How much do ChatGPT dots cost?

Dots come with ChatGPT Pro ($100, $200 or $500 a month) or Business Premium. Your first dot is included at no extra cost. OpenAI hasn't priced extra dots yet. Pro $200 is open to new subscribers again, with a lower usage allowance than before.

Resetting a dot deletes it along with its conversations, memories and scheduled tasks. Disconnecting an app doesn't delete data the dot already got from it.
