ChatGPT and dots and Chat with Work, side by side
Dimension	ChatGPT and dots	Chat with Work
What it is	A general AI assistant. ChatGPT Work (July 9, 2026) takes on longer tasks across connected apps and runs scheduled ones; dots (September 29, 2026) are always-on agents that reply in ChatGPT, Slack, or Teams.	AI bots and an assistant for your team's tools, as a service or on your own servers.
Bots that work by themselves	Scheduled tasks run once or on repeat, and on Plus and up, Work's tasks can start on supported Gmail, Slack, or GitHub activity. Business and Enterprise add team tasks, and workspace agents that run in Slack, on a schedule, or through an API. dots run reminders and recurring tasks, and reply in Slack.	Bots start on a time, or when something happens: mail to their address or in Outlook, a GitHub issue, a webhook, the API, another agent, or a message in Slack, Discord, or Chatwoot. They work through the integrations you give them, on every plan, Free included.
How you set one up	In plain words: ask ChatGPT, or in Work "describe the event and the action ChatGPT should take". Workspace agents start from a prompt, then a builder.	Say what it should do in a chat, and approve the bot on one card, or start from one of 92 recipes. Its instructions stay plain words, and it works out the steps each time: no workflow to wire.
Before it changes anything	You choose per app when it asks, from always to never. In workspaces the default, Important actions, asks only before actions ChatGPT judges to have a meaningful effect outside it, to expose sensitive information, or to be hard to undo. A task waiting for approval pauses, in that task. dots add Custom Rules and a model's Auto-review; workspace agents ask before writes by default.	Integrations start at Read. Changes ask first, shown as they will run, unless you let a bot's changes run; deleting asks unless you allow that one tool. Every change and question waiting for you, from every chat and bot, is in one queue.
Available in Europe	Yes, and Work is "available in all supported regions". dots leave out Pro in the EEA, Switzerland, and the UK; Business Premium gets them in supported regions, and Enterprise when an admin turns on the beta.	Yes, on every plan, Free included.
Where your data and the models are	On OpenAI's servers. Eligible new Enterprise and Edu customers can store data in Europe and keep inference there, except for features still in beta; apps, MCP, and web search may store data elsewhere. On Business, residency is rolling out without inference residency, and "a copy of every prompt and response is also stored in the United States for a limited time".	The app on our servers in Germany, and GPT, Gemini, and Claude, all in the EU. Web search, off by default, leaves the EU. Or on your own servers.
Self-hosting	No.	Yes. Ask about self-hosting.
Price	Plus €23 a month, with scheduled tasks and Work; Pro from €103. Business €21 a seat a month billed yearly; dots need Premium seats, €105 billed yearly or €130 monthly. Enterprise by quote.	Free to start. From €20 a month for one person, and from €25 per person for teams plus VAT.
