ChatGPT dots become available by default for Enterprise and Edu on November 18
OpenAI has made dots generally available to eligible ChatGPT Enterprise, Edu and Healthcare workspaces. A personal dot can keep working on a task between conversations. Until November 18, there is an admin preview: workspace owners and admins can turn dots on early or opt out. On November 18, dots become available by default in workspaces that did not opt out.
Admins can choose which members can use dots. They can also see each member's personal dots and their connections, pause or resume them, and review usage and admin activity. Workspace owners can delete personal dots. New dots support data residency and Enterprise Key Management, with inference residency in the EU and the US. Dots are not available in workspaces with UAE data or inference residency. In covered workspaces, dots are HIPAA-eligible.
What it means for your work
- If you run a ChatGPT workspace: Decide before November 18 who gets dots, or opt out until you have a policy.
- If you use ChatGPT at work: A dot can keep working between conversations, so check what it connects to.
- If you handle regulated data: Check your residency settings, because dots made before general availability move to your region within 30 days.
OpenAI also changed how ChatGPT and Codex share usage; see our earlier report.
