Use an always-on agent for routine business work
A reviewer used Dots for ten work tasks, from research to publishing, and found it strongest on planning, webpages, and scheduled monitoring.
- What they did
- Diana set up a dot called Sparky in ChatGPT Pro and linked Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Sheets, GitHub, Slack, and ChatGPT Sites. She kept the default settings and sent it ten real business jobs across two days, with one try per task. The tasks included meeting prep, email sorting, a product comparison, webpage publishing, a content plan, spreadsheet work, and a scheduled monitor.
- How it went
- Across the ten tasks, the average score was 8.8 out of 10. The comparison, webpage, content plan, and scheduled job each scored 9.8, while post-meeting follow-up landed at 7 and inbox triage plus the spreadsheet work at 7.5. One spreadsheet looked fine in the agent’s checks but its formulas failed in Google Sheets.
- Tips
- Use it for research, drafts, and scheduled checks, but review follow-up and inbox work more closely. Open any spreadsheet in the program you plan to use before relying on it.
