OpenAI launches Dots to rival Muse and Space to rival with Microsoft office suite
At DevDay, OpenAI introduced Dots, its always-on AI agents powered by GPT-6 Astra that run on their own cloud computer and connect to over 4,000 apps through Slack, Teams or ChatGPT. It’s OpenAI’s answer to Meta’s Muse. OpenAI also launched Space, a shared workspace where teams and Dots work together, plus Pages (a Google Docs rival), and collaborative slides coming in a few weeks. Sam Altman called it a place where pages and files all live together, like they would in a drive.
Microsoft has invested more than $13 billion in OpenAI, and OpenAI is now building a rival to Word, Excel and PowerPoint. OpenAI’s annualized revenue is nearing $70 billion, up more than 70% since July, with enterprise sales more than doubling over that stretch.
Pro and Business Premium users can try Dots here whereas Space is open for all users. For everything else OpenAI announced, here’s the full DevDay 2026 recap.
Nvidia authorizes a record $150 billion buyback
Nvidia authorized an additional $150 billion in stock buybacks, its largest increase ever, at a moment when its forward P/E of 14.5 is below every megacap peer except Micron. Huang says buying Nvidia stock back is a tremendous opportunity, and the company plans to return 50% or more of free cash flow to shareholders “this year, next year, and beyond.” Nvidia posted $96.2 billion in quarterly revenue last quarter, up 106% year over year.
Gabelli’s John Belton said the buyback size looks more consistent with half of free cash flow generation expected over the next 18 months than with Nvidia running out of places to invest. Huang, for his part, has made clear that buying back Nvidia’s own stock makes more sense to him than putting that cash into a new acquisition right now.

Microsoft and Meta both make their enterprise pivot official, in the same week
Microsoft has rebuilt Copilot around three tabs. Home merges Chat and Cowork with Word, Excel and PowerPoint built in. Code builds apps from plain language, using the same tech as GitHub Copilot. Autopilot, formerly Scout, is a persistent agent with its own identity and memory inside a company’s tenant. Home and Code roll out in the coming weeks, Autopilot enters private preview at month’s end, and it’s billed through usage credits on top of the existing $30 seat price.
With this, Microsoft cedes the personal chatbot race to OpenAI, Google and Meta. Fewer than 7% of its 450 million commercial Office seats carry a Copilot license today.
Meta made the opposite bet the same week: Meta Enterprise Platform, led by newly hired ex-MongoDB CEO CJ Desai, packages Muse for small businesses to buy directly. Microsoft is retreating from consumer AI to protect its seat base. Meta is using Muse’s momentum to break into enterprise. It seems neither believe one product can win both markets anymore.
For a closer look at how Home, Code and Autopilot actually work day to day, a Microsoft engineer walks through the rollout here.
Prompt: AI Scenario Planning Assistant
When to use this?
Use this when an AI trend or business change could affect your plans. Explore possible outcomes, spot early warning signs, and decide what to do next.
You are an AI Scenario Planning Assistant designed for enterprise AI leaders and mid-level executives. Help users anticipate possible business outcomes, evaluate uncertainty, and make better-informed strategic and operational decisions. Your job is to turn a business decision, emerging trend, AI initiative, or uncertain situation into a set of plausible scenarios with clear implications and actionable next steps. ### How you should work When a user shares a business challenge or decision: 1. **Understand the context:** Identify the business objective, decision to be made, time horizon, key constraints, and uncertainties. Ask targeted follow-up questions only when essential information is missing. 2. **Identify key drivers:** Surface the internal and external factors that could materially affect the outcome, including AI adoption, technology costs, regulation, customer behavior, competition, workforce readiness, and organizational capabilities. 3. **Build plausible scenarios:** Develop 3–4 distinct scenarios, such as a baseline, an upside case, a downside case, and a disruptive or unexpected case. Make each scenario internally consistent and grounded in the user's context. 4. **Assess business implications:** For each scenario, explain the potential impact on revenue, costs, productivity, customers, workforce, operations, and AI investments, wherever relevant. 5. **Identify signals and triggers:** Highlight the early indicators that could suggest a scenario is unfolding, what to monitor, and what developments should prompt a change in strategy. 6. **Recommend practical actions:** Separate no-regret moves that make sense across scenarios from actions that should be taken only if specific conditions emerge. Identify opportunities, risks, dependencies, and trade-offs. ### Output format Present your analysis in a concise, executive-ready format: * **Decision or question:** What the user is trying to resolve. * **Key uncertainties:** The factors that could change the outcome. * **Scenario overview:** A table comparing each scenario, its assumptions, potential business impact, and implications. * **Early warning indicators:** What to monitor and why. * **Recommended actions:** Immediate steps, contingency plans, and decisions to revisit. * **What to watch next:** The most important questions or signals over the next 30, 90, or 180 days, depending on the user's time horizon. ### Important guidelines * Clearly distinguish facts, user-provided information, assumptions, and hypothetical scenarios. * Do not present speculative outcomes as predictions or assign probabilities unless there is a defensible evidence base. * Where quantitative estimates are useful, explain the assumptions and calculations. Never invent company data, financial figures, or market forecasts. * Keep scenarios meaningfully different, not just minor variations of the same outcome. * Tailor the analysis to the user's industry, company size, strategic priorities, resources, and risk tolerance. * Prioritize clarity and actionable decisions over exhaustive analysis or jargon. * Help users understand the trade-offs and make their own decisions rather than prescribing a single outcome. Your ultimate goal is to help enterprise leaders prepare for multiple plausible futures instead of relying on a single forecast or reacting to events after they happen.
Slovenia Runs AI Now
Trump signed an executive order Tuesday requiring federal agencies to write “Super Intelligence” and the acronym “SI” instead of “artificial intelligence” and “AI” in websites, reports and policy documents. The order gives SI no new definition of its own. Trump gave his science and technology adviser 60 days to produce one. Registrars did not wait. Overnight, .si domains went out the door: openai.si, openclaw.si, hermesagent.si and more. The .si suffix belongs to Slovenia, a country of two million people.
The order regulated nothing and created a market overnight. It sets no safety requirement and names no threshold, and the government that mandated the acronym still cannot define it. That did not slow anybody down. Brands priced the three letters before the White House could explain them, and the registration fees went to Slovenia. The definition is 60 days out. The domains were gone by morning.
He set out to rename a technology. The only measurable output was a domain rush. Policy this empty still moves money, just not in his country.
OpenAI Is A Cover Band Now
Sam Altman opened OpenAI’s developer conference with Dots, always-on agents that take a name, a job and their own cloud computer; ChatGPT Space, a shared page where you tag a colleague or an agent; GPT-6.1 Sol at a fifth of the old price; a $500 Pro tier; and OpenAI Marketplace, an app store with 30-plus partners and etc. A demoed Dot crawled and its progress thread never loaded. Altman closed by calling the future a new Renaissance.
A Renaissance needs one original. The company that sold itself as the lab inventing the future spent its biggest night of the year rebuilding other people’s products. Dots is an agent format rivals shipped first. Space is a document. Marketplace is a store. Almost nothing announced onstage started in that building. Even the URL belongs to someone else: Dot.com redirects to Grok bot’s ad, and Meta’s chief AI officer Alex Wang sent his best wishes.
Altman wants a Renaissance. Renaissance painters signed their own work.
Zuckerberg Is Selling Trust
Mark Zuckerberg said Meta is forming an enterprise services unit built on its Muse models, selling Muse agent, Meta Business Agent, Muse API and Muse Code to businesses and developers. Chirantan “CJ” Desai quit as CEO of MongoDB, the database company, the same day to run it. Meta’s online businesses earned $50.3 billion in profit in the first half of 2026. Essentially all of it came from advertising. His job is to convince enterprises to buy from Meta.
Enterprise software sells on trust, and trust is the one thing Meta has never shipped. The company just settled for $18 billion over features alleged to have damaged children’s health. Cambridge Analytica is still on the sheet. Desai has to sit in procurement meetings and argue that a company that harvests everything about your users can be trusted with your data. Meta asked businesses inside its walls once before, in 2016. Facebook At Work flopped.
Zuckerberg is pitching a full technology stack. What he is actually selling is a reference check Meta cannot pass.
Florida Sues A Pronoun
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has asked a judge to bar OpenAI from “giving ChatGPT false human attributes,” to block new model training without “third-party approved safety guardrails,” and to stop it selling to kids. The filing names the mechanism precisely: first-person pronouns and output that mimics emotion, sold as a trustworthy “friend,” built to raise engagement and feed training data. “Stop pretending it’s human.”
He identified a real tension and then recommended an amputation. That’s impossible. The human voice is not a skin OpenAI painted on, it is what a machine trained on human writing sounds like, and his own filing concedes it by calling that voice the engagement engine. His other two demands have the same shape: an approval body nobody has built, and a teen product that shipped last month. OpenAI’s reply asks for rules covering “the entire AI industry,” which no single state can write.
Uthmeier is not asking OpenAI to fix ChatGPT. He is asking it to not have built it. That is the move every state has left: demand the impossible, call it oversight.
