VestraVestra gives your business a chief you name, Bash by default, who hires and runs a team of AI teammates that own whole jobs, from $19 a month. OpenAI Dot starts you with one primary dot inside ChatGPT, included with ChatGPT Pro from $100 a month.
Yes. Your Vestra office is a map you can walk around. Every person, chief and teammate has a desk, and a Right now feed says in one line what each one is doing, live. Walk over or tap any desk to see its work, watch its computer and take over.[1]
OpenAI Dot starts you with one primary dot. Its profile lists what it has in progress, scheduled and completed.[2]
One look tells you what moved, what’s stuck and who it’s waiting on.
No. Vestra starts at $19 a month, and your first 1,000 credits are free. Lite gives you up to 3 teammates and 2,000 credits every month, and unused credits roll over. Pro adds phone calls for $97.[3]
OpenAI Dot comes with a ChatGPT plan. Your first dot is included with ChatGPT Pro or a Business Premium seat.[2] Pro costs $100, $200 or $500 a month.[4] A Business Premium seat costs $125 a month, or $100 billed yearly, and a Business workspace needs at least two seats.[5]
You can try a whole AI team for $19, not $100.
Yes. Your Vestra chief has its own phone number and email address. It writes, replies and follows up from them, and phone calls start on Pro.[6] You cap spending per task and per day, money and first contact wait for your yes, and every piece of work has a receipt.[7]
OpenAI Dot works in your connected email, and you can call it from the ChatGPT app. At launch it can’t have its own email address or call you. Custom rules let you choose what it may share, buy or access, and OpenAI’s getting-started guide doesn’t describe per-task or daily spending caps.[2]
Your team can reach people for you, and you always know what it spent.
Start with one real job you want off your plate. See how your chief and its teammates handle it, then build from there.
The rows follow the four reasons above: a chief that runs the whole team; from $19, not $100; calls, email and the apps you use; and limits, approvals and receipts. After those come the areas both products cover, and how each one approaches them. OpenAI Dot, also called ChatGPT dots, lives inside ChatGPT and also works in Microsoft Teams. Vestra is built to run work across your whole business.
| What matters | Vestra | OpenAI Dot |
|---|---|---|
| Who runs the work | You name your chief (Bash by default) and tell it what you need in a sentence. It asks what a good manager would, then writes a teammate card: the job, goals you can check, the apps it uses, its first routines and what it must ask you about first. You read it, change anything and say yes. From then on your chief hands out the work, makes sure every result is checked before it reaches you, and brings you only real decisions.[8][9] | You start with one primary dot, which takes on ongoing work and brings results back for your review. Specialist dots, which take on dedicated responsibilities inside a company, are starting with focused enterprise pilots.[10][2] |
| See your whole team | Your office is a map you can walk around, like a game. Every person, chief and teammate has a desk, and a Right now feed says in one line what each one is doing, live. An orange tag shows who is waiting on whom. Tap any desk to see its work, watch its computer live or take over. Nothing moves on the map unless real work is happening.[1] | Your dot’s profile lists its work under In progress, Scheduled and Completed, and you can open its computer from there.[2] |
| Plans | Lite $19 a month for up to 3 teammates and 2,000 credits. Pro $97 for 20 teammates, 10,000 credits and phone calls. Max $197 for 50 teammates and 20,000 credits. Ultra $497 for 150 teammates and 50,000 credits. Billed yearly, they are $17, $87, $177 and $447 a month. One credit is one cent, the same for model time, the computer, searches and calls, and every plan includes your chief and the whole office. No ChatGPT plan needed.[3] | Comes with ChatGPT Pro at $100, $200 or $500 a month, or a Business Premium seat at $125 a month ($100 billed yearly). A Business workspace needs at least two seats in total, Standard or Premium.[4][5][2] |
| Getting started | Sign up directly, on any plan. Every new office starts with 1,000 free credits, enough to hand over real work before you pick a plan. Your chief suggests your first teammates, you connect a few tools, and work starts the same day. Your team’s memory fills from your tools’ history on day one, so it already knows your customers.[11][12][13] | Rolling out gradually to Pro users aged 18 and over outside the EEA, Switzerland and the UK, and to Business Premium users in supported regions. Access may take several days to reach your account. In Enterprise, Edu and Healthcare workspaces, dots are on by default from 18 November 2026 unless an admin opts out.[2] |
| Where you use it | Talk to your chief in the Vestra app on the web and the desktop app for Mac, in Slack (by direct message or a mention in any channel), in Telegram, or by email: forward anything, or copy it in on a thread. It’s the same chief everywhere, so a conversation started in Slack can finish in the app, and replying “1” takes the suggested option on any decision. WhatsApp and iMessage are being built.[6][8] | ChatGPT on the web, the mobile apps and the desktop app, plus Microsoft Teams and Slack. Texting over iMessage or RCS is a limited beta for Pro users in the US, Canada and Mexico.[14][2] |
| Calls and email | Your chief has its own phone number and email address, so it calls and writes from its own line and inbox, not yours. It writes first, replies and follows up until there’s an answer. Before a call it reads what the team knows about the person, and afterwards the notes and next steps go where they belong. The first call or email to anyone new waits for your yes. Phone calls start on Pro.[6][15][3] | You can call your dot from the ChatGPT mobile app, but it can’t call you at launch. It can work in your personal email once you connect it, but OpenAI says a dot can’t have its own email address at launch.[2] |
| App connections | More than 2,000 apps connect in a click, including Gmail, Slack, HubSpot, Notion, Shopify and Stripe. Connect an app once, then choose which teammates may use it. Logins stay sealed: agents use them without ever seeing the password, and you can take access back in one tap. Where there’s no connector, a teammate uses the website on its own computer.[15][7] | 4,000+ apps, through plugins. Plugin permissions are shared with ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work and Codex. Disconnecting an app doesn’t delete what the dot has already learned from it.[10][16][2] |
| Model and engine choice | More than a model: pick the engine that does each teammate’s work, Vestra’s own, Claude Code or Codex. Your chief suggests one and says why, or picks job by job. Mix them in one team, so code written on Claude Code can be reviewed on Codex. Switch any time without losing the teammate’s job, skills or memory, and every engine works under the same approvals, limits and receipts.[17][6] | Runs on OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Terra, and can use different models for different parts of its work.[10] |
| Its own cloud computer | Your team works on a cloud computer with a real browser, files and a terminal. It uses any website the way you do, including ones with no connector, like supplier portals, booking pages and government forms. Watch it live, take over with one click when a site needs you, and hand it back to carry on where you left off. It has 8 GB on Lite and Pro, 16 GB on Max and 32 GB on Ultra.[15][3] | A dot has its own cloud computer. You can open it from the dot’s profile, take over and return control. Access to your own computer is optional, through the ChatGPT desktop app.[2] |
| Approvals | Spending over your limit, contacting someone new and deleting anything always come to you, and no setting turns that off. Everything else you tune teammate by teammate and task by task: ask first, suggest, or act and tell you afterwards. New teammates start by asking, and get more freedom only when you move the setting. Each decision arrives in one line with the facts and a suggestion, so you can answer from your lock screen.[7][8] | Custom rules cover what a dot may share, buy or access: act without asking, act if you asked for it, ask first, or hand it to you. Auto-review checks some actions, like sending an email, before they run.[2][14] |
| Spending limits and receipts | Cap any single task and the whole day, up to $100 a day. Anything unusually big, over 50 credits by default, waits for your okay with the cost shown. When a cap is reached, work stops at a sensible point and says what’s left. Every receipt splits the cost into model time, actions and computer time, and shows which teammate spent it on which job. Unused credits roll over, and you can top up any time.[7][3] | Your first dot comes with ChatGPT Pro or a Business Premium seat, plus an allowance for deeper work. Enterprise workspaces pay flat rates or by usage, and work a dot hands to ChatGPT Work or Codex is billed separately. OpenAI’s getting-started guide doesn’t describe per-task or daily spending caps.[2] |
| Memory | A shared wiki of your people, customers, decisions, numbers and what went wrong last time, with a source for every line. It fills from your tools’ history on day one, then from every task, email and correction. Open any line’s source or edit any page, and the fix reaches every teammate’s next piece of work: correct one teammate once, and they all learn.[13][6] | Starts with context from ChatGPT memory and forms its own memories, including from connected apps. You can’t view or delete its own memories one by one: deleting them means deleting the dot.[2][16] |
| Schedules and proactive work | Each teammate owns a goal and does three kinds of work: one-off asks, routines that run on a schedule (a market note every Monday at 9) or the moment something happens (a rival changing its prices), and the goal it holds for months. When it spots something worth doing, it brings you a proposal to approve, and on quiet days it says nothing. Your chief sends a morning brief at the time and place you choose.[9][8] | Researches in the background, suggests ways to help and reviews what’s in your connected apps without being asked. It also runs reminders and recurring tasks you schedule.[2] |
| Skills | Ready-made skills for Sales, Bookkeeping, Content, Customer care and Research, added to any teammate in a click. Custom skills are built around your own playbooks, data and standards, usually during onboarding, and read like a short plain-language checklist you can edit when your business changes.[9] | Learns your preferences and what good looks like from your feedback. With your own computer connected, it can also use your local skills.[10][2] |
| Research | Hire a Research teammate in a sentence. Findings land in your memory wiki with a source for every line, and the rest of your team turns them into the outreach, the deck or the price change.[9][13] | A dot can research a topic, pull together data and customer feedback, and keep a deck up to date as new information comes in.[2] |
A chief that runs the whole team. Your chief hires teammates in a sentence and checks their work before it reaches you, and you watch them all at work in the office.[8] OpenAI Dot starts you with one primary dot.[10]
From $19, not $100. Vestra plans start at $19 a month.[3] A dot comes with ChatGPT Pro, from $100 a month.[4]
Calls, email and the apps you use. Your chief calls and writes from its own line and inbox, and connects to 2,000+ apps.[15]
Limits, approvals and receipts. Daily and per-task caps, your yes on money, and every credit itemized.[7]
If you already pay for ChatGPT Pro or Business Premium, your first dot comes at no extra cost, and it starts with what ChatGPT already remembers about you.[2] It also fits teams that work in Microsoft Teams.[10] If you want a team that runs work across your business, with its own phone and email, spending caps and receipts, Vestra is the better fit, from $19 a month.
Vestra starts at $19 a month. Lite is $19 for up to 3 teammates, Pro $97 for 20, Max $197 for 50 and Ultra $497 for 150. Bigger plans also add credits, a bigger computer and, from Pro, phone calls. Your first 1,000 credits are free, unused credits roll over, and you can top up any time.[3]
A dot costs more to start. Your first dot comes with ChatGPT Pro or a Business Premium seat, plus an allowance for deeper work.[2] Pro costs $100, $200 or $500 a month.[4] A Business Premium seat costs $125 a month, or $100 a month billed yearly. A Business workspace needs at least two seats in total, Standard or Premium.[5] Enterprise, Edu and Healthcare workspaces get dots by default from 18 November 2026 unless an admin opts out, and billing begins that day.[2] Credits and allowances are different units, so plan prices don’t show the cost of each task.
Yes. Spending over your limit, contacting someone new and deleting anything always come to you. You cap spending per task and per day, up to $100 a day, and every piece of work has a receipt.[7] OpenAI Dot lets you set custom rules for what it may share, buy or access. Its getting-started guide doesn’t describe per-task or daily spending caps.[2]
Yes. Your chief has its own phone number and email address, and it writes, replies and follows up from them. The first call or email to anyone new waits for your yes, and phone calls start on Pro.[6] At launch, a dot can’t have its own email address or call you, though you can call it from the ChatGPT app.[2]
Describe the work your dot does to your chief in a sentence, and it hires the teammates for it.[9] Write down what you want Vestra to know, because you can’t view a dot’s own memories one by one.[2] Reconnect the apps the work needs,[15] and start with one familiar task so you can check the result against how you already work.
Sign up, name your chief and tell it about your work. It suggests your first teammates, you connect a few tools, and work starts the same day. Every new account starts with 1,000 free credits, and plans start at $19 a month.[12]
