## Definition

A **permanent agent** is a persistent, always-available AI agent — as used here, OpenAI's _Dots_ agent from DevDay 2026, which stays with the user over time rather than being spun up per task.

In this channel's material on OpenAI's DevDay 2026 releases, **Permanent agent** refers to *Dots*, one of the announced products: a persistent agent that runs as part of OpenAI's push toward an **operating system for work** [^48eda57c-def8-59a7-a582-e2bf5e41be59]. Dots appears alongside the *Space* office suite, plugin extensions, token portability, and the Solutions API in a hands-on tour of the launches — six highlights worth exploring to understand which pieces are ready to use today and which deserve a wait-and-see approach.
