These features follow the debut of dots at OpenAI's DevDay event one week ago. The agents operate alongside Codex Cloud, which provide reusable development environments and a command line interface featuring voice steering and multi-agent tracking. Théo Sottiaux, head of ChatGPT and Codex, has stated that these agents are intended to become the primary interface for AI interaction to replace manual loop and graph configurations.

OpenAI Adds Mobile Support and Codex Integration for Dot Agents

Users can now build "dots" agents directly from the ChatGPT applications on iOS and Android. These agents are newly capable of delegating tasks within Codex, which allows them to initiate work, track progress on existing threads, and manage "Scheduled Tasks" within the ChatGPT Work environment. The update enables the agents to utilize previous ChatGPT conversations, Codex history, and automation data to determine whether to maintain a thread or start a new one.
