Summary
The AI Advantage spends the first 24 hours with ChatGPT Dots, OpenAI’s new category of always-on agents with their own computer and browser that users can talk to by voice. Access currently comes with the Business Premium plan at $100 per user, and the feature is unavailable in New York, so a US VPN was needed. The creator has been using Grokbot and Muse for weeks and compares Dots with them throughout.
The test starts with setting up an agent named Mini Alfredo, checking what context it can reach, such as ChatGPT memories and files, and pausing it. The voice call feature, which failed twice in OpenAI’s own demo, returned a technical error. A voice-driven task asks Dots to search used-car listings in Lisbon for campervans between 20,000 and 50,000 euros and to recheck for new listings, which created a scheduled task. Limitations show up too. Skills do not work in Dots while plugins do, and one page-creation task took about five minutes.
The video also tours the new Spaces tab, a Notion-style markdown editor inside ChatGPT with slash commands, AI image generation, scheduled actions and sharing. The overall impression is that Dots shows promise but needs patience.
