We Do AI Agents vs ChatGPT Dots
Dots are always-on agents inside ChatGPT, launched by OpenAI in September 2026. You set one up, give it a responsibility and steer it as you go. We build an agent around your workflow and run it for you.
| Factor | ChatGPT Dots | We Do AI Agents |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | An always-on agent inside ChatGPT | An agent built for one job in your business |
| Pricing | Included with ChatGPT Pro and Business Premium | One flat monthly plan |
| Setup | You assign the work and connect your apps | We build it to your workflow |
| Time to live | Once your plan and region have access | Hours to rent, 5 business days custom |
| Upkeep | You review its work and redirect it | We monitor and adjust it |
| Accountability | You own the results | We own the outcome |
THE HONEST TAKE
If your team already pays for ChatGPT Pro or Business Premium, a dot is worth trying for follow-ups and recurring personal work. If you want a business process built and run by a team that answers for it, a managed agent is the better fit.

What teams say
★★★★★
“What we pay for each month is a team that keeps the agent running and updates it when our process changes. Our old software vendor charged more and did neither.”
★★★★★
“Our security review took longer than the build. They had answers ready for almost everything and never pushed us to cut a corner. The agent was earning its keep by week two.”
★★★★★
“The 30-day money-back guarantee got us to try it. We never came close to using it. Three months in, the agent had paid for itself twice.”
