VestraVestra gives you a team that finishes the work, run by Bash, your Chief AI Officer, from $19 a month. OpenAI Dot starts you with one primary dot that comes with ChatGPT Pro, from $100 a month.
Vestra gives you a team that finishes the work. OpenAI Dot starts you with one primary dot. In Vestra, you give Bash, your Chief AI Officer, the outcome in plain words. It writes a plan, calls in specialist agents such as a researcher, an analyst and a reviewer, and runs them in parallel under its plan. You watch every step, and you get a finished task back.[1] The work runs on its own cloud computer, with files, a browser and a terminal, so it keeps going while your laptop is closed.[2] It can handle payments too, and each one is held until you say go.[3]
OpenAI Dot starts you with your primary dot. Specialist dots, which take on dedicated responsibilities inside a company, are starting with focused enterprise pilots.[4]
You hand over one outcome and get finished work back.
No. With Vestra, you start at $19 a month, and your first 1,000 credits are free. Every plan comes with a team, credits and its own computer. Every credit is itemized, so you can see where the work went.[2]
OpenAI Dot comes with a ChatGPT plan. Your first dot is included with ChatGPT Pro or a Business Premium seat.[5] Pro costs $100, $200 or $500 a month.[6] A Business Premium seat costs $125 a month, or $100 billed yearly. A Business workspace needs at least two seats in total, Standard or Premium.[7] Dots aren’t rolling out to Pro users in the EEA, Switzerland or the UK.[5]
You can try a whole AI team for $19, not $100.
You do. With Vestra, you run it your way. Pin the model you prefer, or let Vestra pick the best one for each task. It isn’t tied to one lab, so a new model is an upgrade, not a migration.[8] Save how you like work done as an Ability by teaching it your playbook in plain words.[9] Choose what needs your OK: pick a permission mode, and sends and payments pause at the level you set.[10] If a detail changes, correct its page in Brain, Vestra’s memory, and every future task uses your correction.[11]
OpenAI Dot runs on GPT-6 Astra.[4] Both products let you set which actions need your approval.[12]
The work runs on your model, your way, and waits for your OK.
Start with one real piece of work you want off your plate. See how Bash and its specialists handle it, then build from there.
The rows follow the four reasons above: a team that finishes the work, start at $19, run it your way and reach it where you work. After those come the areas where the two are close, and the one place where OpenAI Dot, also called ChatGPT dots, does more: Microsoft Teams.
| What matters | Vestra | OpenAI Dot |
|---|---|---|
| Getting work done | Give Bash the outcome. It writes a plan, calls in specialist agents such as a researcher, an analyst and a reviewer, and runs them in parallel. It works on its own cloud computer with files, a browser and a terminal, and keeps going while your laptop is closed. Tasks run side by side.[1][2][3] | You start with one primary dot. Specialist dots are starting with focused enterprise pilots. Like Vestra, a dot has its own cloud computer.[4][12] |
| Cost to start | Lite $19, Pro $97, Max $197 and Ultra $497 a month. Every plan comes with a team, credits and its own computer. Bigger plans add teammates and credits, and phone calls start on Pro.[2] | 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.[6][7][5] |
| Getting started | Sign up directly and start with 1,000 free credits.[2] | Rolling out gradually on eligible plans. Not rolling out to Pro users in the EEA, Switzerland or the UK.[5] |
| Model choice | Vestra picks the best model for each task, or you pin the one you prefer. It isn’t tied to one lab.[8] | Runs on GPT-6 Astra.[4] |
| Saving how you like work done | Teach an Ability your playbook in plain words: how you qualify, how you write, when you escalate. Brain carries what each task learned into the next one.[9][2] | Learns your preferences and what good looks like from your feedback over time.[4] |
| Approvals | Bash plans in the open before anything runs, and you watch every step. Pick a permission mode, from asking before each action to running freely. Payments, deletes and anything public are held until you say go.[3][10] | Custom Rules let you allow an action, require approval or block it. Auto-review checks some actions, like sending an email, before they run.[12][13] |
| Where you use it | Mac and web, plus Slack, WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage or Gmail. Phone calls on Pro and up. The result comes back in the same place.[3][14] | ChatGPT on web, mobile and desktop, plus Microsoft Teams. Slack and voice calls work in both. Texting is a limited beta for Pro users in the US.[12][5] |
| Recurring and background work | Routines run on a schedule, or when something happens in a connected tool, like a support email arriving. Vestra also starts work before you ask, such as prep that is ready before a meeting.[15][16] | Researches in the background and runs reminders and recurring tasks you schedule.[5] |
| Seeing and fixing what’s in Brain | Brain keeps a page for every person, project, customer and decision, each one editable. Correct it once and every future task uses it.[11] | Forms its own memories. You can’t view, delete or directly change them one by one. Deleting them means resetting the dot, which also deletes chats and scheduled tasks.[13][5] |
| App connections | 4,000+ integrations. Connectors link Bash to tools like Stripe, your CRM, Google Drive, your database and Slack. It reads the real numbers and updates the real records, with your permission.[17] | Also 4,000+ apps, through plugins. Plugin permissions are shared with ChatGPT, ChatGPT Work and Codex.[4][13] |

A Business workspace needs at least two seats in total, Standard or Premium.[7] Enterprise workspaces can try dots once an admin turns them on.[5] Credits and allowances are different units, so plan prices don’t show the cost of each task.
Yes. Message Bash, your Chief AI Officer, in any of them. From Gmail, mail your task to bash@vestra.ai.[3] The result comes back in the same place, and in Slack you can start a task from a thread without leaving it.[14] Both products work in Slack. OpenAI Dot also works in ChatGPT and Microsoft Teams.[12] Texting a dot is a limited beta for Pro users in the US.[5]
Yes. Brain is Vestra’s memory, and Bash, your Chief AI Officer, and its specialists all draw on it. It keeps a page for every person, project, customer and decision, and each one is editable. Correct a page once and every future task uses your correction. You can view, edit or delete anything in it.[11] With OpenAI Dot, you can’t view, delete or directly change individual memories. Deleting them means deleting the dot.[13]
Bring your source files, written instructions and examples of finished work, then reconnect the tools you need. Write down what you want Vestra to know, because you can’t view a dot’s memories one by one.[13] Save the processes you want to keep as Abilities and routines. Start with one familiar task so you can check the result against how you already work.
Sign up and start with 1,000 free credits. Connect the tools you need and give Bash, your Chief AI Officer, your first outcome. Plans start at $19 a month.[2]
