I’ll work with you 1:1 for four weeks. 24 live hours, plus the full resource pack. US$1,000, paid once. OpenAI launched Dots on September 29. An always-on AI agent with its own cloud computer, memory of your work, and the ability to keep going after you close the chat. You can give it a name. Change its eyes. Add glasses. We have reached the part of the AI timeline where your to-do list gets a Tamagotchi. The useful bit is that it can carry work forward. Research something, prepare a document, keep a project moving. Come back with new instructions without explaining the whole thing again. You can even call it. I like that. I'd rather explain a job once than become the full-time onboarding manager for a chatbot. But the funniest part of this launch is outside ChatGPT. Type dot.com into your browser. You land on Grok Bot. Yes, Elon's. TechCrunch reports that Musk's xAI owns the domain. Whether it was bought to troll OpenAI isn't confirmed. Either way, OpenAI brought the dots. Elon got the dot-com. That's an impressive amount of comedy from one missing “s”. Give your dot one boring job Pick a project that currently lives across meeting notes, email threads and your memory. Share its latest brief and notes, then try this: Make a project follow-up list with each action, owner, deadline and source. Mark anything you cannot confirm. When I share new notes, update the same list and explain what changed. Draft follow-ups for my review, but don't send them. Then give it the next meeting's notes. That's where the interesting test begins. Did it catch the deadline that moved? Keep the earlier decisions straight? Leave an unknown owner blank instead of confidently volunteering someone? An impressive first checklist is easy to like. A checklist that stays accurate after three messy meetings is something I might actually rely on. Count the time you spend correcting it, too. Ten minutes saved and twenty minutes of cleanup is a new hobby. You can try the first checklist in ordinary ChatGPT. With Dots, the extra thing to test is whether it keeps the ongoing work useful as new information arrives. Dots is rolling out gradually to eligible Pro, Business Premium and Enterprise accounts, with plan and regional conditions. Enterprise access needs an admin to enable it. If it needs chasing every morning, I'm naming mine “Just circling back.” P.S. I’m opening 1:1 Codex Mastery: a four-week programme with me. We’ll meet for two hours every Monday, Wednesday and Friday: 12 sessions and 24 live hours. US$1,000, paid once, covers the full programme, guided practice, project reviews and the resource pack. Start dates and session times are arranged individually. See the full 12-session curriculum . Harshith
