Availability
OpenAI is rolling out dots to eligible ChatGPT Pro and Business Premium users, with Enterprise beta access controlled by administrators. Meta describes Muse availability and a free tier with usage limits; verify eligibility in Meta’s current service.
Pricing
OpenAI has not yet published post-introductory dots usage terms in the cited release notes. Meta describes free and paid use but the cited product page does not establish a durable price comparison.
Capabilities
OpenAI documents a dot’s own cloud computer, connected apps, memory, and scheduled work. Meta documents a dedicated secure VM with a browser, connected apps, and background tasks.
Permissions
Both vendors describe user controls and approval steps. Exact behavior depends on the action, connection, and account. AI Dots has not independently tested either approval model.
Workflows and test evidence
The Blueprints on this site are platform-neutral designs. Neither vendor has been tested by AI Dots on these three launch workflows.
Key differences
OpenAI dots are managed inside ChatGPT; Meta Muse is presented as a dedicated personal-agent product. This is a product-positioning distinction drawn from their official pages, not a performance judgment.
