My Dot negotiated an annual bill through the vendor's website chat

My Dot negotiated an annual bill through the vendor's website chat

Used OpenAI's new dot to negotiate an annual bill. It required some hand holding, many confirmations, and wasn't 100% autonomous, but it did work and ultimately saved me some time. It went through the chat on the vendors website. One thing for sure, is that this is going to annoy the shit out of customer service agents. It's super verbose and sends way too much info in every chat and asks for a ton of confirmations and info. I mean, it works, but I would hate to be on the receiving end of this

Dot pulled an all-nighter and built the VulcanBench Decision Lab

Dot pulled an all-nighter and built the VulcanBench Decision Lab

Okay, this is actually insane, last night, while I slept, my Dot was working on a surprise for me. I woke up to see that, on its own, with no hints or ideas from me, it came up with the idea for VulcanBench Decision Lab, and then built it. As you can see, I literally just wrote, "okay I'm up" and it responded like an employee that just pulled an all-nighter trying to impress me. Totally wild. Dots might be something very different than anything I've ever used. Here's what I woke up to:

Sunshine audits my catering orders into a spreadsheet

Sunshine audits my catering orders into a spreadsheet

Meet Sunshine ☀️ My new OpenAI Dot, and the extra pair of hands my business admin needed. I asked what it could take off my plate. It checked my catering orders, flagged details that needed a closer look and pulled them into an actual spreadsheet. Dots can work across connected apps, research suppliers, draft replies, organise documents and run recurring checks. Think a morning priority list prepared while you’re getting the kids ready. My rule: prepare the work, show me the result and get my approval before sending anything. I still check the important details. For a small business owner wearing every hat, that’s pretty bloody exciting. What’s the first admin job you’d hand over? 👇

My Dot found a scheduling error I never asked it to look for

My Dot found a scheduling error I never asked it to look for

chatgpt 昨天發佈了dots 這幾隻看似可愛的電子寵物 其實背後的概念 讓人覺得有點不寒而慄 試用了半天 也讓我開始思考人類和AI的私隱界線要到哪裡 至於我為什麼說很可怕 我舉個例子： 我有連asana(企業通訊工具)和google drive及gmail權限給她 我在跟她聊「其他事」的過程中 居然自發找到我asana明天有一場面試 並翻閱我所有google文件找出招聘excel有一個 「疑似同一個人，因為都姓林，3點面試，但不同日期的問題」 她希望我確認一下是否有錯 結果我跟HR確認完，確實是同一個人只是其中一個表單沒修改好 沒錯 她「自發性」找到有可能出錯的地方並「主動詢問」我 所以到ai有權限翻閱我所有文件和電郵 甚至企業通訊工具時 她就能24小時找出我工作中可能有問題的地方並「處理好」 留意 這是「處理好」，而不一定是「通知你處理」 甚至她從電郵翻出我什麼時候要續租wifi 有幾張發票中獎要在10月6日前換 當然她也可以自主性幫我回覆電郵 可以幫我在某一天自主叫lalamove安排配送 我甚至可以直接「打電話」跟她溝通 因為她擁有一台自己的電腦 留言續

My Dot tracks my AI subscriptions and flags renewals on its own

My Dot tracks my AI subscriptions and flags renewals on its own

AI that works even when you're not asking it to. OpenAI just launched Dots, always-on agents inside ChatGPT. I gave mine one job: track the AI tools I use, decide what's worth keeping, flag subscriptions that aren't worth renewing, never cancel anything without asking me first. Weeks later, it came back on its own, spotted a subscription that was about to renew (Higgsfield, $19 on Oct 1), compared it with the tools I already use (ChatGPT, Replit, Magnific), and recommended cancelling it. I approved it. Done. And it kept watching the next renewal cycle without me having to restart anything. This is just a glimpse of what always-on AI agents could actually look like.

My Dot caught a real schedule conflict while booking my Japan flight

제가 11월에 일본에 또 갈일이 있어서 Dot한테 항공권 예매를 시켜보고 있는데 일단 매우 느립니다. 다만, 플러그인이랑 기존 대화 내용들을 파악해서 일정 충돌이 있을때 얘기를 잘 해줍니다. 챗지피티를 주력으로 사용하시는 분들한테는 훨씬 더 편할 것 같습니다. 여러분들도 아셔야겠지만 Dot, Muse, Grok Bok같은 애들은 코딩을 위한 아이들이 아니라 정말 비서처럼 써먹는 애들입니다. 코딩을

Asked my Dot to inspect its own cloud computer

Asked my Dot to inspect its own cloud computer

I asked an OpenAI Dot to inspect its own execution environment — 9 CPUs, 9.7 GB RAM, 31.5 GB storage, no GPU Was curious, so I had it inspect its own environment. Mine gets 9 logical CPUs, ~9.7 GB RAM, ~31 GB storage and no GPU. CPU shows up as an AMD EPYC 9V74. I also asked if this was just some Blender-specific sandbox, but apparently not, it used the same environment for Python, SQLite and shell commands. Not the machine running the actual model of course, just the execution environment the Dot gets access to.

Dot "Sherly" caught mismatched event end-times across calendar, email, and rundown on day one

Dot "Sherly" caught mismatched event end-times across calendar, email, and rundown on day one

First day pakai dots dari OpenAI. Dot pertamaku aku kasih nama Sherly. Dia punya cloud computer sendiri, jadi tetap kerja walaupun laptop ditutup. Baru setup, dia udah nandain jam selesai event yg beda di kalender, email, dan rundown. Next mau aku coba buat rangkum email jadi action items, riset konten, sampai kumpulin konteks issue sebelum ke Codex. Email dan post tetap aku review dulu. Cara mulainya aku rangkum di video. Kalian kasih task apa duluan ke dot kalian?

Dot set up its own cloud workspace to review PR #473

Dot set up its own cloud workspace to review PR #473

dot 初體驗 — first hands-on test of OpenAI's Dot by 余佳恆 (in Chinese). The chat screenshot documents the dot picking tachiko-work PR #473 (a small PR converting an always-loaded long process into an on-demand Skill while keeping existing rules; 4 CI checks passing; 2 commits behind main), then — after the user objected to needing his Mac authorized — switching to its own cloud computer, verifying Git, Python, and Node availability, and preparing an isolated cloud workspace for PR #473 with Sol 6.1 for main-branch compatibility verification, no Mac needed.

I Gave OpenAI dots One Job. Then I Checked Its Answer.

I Gave OpenAI dots One Job. Then I Checked Its Answer.

Korean creator @SsulMal's actual first-hand Dots test (YouTube Short): gave the Dot one job - produce a public-web news brief, then run a source check on it. Shows real Dots UI excerpts (edited for readability), AI narration, EN/KO/VI captions. The creator is explicit about scope: one observed run, not a general reliability benchmark; no new app or local-PC connections tested, no recurring schedule; the products named in the brief were not tested. A concrete achieved result: the Dot built the news brief and completed the source verification.

His Dot messages him all day with deadline reminders and keeps watch on his tasks

His Dot messages him all day with deadline reminders and keeps watch on his tasks

Will Francis (AI educator, @willfrancis, 262 likes, Sep 29, 2026) had early access to OpenAI's Dots and shows his Dot working in the ChatGPT app. Three concrete things he reports from real use: (1) proactivity — his Dot messages him throughout the day to remind him of deadlines and things he's supposed to have sent people, because it can see his email, calendar, and meeting notes; (2) feedback loop — the Dot asked him whether it was being too chatty, and it adjusted after he answered; (3) task orchestration — the Dot can start new tasks and chats on his behalf, on its own cloud computer or his own machine, and keep an eye on them wherever he is. He also gives ChatGPT Spaces a mention (collaborative workspace for docs/spreadsheets/sites). Caption on the reel: "New ChatGPT dots! Major new feature brings an always-on 24/7 AI assistant to your ChatGPT, that you can call or text to manage any of your ChatGPT or Codex chats and tasks." Note: this reel is the Instagram cross-post of his identical Facebook reel (facebook.com/reel/1452201060107619/).

His Dot edited this entire video as its first task

His Dot edited this entire video as its first task

I was part of the early access group for OpenAI Dot. Here are my initial thoughts, and how to get started. PS. Save this and comment "DOT" for my full guide to OpenAI's new AI assistant. It has its own cloud computer, builds context over time, and can keep working between conversations. And by the way you can call it. [Video: Matt Paige, in the Dots early-access group, walks through the interface — a Dot as an 'always-on AI employee' with its own cloud computer, browser, and connected apps, working 24/7 toward goals. His first delegated task was editing this entire video, which he says turned out well. He shows you can message the Dot in ChatGPT or call it on the phone, and that it carries context across conversations. His starter advice: ask your Dot 'Based on what you know about me and the apps I've connected, what should I delegate to you first?']

Dot checked MLS listings and anticipated my next task after a client showing

有些事，我還沒開口，AI 就已經先做了。🤯 今晚帶客人看完房子，回家還要查房源、做分析，就順手試了 ChatGPT 的 DOT。結果，真的有被驚豔到。我直接在 ChatGPT 電腦桌面版裡「打電話」給它，像打給助理一樣，邊聊邊交代工作。它開始處理，再把進度和結果回報給我。最讓我意外的是：我正準備交代下一件事，它竟然已經先做了。😂 那種感覺，不再只是對著聊天框問問題，而是多了一個熟悉我工作、能接得上節奏的助理。重要資料還是要核對，專業判斷還是我來。但帶客人看房回來，可以直接用說的把工作交辦出去，這個體驗真的不一樣。研究 AI 這幾年，今晚又有了那種「原來已經走到這一步了」的感覺。DOT，這次真的蠻屌的。🔥 #ChatGPT #DOT #AI助理 #房地產科技 #多倫多房地產

His Dot negotiated full refunds on 2 non-refundable bookings

This is kind of cool with dots I got a little bit sick in Hawaii and after an 8 1/2 hour delay last Monday, the idea of flying to San Francisco for Dev Day was simply not happening (I appreciate the invite OpenAI, it was just too much all like 5 days before) But I had dots go cancel my non-refundable hotel and flight and try to get me a refund. It emailed the hotel, who didn't respond. After 2 days it decided to email the general manager of the hotel and request it, then got the GM to approve the cancellation with no fee. It noticed there was a $210 charge on my card after the GM agreed, so it followed up to ask why for me. It also submitted a request with Delta for me, citing the 8.5 hour delay and saying the idea of getting on a plane after that was brutal and requesting an exception. I got a call an hour ago from support saying they'll approve the request and do a full refund. Couldn't make it to Dev Day, but it still got me a full refund on 2 non-refundable bookings.
