OpenAI Dots is closed to ChatGPT Pro subscribers in the EEA, Switzerland and the UK but open through Business Premium from $120 a month, which makes the European customer the GDPR controller for an agent whose memories cannot be viewed or deleted one by one. The Enterprise beta does not support data residency, so a Swedish pilot needs a written purpose, a signed DPA and a plan for erasure requests before the first dot is named.

A standard OpenAI dot acts on its owner's account, so downstream logs name the employee and cannot separate attended from unattended action, while Microsoft's Entra agent labels never see it. Specialist dots with their own identity are in pilots with an undated Agent 365 integration, so today's controls are plugin scope, the four rule levels, role permissions and a usage policy written for agents.

OpenAI Dots and Meta Muse launched 21 days apart with opposite trust models: Dots inherit 4,000+ ChatGPT plugins and the user's identity behind auto-review and four rule levels, while Muse runs each user in a dedicated VM behind a Sentinel gatekeeper with surrogate credentials. Only Dots are reachable from Sweden, through Business Premium, so the practical work for a Swedish team is plugin inventory, rule levels and audit attribution.

OpenAI Dots are always-on agents on GPT-6 Astra with their own cloud computer, 4,000+ inherited ChatGPT connectors, four permission levels and a memory you can reset but not read. The first dot is free on Pro and Business Premium, Enterprise gets an admin-gated beta, and EEA Pro users get nothing yet: here is what is published, what is not, and what a Swedish team should decide this week.

Anthropic's 19 August GA wave took computer use out of beta, launched a browser use toolset, and moved the Files API, Agent Skills and enterprise user management to production on the Claude API. The same release added allowed_domains and blocked_domains restrictions for agent web tools: how the matching rules work, when to allowlist versus blocklist, and what the controls mean for EU governance.
