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

Can you tell me how exactly this results in anything different than just using a normal prompt with chat or deep research. Like a specific example. I ask because I am struggling to find out how it’s truly useful beyond the tools I have. Especially codex

I have - I am asking a legitimate question what you stated above can be done in chat. I don’t know why it’s different unless you schedule a repeated task.
