Find a useful workflow for whatever your day has in store.
OpenAI's own headline example: a dot that watches feedback and issues for repeat requests, scopes the smallest fix, builds and tests it in Codex, and opens a PR with a recording for you to review.
Give a dot the route, the dates and your target price. It checks in its own browser, keeps the history, and messages you the moment a fare crosses the line.
After each meeting on your calendar, the dot reads the transcript or notes and posts decisions, owners and next steps to you, ready to share.
The first standing job OpenAI suggests for a dot: review the calendar and inbox each morning and send five lines you can act on before the day starts.
Deadlines, exam dates and a four-week revision schedule the dot adjusts when you miss a session, plus reading notes with practice questions and a Sunday summary of what is due.
When a recording's transcript lands, the dot marks the best clip moments with timestamps, drafts show notes and a week of social posts in your voice, and waits for your edits.
For a standing research question: the dot watches a data folder, reruns the notebook on each new file, flags anomalies and sends only the figures that moved.
Point the dot at a product page and a price. It checks daily in its own browser, messages you on a restock or a drop, and fills the cart for you to confirm.
Passports, licences, insurance, memberships: the dot keeps one list with expiry dates and reminds you a month ahead with the renewal steps and what you need to hand.
On travel days the dot checks the flight status, gate, security wait and weather at both ends, and sends one message before you leave for the airport.
A dot sorts new mail into reply today, reply this week and archive, gives a one-line reason for each, and drafts the replies you approve.
A dot that lists what renews in the next 14 days, the last price paid, and whether it changed, so a price rise never lands as a surprise on the statement.
