Kind: release · Impact: medium

## In brief

- OpenAI has documented a way for a single ChatGPT dot to work across more than one connected local computer.
- A dot is described by OpenAI as an always-on AI agent with its own cloud computer.
- Dots can also connect to a user's local machines, and users can create separate tasks for them.

## Why it matters

Developers using OpenAI's dots may be able to split and run agent work across several of their own machines from one agent, rather than limiting it to a single computer.
