Wait. What’s a Dot?
Think of an AI helper with a notebook and an ongoing job. A Dot is OpenAI’s take on an agent that can keep work moving between your conversations. You give it direction and review what comes back.
Less guessing. Better beginnings.
Good help starts
with a clear ask.
You don’t need to become an AI expert. You need to decide what useful help looks like.
We help you turn a vague idea into a small, well-defined job—with the right context, a way to check the result, and a clear place to stop.
A starting thought
“Help me with my business.”
A useful responsibility
“Review the customer notes I authorize. Summarize open follow-ups and draft replies. Ask me before sending anything.”
An example instruction. It doesn’t connect accounts or create an automation.
