The event runs from October 13 to October 15 at Moscone West in San Francisco. Embiricos leads the Dots product team. OpenAI recently unveiled Dots as an always-on personal agent designed to operate beyond standard chat prompts.
These agents feature dedicated cloud computers, link with everyday applications, and run background tasks toward specific goals. The session, titled “What Comes After the Chatbot?”, will examine the strategy behind Dots and the future direction of personal agents. According to the report, the conversation will also address major industry questions regarding user control, permissions for autonomous actions, and user trust surrounding sensitive data access.
The appearance follows closely after the initial rollout of Dots. Organizers scheduled the exclusive interview for the AI Stage at the upcoming conference.
