Episode description as stored
Tibo Sottiaux leads ChatGPT and Codex at OpenAI. Under his stewardship, OpenAI has shipped some of its most consequential consumer launches: Codex, ChatGPT Work, and most recently, the new Dots personal agent platform. He joined me at DevDay, hours after his team launched more than 20 new products, to talk about where things are heading. We discuss: 1. Dots, OpenAI’s new personal AI assistant 2. Why most actions on the internet will soon be taken by agents 3. Why loops, graphs, and fine-tuning agent workflows are a passing phase 4. Which skills are trending up and down in the AI era 5. How Tibo’s Dot warned him about a production outage five minutes before the launch 6.
