- Dots accept text, photos and voice memos via iMessage or RCS.
- Agent memory carries across ChatGPT and text conversations.

## Summary

OpenAI is beginning to let US subscribers on its Pro plan text their Dot agents, following an earlier promise to add messaging. The feature lets users assign tasks or ask the agent to monitor something, while also allowing the agent to send updates proactively.

Users can send text, photos and voice memos through iMessage or RCS, after selecting Texting in a Dot’s profile in ChatGPT and enabling the relevant messaging service on their phone. OpenAI says it worked with Linq and carried out penetration testing; it also says only the user can text their Dot, and the Dot can only text that user. Dot memory is shared between ChatGPT and text conversations, while Dots are not currently available to Plus subscribers.
