OpenAI enables text message communication with its Dot AI assistant via iMessage and RCS
OpenAI has rolled out an update allowing users to interact with their "Dot" AI assistant via text messages. This new functionality enables direct communication with the AI agent through popular messaging platforms like iMessage and RCS (Google Messages), eliminating the need for a dedicated application. Users can now send texts, and in some reports, photos and voice messages, to their Dot assistant as if it were a regular contact. While many outlets confirm the availability of text communication, Gagadget.com specifically states that this feature is currently limited to the US. The Decoder also noted that OpenAI teased Dots for Europe during a Berlin DevDay, suggesting a phased international rollout. MacStories further reported the addition of iCloud Calendar and Mail plugins alongside the texting feature, indicating a broader expansion of Dot's capabilities as a personal assistant.
