OpenAI Confirms Dots Assistant Launch in Europe and Platform Ecosystem Push
Current overview (not historical)
OpenAI has confirmed that its Dots AI assistant will launch in Europe within weeks, with personal accounts subject to regional restrictions. The company highlighted a significant increase in Germany's Codex weekly active users, which grew twentyfold since January. OpenAI emphasized locking in developers through its Agents API, noting that its platform now serves 120 million weekly ChatGPT users, aiming to bind developers to its infrastructure rather than just its models. The Berlin DevDay event was framed as a platform-building exercise rather than a product showcase.
