- Summary: OpenAI's documentation describes a dot as an agent that holds its own browser sessions and optionally saved logins, can drive one connected personal computer while the ChatGPT app is open, and creates and continues Codex tasks there. The controls page states that pausing a dot stops its current main task but not every delegated task or future scheduled run, and that stopping work does not undo completed actions. The overview page states that ending a voice call does not necessarily stop work already assigned.
- Why it matters: The stop path is not a single control, so granting a dot saved logins and a connected computer means accepting actions that pausing will not roll back.
- Follow-up: Track whether the documented controls gain a single revoke path, and what audit trail a dot leaves on the connected computer.
