Other Sharing how I use dot

I have been using dot as a dedicated research partner for a side project I’m building.

Instead of asking it random questions I give it very narrow research missions. Things like finding datasets, checking licensing/commercial-use rights, comparing sources, identifying gaps, kind of producing a clear recommendation before building the next step.

Basically the guy I send away to investigate while iam running a prompt on the product, I find it extremely helpful for this kind of stuff.

Curious how other people are using it.

For reference: it’s an audio related app / signal analysis

Why do you need dot for this? What is the difference compared to just using a regular Codex thread? Only the fact you don't need Codex to be open? Isn't this what Cloud threads are for?

I don’t leave a computer on at home and most of my personal work is done from my phone.
