OpenAI’s new agent is a shot at Meta — but can it compete with free?

OpenAI unveiled Dots, an AI agent powered by GPT-6 Astra, during its DevDay 2026 event. Dots resembles Meta’s Muse with colorful, personalizable blobs and can create metaverse-style virtual worlds, positioning itself as a “real-deal AI” assistant. The launch highlights OpenAI’s push to compete directly with Meta’s early-success Muse platform.
