Can I embed an OpenAI dot on my website?

We found no public option for that (October 2026). Dots are agents that work for ChatGPT subscribers inside ChatGPT, Slack, Teams or by phone. For a mascot that talks to your website visitors, use Minimoes.

Yes. A dot can work for your team internally, while your Minimoes mascot works for your customers on your site, app or stream.

Why give a customer-facing AI a face?

The same reason OpenAI and Meta did. A character makes AI feel approachable and easier to trust and talk to. Research on chatbots links human-like presence with trust and purchase intent.

Minimoes vs OpenAI Dots: an honest comparison

OpenAI Dots and Minimoes solve different problems in different ways, and the right choice depends on what you want your visitors to experience. Minimoes has one clear point of view: your AI should have a face. It is a 3D mascot that speaks and listens, trained only on your content, and able to act. It captures leads, books meetings, answers Shopify and Stripe questions and escalates to humans. It installs with one snippet, on flat monthly plans with a free tier. The table below compares the two on the points that matter most. Competitor prices and features change often. Ours were checked in October 2026, so always confirm on their site before deciding.

Actions built in: leads, booking, Shopify, Stripe, Slack, escalation and webhooks
Deploys on websites, React, React Native and Flutter apps, and OBS livestreams
Free plan, then $29, $149 or $590 per month, with a 14-day trial on paid plans

Where Minimoes is strongest

Presence

A talking character gets noticed where a text bubble gets ignored. A stylized mascot is also unmistakably your brand, and it avoids the uncanny valley of near-human faces.

Accountability

Answers come only from your content. Unanswered questions, missing content and contradictions are flagged. Frustrated visitors are escalated to a human with the full transcript.

Action

Booking, lead capture, Shopify, Stripe, Slack and webhooks are part of the product, triggered by what the mascot detects in the conversation, with no code.

When OpenAI Dots might be the better choice

Be honest about your needs. If you need capabilities that are central to OpenAI Dots and not to Minimoes, such as producing videos, a full human helpdesk inbox or deep custom flows, OpenAI Dots may fit better, or the two can work side by side. If what you want is a branded AI front line that talks, sells and books on your site, app or stream, try Minimoes on the Free plan and compare with real traffic.

OpenAI introduced dots at DevDay on September 29, 2026. They are always-on agents with their own cloud computer, connected to thousands of apps and reachable from ChatGPT, Slack, Teams or by phone. Each one is a colorful character. Reported availability is limited to ChatGPT's top Pro and Business Premium plans (October 2026). Dots work for the subscriber and their team. Minimoes is customer-facing: a 3D mascot on your website, app or stream that answers your visitors, captures leads, books meetings and escalates to your team.
