My Dot proactively reminded me to taper my ad spend

The new AI agent Dot from OpenAI came out yesterday, and it already blew my mind today. It noticed I had a reminder in my calendar to reduce the ad spend on a campaign i'm running. So it cross checked that with my meeting transcripts and hit me up this morning to make sure I followed through. And it linked me to the transcript so I could remind myself of the details. I didn't ask it to do this, it just did it on its own.

Andrew Southworth (verified Threads) on Sep 30, 2026: his new OpenAI Dot noticed a calendar reminder to reduce ad spend on a campaign, cross-checked it with his meeting transcripts, and messaged him that morning — unprompted — to make sure he followed through, linking the relevant transcript. Attached screenshot shows the Dot's actual message: 'In your September 24 call, you set September 29 as the reminder to taper near $3,000 spent.' First-hand proactive-agency result; no sponsored tag.

Day-one Dots test: gave it one line, it found a $450 unpaid invoice

Day-one Dots test: gave it one line, it found a $450 unpaid invoice

I tested OpenAI Dots, the new ChatGPT agent that works while you're away 💸 One line: "Find anything I've forgotten that costs me money or a deadline. Don't send anything." Then I shut the laptop. It came back with an unpaid $450 invoice (34 days overdue), a follow-up already drafted, and it asked before sending ✅ That was job 1. Job 2 was my content. Job 3 was fake emails built to trick it 🎣 Full review + the 4 setup rules I use → link in bio Would you hand an AI agent your inbox?

My Dot tracks my AI subscriptions and flags wasted spend

Comment "dots" for a link to try it out! OpenAI just announced dots at DevDay, always-on agents inside ChatGPT that can keep working on an ongoing responsibility and come back when something needs your attention. Powered by GPT-6 Astra, dots have their own computer and use the context you share and the apps you connect to keep work moving between conversations. The responsibility I handed over is keeping track of subscriptions, comparing overlapping tools, and catching potential wasted spend before the next renewal. You choose its access and set approval boundaries, including which actions require your permission. What ongoing responsibility will you give your dots?
