Think of Dots as Codex, but for regular people.
Key facts
- And OpenAI is offering Dots first to users on its highest-tier accounts, including the $100- per-month Pro account the reporter expensed to test it
- And in any case, the new provider needed their bank account to get a $5 discount on their bill every month
- Once again, AI proves most helpful when you give it a large dataset (me rambling for 10 minutes) it can turn into something useful
- It almost got there, and even found a $100 promotional discount in their email that the reporter had mass deleted, but got stuck at a “human check.” Which is problematic for a bot
Summary
It’s a tale as old as last week: OpenAI’s new agent platform, called Dots, is full of cute little guys who can do your bidding. But unlike the ultra-approachable Meta Muse, Dots feel much like using workplace software that happens to be able to order you a burrito, emphasis on work. OpenAI announced Dots earlier this week. The interface looks similar to Muse’s; you chat with the agent in one window and follow its work in another as it clicks around on a virtual machine. And OpenAI is offering Dots first to users on its highest-tier accounts, including the $100- per-month Pro account the reporter expensed to test it.
