OpenAI announced Dots always-on agents at its 2026 DevDay on September 28. The agents will ship for Pro, Business Premium and Enterprise users, and integrate with over 4000 applications.[^5]

Dots agents retain context from prior interactions, preferences and decisions. They can continue operating while a user is not actively interacting with them.[^3]

Amazon Web Services also announced three new developer tools for AI interfaces this week: the AG-UI protocol, Strands Agents SDK and Amazon Nova Act.[^2] Bloomberg launched Enterprise MCP, a standard access layer that allows client AI agents to query over 100 million securities and 50,000 data fields.[^4]

Anthropic paid approximately $351 million in distribution fees to Amazon and Google in 2025. This equals 16 cents per dollar of sales routed through their platforms.[^1]
