Short answer: Not on their own, as far as has been reported. Dots are OpenAI's always-on personal agents; TechCrunch reported their launch at DevDay on 29 September 2026 for Pro and Business Premium users. Reports say each one has a cloud computer, a browser, memory and the apps connected to your ChatGPT account, but no phone line; reports say text messaging is "coming soon". If your dot can use the plugins you connect in ChatGPT, connecting OsmO there is the way to give it a phone.
Press reports date the launch to 29 September 2026, for ChatGPT Pro and Business Premium.
