Chief vs ChatGPT dots
Dots is OpenAI’s always-on agent inside ChatGPT, with its own cloud computer and browser. Chief is a hosted marketing lead with a team behind it. Here is how they differ, with sources.
What ChatGPT dots is
Dots is OpenAI’s always-on agent inside ChatGPT. Each dot has its own cloud computer and browser, keeps working while your devices are off and asks for your input when a decision needs you.
You reach it in the ChatGPT mobile and desktop apps, by voice call, and in Slack and Teams. It starts from your ChatGPT memory and keeps its own notes. An automatic review decides whether an action can go ahead, needs your approval or must be handed to you, and you can add ask-first rules.
It comes with ChatGPT Pro (from $100 a month), Business Premium or Enterprise. On Pro it is for users over 18 outside the EEA, UK and Switzerland; on Enterprise an admin turns it on. It suits people who want one hosted agent working across their apps and the web.
Where ChatGPT dots is ahead
- It is a general agent with its own cloud computer and browser.
- It works in Slack and Teams, and by voice call.
- It is hosted by OpenAI, with approval checks built in.
- It takes on work across many apps.
What Chief is
Chief is FeedSquad’s AI marketing lead. It plans your week, drafts posts for LinkedIn, X and Threads, and coordinates the agents on your plan. It does that one job, in five ways.
Integrated
A team stands behind Chief. Specialist agents draft each format, Handler publishes to LinkedIn, X and Threads, and Stash is the brand memory they all read. Briefings and approvals come to Telegram, and an email brief arrives on working days.
Inside your brand rules
Drafts start from Stash: your voice and facts, each marked approved or blocked. Your “never again” rules carry into every plan. Proactive pings stop at 5 a working day and arrive only in your working hours.
Approval first
Nothing publishes until you approve it, and your edit is the text that ships.
Marketing flows only
A weekly plan with its reasons, the posts per channel that carry it out, and results that feed the next plan. Chief is not a general-purpose assistant.
No setup
Chief is hosted. Sign up and connect your channels. There are no servers, API keys, skills or hosting to manage.
