Textbook responsibility-loop diagram showing a persistent Dot receiving a goal, working through a bounded cloud computer and connected apps, returning outputs for review, and incorporating feedback.

Summary: OpenAI introduced Dots as always-on agents with their own cloud computer, connected apps and feedback-driven personalization for continuing responsibilities.

Why it matters: Persistent agents shift the design question from one-off answers to ongoing responsibility: goals, permissions, review checkpoints, current-state context and feedback all need to remain understandable over time.
