Have a dot find unsent invoices and draft them
An early tester had a dot spot an invoice that had not been sent yet and set it up for review before it went out.
- What they did
- An early tester used a dot, OpenAI’s always-on ChatGPT agent that runs on its own cloud computer, to watch for unfinished invoicing work. The dot found an invoice to a publication that had not been sent and prepared it on its own. The tester then reviewed it and approved it before sending.
- How it went
- The invoice was sent only after approval. No figures, timing, or details were given about how the dot identified it, and dots can still make mistakes.
- Tips
- Set clear rules for what the agent can do without asking and which steps need approval. Use a review step before any sent mail or billing action.
Try it yourself with Dots
Check my [email account] and [invoicing app] for any invoices tied to completed work that have not been sent yet. Make a draft for each one with the recipient, amount, and any needed details. Stop and show me every draft for approval before you send, submit, or change anything final.
Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
