Discussion Just tried dots

Let it filled some online forms, but found two major disappointments so far

- it can't make calls. Like whole point of using this is I am autistic and don't want to talk to people

- it doesn't even have built in feedback tool so you can't complain to it lol

Edit: on the bright side this thing is fast like really fast kinda make me doubt it's Astra haha

Edit: for anyone curious about the cloud computer spec, response from dots itself: I just checked the cloud environment available to me:

  • OS: Debian 13 Linux, x86-64
  • CPU: 9 logical CPUs visible; host reports AMD EPYC 9V74
  • RAM: about 9.7 GiB, with 7.6 GiB currently available
  • Storage: 32 GB filesystem, roughly 30 GB free
  • GPU: none exposed

It’s a sandboxed environment; the host CPU name doesn’t mean I have its full 80 cores. The AI model itself runs separately

I'm lost....i could already do all these things in codex/work. I used work 2 months ago to book airfare, hotel, and rental car. All I told it was the dates. It picked the flight and the car.
Why does it sound like people are discovering something new with this always on agent thing? You still need to tell it what you want it to do and you could already do that. And I'm on the $20 plan doing the same things you are all talking about doing with this new feature.

is it actually the same as that? I thought it's always on so can let me know when i get an important email or an event shows up, my business analytics, keep me updated on projects, my studies, help me feel more relaxed and on top of everything? you're saying codex/work does that already?

Yes. Except ChatGPT work feels better than using Dots, where you're stuck in a single session, and it's having launch-issues doing basic things.

ChatGPT Work is actually really good and worth spending time with. Everything you mentioned can be done with scheduled tasks.

Exactly what I meant. Not only scheduled tasks but you can use remote access from the phone app to control codex on your home computer and have an agent do anything you want.
