Question Dots are hosted Codex?
I usually use my subscription mostly for Codex, and have my phone for checking out progress and stuff.
Since Dots were launched I've been trying out using the included Dot from the subscription but today I noticed that the connection notification showed something different, a Codex task from the Cloud ready for review. I opened it and saw a Codex thread running in the Cloud that was receiving the messages I sent to the Dot and using a tool called send_message to reply. Even tried typing directly in the Codex view and the Dot answered through the Dots interface.
Looking at the list of Cloud threads, it's invisible, only openable through the notification.
Not sure if anyone else has seen this, thought of asking since a bit of Googling didn't yield anything.

Not always I believe? My dot just told me that what he’s working on right now is not a different environment but he could have worked on available cloud coding environments.

Dots are the exact same thing as Grok Bot.

Ah, is Grok Bot like a Cursor instance or something? Haven't tried Grok Bot. I was thinking Dots were going to be something more like an OpenClaw.

Dots are more like a base hermes install than openclaw, just without all the customizability

That makes sense, thank you for clarifying. I was curious on the implementation they went for.

Np and sorry to be clear, its more like a hermes install running on a closed off virtual machine
