I Gave OpenAI's Dots Full Control of My Laptop (Here's What Happened). I gave OpenAI's new Dots agent control of my laptop and browser, then let it draft my emails, send my invoice, and plan a trip.

Ranjan Roy (Margins) pushes back on whether this counts as "enterprise," and then comes the contract twist: one agent refused to sign it, and Dots signed it.
