I Tried ChatGPT Dots: Setup, Voice Calls & Real Tasks
added
I set up my first ChatGPT dot, threw a bunch of tasks at it, called it twice, and my usage still showed 94% at the end of this test. Amazon blocked its browser. The DevDay infographic pulled in my branding without me asking. A pretty interesting first run. I named it Roger, found out it had a female voice, and renamed it Dolly. Then I gave it an infographic, an electricity research task, a Times Square restaurant search, and a cat toy search while I poked around its cloud computer. You get the setup, the calls, and the bits that worked or got stuck. I want to see how much work I can hand this thing over the next 30 days. The routine suggestions were useful: meeting prep, open-loop follow-ups, and filtering AI news. I'm going to try it on the work already taking up my day. ⚙️ TRAIN WITH ASPI https://goaspi.com 🧠 JOIN OPERATOR INTELLIGENCE https://www.skool.com/operator-intelligence ✍️ READ THE WRITTEN STUFF https://johnaspinallsr.substack.com 📬 EMAIL ME john@goaspi.com 0:00 OpenAI DevDay and ChatGPT dots 0:44 Where your dot lives: Codex vs ChatGPT 1:25 Creating a dot 2:14 Customizing the avatar 4:30 Roger's cloud computer 5:40 Calling my dot 7:12 Renaming it Dolly 8:29 The dot guide and limits 9:14 Firing off tasks in parallel 11:55 Amazon blocks the dot 13:09 Second call: what are you working on? 13:58 Results and the DevDay infographic 14:25 10 automations it suggested 15:15 Verdict
John Aspinall set up his first ChatGPT Dot ('Dolly,' renamed from 'Roger'), threw real tasks at it — an infographic that pulled in his branding unasked, an electricity research task, a Times Square restaurant search, and a cat toy search — and called it twice, ending the test with 94% usage remaining. First-hand day-2 test with setup walkthrough; honest friction noted (Amazon blocked the Dot's browser).
