Simurg vs OpenAI Dots. One dot, or a whole team.
The short answer
A dot is an always-on agent inside ChatGPT. It keeps working on your projects between conversations and brings the results back for review. It comes with ChatGPT Pro, from $120 a month, and with Business Premium seats, and each person gets one. Simurg starts free and gives a business a whole team of specialists, with its own tables, shared knowledge and routines. If you want ChatGPT to keep working on your projects, that is a dot. If you want a business run, that is Simurg.

Start free, then $29 a month. Hire the agents you need and pay for the work they do, in credits you can see.
A specialist for each job.
Sales, support and finance are different agents with different skills, so nobody is asked to be good at everything.
Tables that fill themselves.
Leads, tickets and invoices are real records your agents keep up to date, not pages you have to read through.
Memory you can correct.
Every note an agent keeps is there to read, pin or delete. Tell it "remember this" and it becomes a lasting rule.
Knowledge, folder by folder.
One shared knowledge base, with a switch per agent. Each job reads what it needs, and notes that look out of date get flagged.

Which one is for you?
Choose OpenAI Dots if

Choose Simurg if
You run a business, and the same jobs come back every week across sales, support and the books.
Can you use both?
Yes. Keep ChatGPT for thinking and writing, and give the repeating work to your agents. With your own OpenAI key on Growth or Scale, they can run on OpenAI's models too.
