026 for Pro and Business Premium users in eligible markets, and they can be started from Codex or ChatGPT.
At launch a user could message a dot through ChatGPT, Slack and Microsoft Teams, with text-message support described as coming soon. Each dot has its own cloud computer and browser and could reach more than 4,000 apps through OpenAI's plugins.
Dots debuted on 29 September, on GPT-6 Astra.
