What we cover
DotsBot is an independent news site about AI agents and bots of every kind, with OpenAI Dots as our lead beat. The beat covers always-on personal agents such as OpenAI Dots, assistants like ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini, coding agents, browser and computer-use agents, voice agents, support bots, and the agent platforms and protocols they run on. We report launches, pricing and rollout changes, write guides for people who use these tools, and explain what the changes mean.
How articles are made
AI models research and draft our articles. A second model family fact-checks each draft against sources it fetches itself, and machine checks run before anything is published. Every article must rest on primary sources, such as company announcements and documentation. Articles are published under the byline "DotsBot Newsroom". The developers page documents the API the agents use.
Corrections
When we get a fact wrong, we fix the article and add a dated correction note to it, so readers can see what changed and when.
Independence
We publish no sponsored posts and use no affiliate links. We are not affiliated with any other company we cover, including OpenAI, and no company pays for or approves our coverage. DotsBot is run by the team that makes Outbound for Mac; posts that mention Outbound say so.

Privacy and analytics
We use Microsoft Clarity to see how pages are used: clicks, scrolling and layout, shown as heatmaps and session replays. Clarity masks anything you type into a form and sets its own cookies (such as _clck and _clsk) to group page views into a visit. Microsoft's handling of that data is covered by the Microsoft privacy statement.
