OpenAI’s dots Update Adds iOS Replies and Improves Windows Computer Use
OpenAI’s November 4 update makes dots easier to reach on iPhones and more reliable on Windows. Desktop browser and file annotations are also rolling out.
The actual story.
OpenAI’s November 4 release notes outline changes to dots across phones and computers, including improvements to local Windows tasks and direct replies from iOS notifications.
On Windows, OpenAI says dots can more reliably continue work in local threads, operate the computer and browser, and use local tools and plugins. The notes describe reliability improvements, rather than a first launch of computer use.
Desktop browser and file annotations are rolling out, letting users point to the specific material they want an assistant to work on.
On iOS, users can reply from notifications, share content from other apps and configure supported iPhones’ Action button to open their dot. OpenAI also reports quicker conversation loading and voice greetings.
GPT-6.1 Terra has joined the models powering dots. Eligible Enterprise, Edu and Healthcare workspaces can enable the assistants. The release notes direct Enterprise administrators to review preview access and billing ahead of November 18.
The update reduces friction between asking an assistant and directing its work across devices.
