KaiMax vs OpenAI Dots
OpenAI Dots are always-on personal agents inside paid ChatGPT plans: each person starts with one dot, and teams of dots are planned for later. KaiMax is built for teams today: you teach an agent once, the whole company shares it, and one plan covers unlimited people in any country.

What makes KaiMax different
Made for teams today
A dot works for one person. KaiMax agents are shared by the team from day one, so the same trained agent does the work for everyone.
No ChatGPT subscription needed
KaiMax is its own product with one company plan. You don't need a premium ChatGPT seat for each person.
Available where you are
KaiMax works worldwide, including the UK and Europe, and you can start in minutes without an admin switching on a beta.
When OpenAI Dots may suit you better
- Everyone on your team already pays for ChatGPT Pro or Business Premium.
- You mainly want one personal agent per person, and you rely on apps only ChatGPT plugins cover.
