OpenAI's new agent Dots
OpenAI has introduced a new agent called Dots, designed to automate online tasks on a user's behalf. The agent is built to handle everyday internet chores such as buying furniture.
First impressions
According to Wired's experience, the always-on Dots was a bit buggy in initial use and could not complete a captcha. That suggests the agent is not yet fully mature.
Why it matters
Consumer-facing agents promise to take over tasks like browsing and shopping, changing how people use AI. But obstacles such as captchas and bugs raise questions about how reliable these agents really are in daily life.
