OpenAI brings Dots to workplace plans, with a Nov 18 admin deadline

Your move: Review access and costs before Dots becomes available by default on Nov 18.

OpenAI expanded Dots to eligible ChatGPT Enterprise, Edu and Healthcare workspaces on Nov 4. These personal agents keep working between conversations. Access is off by default during admin preview; on Nov 18 it becomes available unless admins opt out. Members still create their own Dot. Admins can review access, connections and usage, pause agents, and control computer capabilities.

Why it matters

Workspace admins have a deadline to review access and costs. For eligible Enterprise workspaces, Dot billing starts Nov 18 for enabled Dots; delegated Work or Codex tasks cost extra even during preview. Local-computer access is off by default for Enterprise, and UAE data or inference residency is excluded. The catch: pausing a Dot does not necessarily stop separate Work, Codex or scheduled tasks, or revoke app connections. Review those separately. These are documented vendor controls, not a hands-on security or compliance audit.
