OpenAI's Dots Agent Struggles to Match Meta's Price

At its annual DevDay conference, OpenAI unveiled Dots, an AI agent powered by GPT-6 Astra. CEO Sam Altman introduced the product as a "real-deal AI" agent featuring colorful, personalizable blob characters. Dots targets Meta's Muse platform, which has seen early runaway success, and aims to go further by enabling users to build metaverse-style virtual worlds. However, despite the competitive feature set, Dots falls short in one critical area: price, where it fails to match Meta's offering.
