My Dot reconciled the budget file's remittance section against Wise records

Here’s me giving my Dot the kind of direction a human coworker might get: “The answer should be somewhere in that spreadsheet.” 🤖😅 I pointed it toward the budget file and its remittance section, but didn’t tell it how to solve the problem. The AI found the relevant data, checked the fees against the Wise records, reconciled the discrepancy, and came back with the answer. Meanwhile, it was also finishing a separate calendar assignment I’d given it earlier. What I especially liked was that, after finding the missing context, it acknowledged that its earlier assumption had been wrong. Increasingly, this feels less like giving a computer instructions and more like giving a capable coworker a clue and letting them take it from there. 🤖🧐

First-hand result from @softypapa (Kurt Bell): he gave his Dot a vague coworker-style direction — “the answer should be somewhere in that spreadsheet” — pointing it at the budget file's remittance section without explaining how to solve it. The Dot found the relevant data, checked fees against Wise records, reconciled the discrepancy, admitted its earlier assumption had been wrong, and meanwhile finished a separate calendar assignment he had given it earlier.
