Roberto P. Nickson's Dot caught a contract paperwork mix-up and graded his video edit

Big news for @ChatGPT! OpenAI just launched dots, always-on agents powered by GPT-6 Astra. You can give a your dot a goal, and it can keep working on it in the background. Each dot has its own cloud computer and browser, can connect to the apps you choose, and can handle multiple projects at once. The part I find most exciting is that it can take initiative. A dot can notice when something needs attention, look into it, and come back with progress or a question when it needs your input. It also learns from your feedback, so it gets a better sense of how you like things done. And you can actually call your dot, which is a pretty surreal experience. Coming soon, you can also reach your dot through iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, or Teams, and it keeps the context across those conversations. You can check what it’s doing at any time and set rules for which actions need your approval. What’s the first project you’d give your dot?

Disclosure: the post's caption carries a #ChatGPT_Partner tag (sponsored partnership). In the video, creator Roberto P. Nickson (@rpn, verified, 980K followers) describes first-hand early-access results from his own Dot: it proactively noticed a contract paperwork mix-up in his documents and later graded his video edit, automatically treating the audio and making the cuts he requested. The video also shows his Dot monitoring his calendar and suggesting dinner options via message, and making a phone call to complete a tennis club registration while he was cooking.

Real caption: "Dots just gave Astra its own virtual computer, bringing you an always on ai agent @chatgpt #chatgpt_partner". In the reel, Chase AI assigns his Dot (named "Winston") a lead-intake project: inquiries from multiple sources consolidated into one system. The video shows Winston confirming the build, screen recordings of the virtual desktop at work, the built "Lead Intake" dashboard (sample leads like Grace Kim, Elliot Reed, Priya Shah), and the app being deployed live after the creator's go-ahead.

Recebi acesso antecipado e testei os dots antes do lançamento oficial, que aconteceu hoje! 👀 É como ter um "agente que não dorme": seu dot trabalha de forma proativa e pode continuar avançando nas tarefas entre uma conversa e outra, dentro dos acessos e das permissões que você define. Ele pesquisa, organiza informações, acompanha pendências, prepara materiais e te avisa quando encontra algo importante ou precisa de uma decisão sua. E, pelo ecossistema de plugins, pode se conectar a mais de 4.000 aplicativos. Você escolhe quais conectar e quais informações compartilhar. A liberação está acontecendo de forma gradual para planos Pro e Business Premium, mas logo deve ser liberado no plano Plus tbm! Como já estou testando há alguns dias, preparei um guia com: • O passo a passo para acessar e configurar seu dot • O que funcionou nos meus testes e o que ainda precisa melhorar • Dicas de tarefas para pedir e como aproveitar melhor essa novidade Comenta DOTS para receber o guia! 👇 E compartilha com quem precisa conhecer essa nova forma de trabalhar com IA!

OpenAI Dots - I Tested It on Day One

OpenAI Dots - I Tested It on Day One

OpenAI Dots launched today, and this is a hands-on OpenAI Dots review: I gave a dot three real jobs to see what it actually does after you walk away. The free starter kit (the 4 rules and my 3 prompts) is below. Dots are OpenAI's new always-on agents in ChatGPT. Each one gets its own computer in the cloud, remembers what you're working on, connects to your apps, and only comes back when it needs you. Instead of judging it on the launch demo, I tested it on work people actually do: • Job 1: find the money and deadlines hiding in an inbox (invoices, renewals, forms) • Job 2: turn one of my real videos into posts and clips, graded against what I actually published • Job 3: three fake emails sent to my own test inbox, to see whether an email can trick it You'll see how setup works, the custom rules that decide what a dot can do on its own, where it's genuinely useful, where it falls short, and a 4-question test for whether it's worth paying for. About the test: the inbox is a test account I set up and seeded for this video. The invoices and amounts in it are test values, not my real earnings, and the fake emails were sent by me to my own inbox. Facts from OpenAI's launch: Dots run on GPT-6 Astra, connect to 4,000+ apps, need a ChatGPT Pro plan, are 18+ only, aren't available yet in the EU, UK or Switzerland, and are rolling out over several days. 🧰 FREE STARTER KIT The 4 custom rules (Settings → Personalization → Permissions → Custom rules): 1. Sending any email or message → Ask before taking action 2. Paying, buying or entering card details → Hand off to you 3. Sharing my address, phone number or ID → Hand off to you 4. Reading, sorting, drafting and research → Take action without asking The 3 prompts: 1. Inbox sweep: "Go through my inbox and find anything I've forgotten that costs me money or a deadline. For each one, tell me what it is, the date or amount, and what I should do. Draft any follow-ups, but don't send anything." 2. Content: "Here's the transcript of one of my videos. Find the strongest moments and explain why each works. Then write a YouTube description, three LinkedIn posts and five short-video ideas in my style. Don't publish anything." 3. Weekly check (a saved schedule): "Every Monday at 9 AM [your time zone], check my inbox and calendar for unpaid invoices, renewals in the next 14 days, and deadlines this week. Message me only if something needs a decision. Confirm the schedule.
