OpenAI says users can message Dots through ChatGPT, Slack, and Microsoft Teams and join a waitlist to text via iMessage or RCS messaging on Android (Reece Rogers/Wired)

OpenAI is extending its Dots assistant into the enterprise collaboration stack by making it available through ChatGPT, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, with iMessage and Android RCS texting coming via waitlist. For CIOs, this signals a shift from one-off chatbot use to persistent, always-on AI workers embedded in daily workflows, which could improve responsiveness and productivity but will also raise important questions around data governance, access controls, retention, and acceptable use for IT organizations.
