Dot proactively flagged a 30-day cancellation deadline

added

OpenAIのdotsを導入して、設定中にびっくり。突然「このサービス、解約期限は30日ですが、手続きは済んでいますか?」と仕事の確認が来ました。こういう期限まで気にかけてくれるなら、忙しいときに助かりそう。まだ使い始めですが、これは使えるかも😃 #ChatGPT #AI活用

First-hand post (Japanese, @kensakuedison, Oct 1 2026): during setup of OpenAI's Dots, his Dot unprompted asked whether he'd completed the procedure for a service with a 30-day cancellation deadline — proactively watching work deadlines with zero prompting. Translation: 'I installed OpenAI dots and was surprised during setup. Suddenly it asked me about work: This service has a 30-day cancellation deadline — have you completed the procedure? If it watches deadlines like this, it could help when I'm busy.'

My "dot" just built me a list of 500 highly targeted sales leads. It should be finished with the whole country by tomorrow. This is worth thousands of dollars.

If you haven't tried out "dots" yet, this is another one of those "*AI* won't take your job, *someone who knows how to use* *AI better than you* will take your job" moments. It's got its own little computer, so you can kind of see what's going on (picture at the end). It seems to work in spurts, but I'm entirely sure what it's doing. For the last 5 hours, it's been building me a sales leads list. Now, I'm in an industry where everybody has a website. But there are a lot of industries like that nowadays... I know the data is good, because I just paid for a list like this, so I have one to compare it against. Frankly, my dot's list is much better. I paid $223 and change for about 350 leads. In the last 5 hours, my dot has put together 1,400 leads. I'm expecting the final to be around 3,500 leads, based on what geographic areas it has covered so far and what I'm asking it to cover (20 largest metro areas). That's enough for me for now. I was, not too long ago, seriously considering paying upwards of $4,000 for a nationwide list of my prospects. Not that seriously, but I thought I might have to do it at some point. So this new tool has saved me a lot of money. And that's only half the story here. Because, that nationwide list would have had 15,000 businesses on it. And frankly, a lot of the 350 leads are junk. There are probably fewer than 200 high value targets on that list, and that's being somewhat optimistic. Because my dot is building the list, I was able to tell it to identify only specific types of businesses in my industry, rather than getting the whole NAIC code (or inevitably fail when trying to filter by NAIC subclass, due to inaccurate and incomplete data). I can tell already that it's worth calling these leads. It's well-organized, rather than being an amalgamation of decades' worth of legacy recordkeeping systems, and it's current.
