OpenAI held its annual DevDay on September 29 in San Francisco, marking the company’s turn in the fall tech‑event calendar. The live keynote, led by CEO Sam Altman, served as the platform for the day’s most prominent announcements.
Among the updates, OpenAI introduced Dots, an AI agent product designed to compete directly with Meta’s recently launched Muse. While Muse is offered to users at no cost, OpenAI’s positioning of Dots suggests a differentiated approach, though pricing details were not disclosed during the presentation.

Industry observers will be watching how Dots performs against the free alternative from Meta and whether it can attract developers and enterprises.
