Where ChatGPT dots works
Desktop app, desktop web, iOS and Android apps, Slack and Teams: where you can create and use a ChatGPT dot after the October 2026 mobile update.
Last verified: October 10, 2026. This independent guide summarizes OpenAI’s channel documentation. Channel availability can differ by account and rollout stage.
ChatGPT on desktop, web, and mobile
| Surface | Create | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Desktop app | Yes | Yes |
| Desktop web | Yes | Yes |
| iOS/Android app | Yes (Oct 9, ChatGPT Learn) | Yes |
| Mobile web | Not stated as supported | No (Meet dots) |
| Slack | Not a documented creation surface | Direct messages and channel mentions, where available |
| Microsoft Teams | Not a documented creation surface | Messaging in the invite-only alpha |
For the phone-app setup choices, see how to create a dot on mobile. The October 9 update adds app creation; it does not state support for mobile web. The desktop and channel distinctions are described in Meet dots and OpenAI’s messaging guide.
If you cannot find dots at all, check plan eligibility and rollout troubleshooting first. For setup, use get started with ChatGPT dots.
Slack and Microsoft Teams
OpenAI’s messaging guide describes Slack direct messages and channel mentions, plus Microsoft Teams messaging. Connecting a channel is separate from granting access to apps or your computer.
Teams needs an availability qualification: the enterprise admin guide says access is an invite-only alpha. Its appearance in the launch announcement does not establish access for every account.
Adding a dot to Slack does not schedule monitoring. Specify what to watch and ask it to confirm the schedule. See OpenAI’s guidance.
Voice calls
You can start a call from your dot’s ChatGPT conversation. OpenAI says dot-initiated calls are planned for after launch, and ending a voice call does not necessarily stop assigned work. See ChatGPT and voice.
Texting: check the limited beta separately
OpenAI’s launch announcement and messaging guide describe texting as coming soon. The Help Center also documents a limited US Pro beta, excluding Business and Enterprise. Access is not guaranteed; message and data charges may apply. These sources are not yet fully aligned, so check what your account actually offers.
Context can carry across channels
The same dot uses relevant context across channels. Messages stay in their own channels, and sharing still needs authorization. See OpenAI’s channel guidance.
Before expanding where your dot works, review Custom Rules and approvals and app and computer permissions.
Try a bounded voice workflow
For a written brief, candidate implementation and feedback loop, see dots voice notes to app prototype. For a sourced attention-management experiment, see morning briefing and email triage. Both are editorial recipes rather than tested guarantees.
