Saanora Moons vs ChatGPT dots
ChatGPT dots are OpenAI's always-on agents inside ChatGPT, each with a cloud computer of its own, that take on ongoing work. Saanora Moons are always-on agents powered by Mark: each takes a job, keeps working on its own computer, and asks before anything that matters. Here's how they compare.
