I Handed My ChatGPT Dot 3 Real Jobs — Here's What It Finished

OpenAI just released Dots, always-on agents that live inside ChatGPT and keep working after you close the chat. In this video, I handed my dot three real jobs and show you what it finished while I was gone, plus what it costs and how it stacks up against Grok Bot and Meta Muse.

Pat Simmons (AI for Mortals) handed his ChatGPT Dot three real jobs and filmed what it actually finished while he was gone: a personal-shopper job, a travel-planner job, and a marathon training dashboard. The Dot even caught a failed payment on its own. Also shown: talking to the Dot in Slack and calling it by phone. First-hand hands-on test, no partner tag.

Mỗi con dot của OpenAI có 1 cái cloud computer, hệ điều hành chắc là linux distro nào đó, nhìn là lạ, mình connect remote control vào dùng được luôn, nhìn cũng hay! (Vietnamese: 'Each OpenAI dot has its own cloud computer, the OS is probably some Linux distro, looks unusual — I connected via remote control and can use it directly, pretty interesting!')

Apparently Dots come with their own computer with preinstalled applications. Since these agents are also running on Astra, and they have several 3D tools already available, I am having Anuki continue iterating on its own 3D body directly in its own environment. I also had it upgrade the Blender install on its computer. Yet another way to get a lot of 3D work done without affecting my usage limits.

My Dot 'Pip' caught me up on my whole morning in 42 minutes while I walked my dogs

Started my day two hours late today, dots caught me almost all the way up in 42 minutes while I walked my dogs. I had a rough night of sleep last night and was randomly awake for two hours in the middle of the night. When my alarm went off this AM I vaguely remember turning it all the way off before sleeping for another 2 hours. It's the beginning of a new month and a new quarter so lots of planning and calendar scheduling. Dots helped me schedule all of my monthly tasks and discussed priorities (it has access to my quarterly SMART goals and tasks from my business coach) while also monitoring another chat that was assembling prospect contact info from online sources and another doing deep research. Next it helped me to create a script using the prospect info and deep research info just before the dog walk finished. All in all by the time the dog walk was finished I was only 30 minutes behind schedule.

Fun note from Tibo at the closing q&a of DevDay: dots get their own Linux cloud computer, and that cloud computer comes preloaded with apps like Blender! I checked with my dot to get a fuller list of the preloaded apps and tools
