How it differs from Mates

One always-on dot per ChatGPT user today; Mates gives a team several named mates, each with its own computer and email address.

dots vs Mates, in full

Where dots is ahead

It lives in ChatGPT, which your team may already use, with Slack, Teams and mobile included.
A very large plugin catalogue: 4,000+ apps.
Fine-grained rules per action: act, act if pre-approved, ask first, or hand off to you.

Where Mates is ahead

Several mates, each with its own job, computer and memory, today rather than announced.
Mates work together in group chats and hand work to each other.
Each mate can have its own email address; a dot can't.
