ChatGPT Dots Training:put always-on agentsto work, safely.

Help your team hand real, ongoing work to a dot, with the right rules in place.

Dots are OpenAI's always-on agents inside ChatGPT. Each one has its own cloud computer, connects to your apps through plugins and keeps working between conversations. Waboom AI trains your team to give a dot the right jobs, connect only what it needs, set Custom Rules for what it may do alone, and check its work. Hands-on, onsite or online.

TL;DR

Waboom AI runs hands-on ChatGPT Dots training for business teams across New Zealand and Australia. Dots are always-on agents in ChatGPT Pro and Business Premium, and a beta Enterprise admins can switch on. Your team learns which ongoing jobs to give a dot, how to connect apps through plugins, how to set Custom Rules and approvals, how proactive research works, and how to review a dot's work in Activity View. Workshops start at $1,995 + GST for up to 10 people, onsite or online.

What is a ChatGPT dot?

A dot is an always-on agent inside ChatGPT, launched by OpenAI on 29 September 2026. It has its own cloud computer and browser, connects to over 4,000 apps through plugins, learns from your feedback and keeps making progress between conversations.

You can message or call it in ChatGPT, and message it in Slack and Teams. When you are not working with it, it looks for ways to help through proactive research, using read-only access to your connected apps.

Who can use dots, and what do they cost?

Dots are rolling out to ChatGPT Pro and Business Premium, where your first dot is included in the plan at no extra cost. Enterprise, Edu and Healthcare workspaces can try the beta once an admin turns it on. Dots are for users aged 18 and over, and the rollout to eligible accounts is gradual.

Our Dots training starts at $1,995 + GST for a three hour AI Foundations workshop with up to 10 people, $3,995 + GST for AI Power User and $5,995 + GST for the six hour AI Builder Bootcamp. ChatGPT plans are billed by OpenAI, not by us.

How do we use dots safely at work?

With Custom Rules. For each kind of action you choose whether the dot takes action without asking, takes action only if pre-approved, asks before acting, or hands off to you. Auto-review checks risky actions, and changing a password or moving money always comes back to a person.

We set those rules with your team in the session, connect only the apps each dot needs, and show everyone how to follow its work in Activity View. ChatGPT Business and Enterprise content is not used to train OpenAI's models by default.

What your team does with dots on Monday

A dot is not a better prompt box. It is a colleague that works on goals while your team gets on with the day. Every item below is set up in the session, on the team's own work.

Ongoing jobs handed over

Give the dot a goal, not a question: keep the weekly pipeline report current, chase overdue supplier replies, prepare Monday's client briefings. It works through the steps between conversations and reports back.

  • Always-on
  • Cloud computer

Only the apps it needs

Connect the inbox, calendar, shared drive or CRM through plugins, one at a time, with the narrowest access that does the job, and add your team's Skills so the dot does repeat jobs your way. Plugin permissions carry across ChatGPT, Work and Codex, so we set them once.

  • Plugins
  • Apps
  • Skills

Rules for what it may do alone

Custom Rules for each kind of action: act without asking, act only if pre-approved, ask first, or hand off to you. Your team agrees the rules in the room, before the dot sends a single email.

  • Custom Rules
  • Approvals

Work you can check

Activity View shows what the dot is doing and has done. Your team learns to review a dot's work like a new staff member's, and to give feedback it learns from.

  • Activity View
  • Feedback

Proactive research, understood

When idle, a dot looks for ways to help using read-only access to connected apps. We show the team what that means for their data, and what disconnecting an app does and does not remove.

  • Proactive research

Your dot in Slack and Teams

Message the dot where the team already works, so a request in a Teams thread becomes work that gets done, with your Custom Rules still applying.

  • Slack
  • Teams

How a Dots training session runs

  1. 1

    We pick the right jobs first

    A short call before the session to find the ongoing jobs worth handing to a dot, the plan you are on and the rules your business needs around data and approvals.

  2. 2

    Everyone sets up a dot on real work

    Each person connects the apps their dot needs, writes its first goal and sets its Custom Rules, with Leo in the room checking every permission.

  3. 3

    It is still working on Monday

    The team leaves with dots running on real jobs, agreed rules, and a habit of reviewing Activity View. Larger teams add a follow up session a month later.

The real measure of an AI workshop isn't how excited your people are when they leave.

It's what they do differently when they return to work.

More about Waboom AI

What is Waboom AI ChatGPT Dots training?

Waboom AI ChatGPT Dots training is a hands-on workshop that teaches business teams in New Zealand and Australia to put OpenAI's always-on dots to work safely: choosing the right ongoing jobs, connecting apps through plugins, setting Custom Rules and approvals, and reviewing work in Activity View. It runs onsite or online in three levels from $1,995 + GST including 10 people. Waboom AI is an independent New Zealand company and is not affiliated with OpenAI.

Frequently asked questions

Is ChatGPT Dots available in New Zealand and Australia?

+

Dots are rolling out to ChatGPT Pro and Business Premium in eligible markets, and both New Zealand and Australia are on OpenAI's supported countries list. The rollout is gradual, so we check your workspace has dots switched on before the session.

Which ChatGPT plan do we need for dots?

+

ChatGPT Pro or Business Premium, which include your first dot at no extra cost. Enterprise, Edu and Healthcare workspaces can use the beta once an admin turns it on. OpenAI has not yet published pricing for extra dots.

What is the difference between a dot and ChatGPT Work?

+

ChatGPT Work is an agent for a single longer piece of work, such as a report, spreadsheet or deck, that you start and then review. A dot is always on: it works towards goals over time, between conversations, and can start tasks in Work or Codex for you. Those tasks count towards your usage limits, while chatting with your dot does not.

Can a dot send emails or spend money without asking?

+

Only if your Custom Rules allow it, and some actions always come back to a person. Changing a password or transferring money always hands off to you, and purchases on a saved card need your approval. We set the rules so external messages are held for approval until your team is comfortable.

Is our data used to train OpenAI's models?

+

Not by default on ChatGPT Business, Enterprise or Edu. OpenAI also says it does not train directly on proactive research or a dot's notes. Disconnecting an app does not delete what a dot already learned from it, only resetting the dot does, so we cover what to connect before you connect it.

Can you run Dots training at our office?

+

Yes. We run sessions onsite anywhere in New Zealand, in Sydney and Brisbane, or online over Teams or Zoom. Each person works on their own ChatGPT account and their own jobs, so the dots keep running after we leave.

Do we need ChatGPT training before Dots training?

+

It helps but is not required. Teams new to ChatGPT start with AI Foundations, which covers good briefs and safe data habits alongside a first dot. Teams already using ChatGPT daily go straight to AI Power User.

Is this training run by OpenAI?

+

No. Waboom AI is an independent New Zealand AI company. We are not affiliated with OpenAI and OpenAI does not run or endorse this training. We use OpenAI's tools alongside others to build systems for clients, and we teach what works.
