OpenAI Dots in Europe: Why It's Not Available and the Best Alternative

By Delos Intelligence — 2026-09-30

OpenAI Dots isn't available in Europe yet. Here's why, what Dots does, and the GDPR-ready alternative European teams can use today.

OpenAI has launched Dots, always-on AI agents that connect to your apps and act on your behalf. If you're based in the EU, you've probably noticed you can't use it yet. This guide explains what Dots is, why it isn't available in Europe, and which alternative European companies can deploy today.

What is OpenAI Dots?

Dots are persistent AI agents that run inside ChatGPT. They connect to email, calendar and business apps, and take initiative on tasks instead of waiting for a prompt. Rather than a chatbot you open when you need an answer, a Dot keeps running in the background, watches for triggers, and acts.

Access requires a Pro or Business Premium plan. Once enabled, a Dot can read your inbox, draft replies, update your calendar and reach into the tools you connect.

Is OpenAI Dots available in Europe?

Not at launch. Users across the EU report that Dots is unavailable in their region. OpenAI has not published a detailed explanation, but agents that read emails and act inside company tools raise real questions under the GDPR and the EU AI Act — and several OpenAI products have historically launched later in Europe for similar reasons.

If you're in France, Germany, Spain, Italy or anywhere in the EU and the feature is greyed out or missing, you're not doing anything wrong: it simply hasn't rolled out to your region yet.

Why AI agents are harder to launch in the EU

Autonomous agents are a different risk category from a chatbot, and European regulation treats them accordingly:

Data access: agents read your most sensitive data — emails, contracts, financial records — not just a single question you typed.
GDPR: data location, a clear legal basis for processing, and the right to audit what the agent did and why.
EU AI Act: transparency obligations and human-oversight requirements for systems that act autonomously.
Vendor lock-in: one US model running on one US cloud concentrates both compliance and continuity risk.

None of this makes agents impossible in Europe. It means they have to be built for Europe from the start, rather than shipped globally and localised later.

The best OpenAI Dots alternative for Europe

Delos Workers are AI employees built in Paris and hosted in Europe. Instead of a blank assistant you have to configure, each Worker arrives job-ready for a specific role — Legal, Sales, Finance and more — with its own email, phone and calendar, and it runs on EU infrastructure under the GDPR.

What can a Delos Worker do?

Contract review — Legal. Hand Victoria, your Legal Worker, an NDA or a supplier contract. She flags unbalanced clauses, missing liability caps and non-standard termination terms, then returns a plain-language summary with the exact clauses to renegotiate.

Prospect follow-up — Sales. Laura, your Sales Worker, keeps your pipeline warm: she tracks who hasn't replied, drafts context-aware follow-ups from her own inbox, and books meetings straight into her calendar — without you chasing anyone manually.

Invoice processing — Finance. Jeanne, your Finance Worker, reads incoming invoices, matches them against purchase orders, reconciles them in Qonto and Pennylane, and flags anything that doesn't add up before it becomes a problem.

FAQ

Will OpenAI Dots come to Europe? Possibly, but no date has been announced. Availability may change once the GDPR and EU AI Act requirements around autonomous agents are addressed.

Can I use Dots with a VPN? Not recommended for company data. Routing around a regional restriction to process personal or business data breaks your GDPR compliance and shifts the legal risk onto you.

Is there a GDPR-compliant alternative to Dots? Yes. Delos Workers are hosted in Europe, are model-agnostic, and are built to meet GDPR and EU AI Act requirements.

How much does a Dots alternative cost? Delos Workers start at €50/month per Worker — no Pro or Business Premium plan required.
