Use an always-on agent to spot schedule clashes before rebooking

Dan Shipper asked Dot to look for better flight options, and it caught a conflict with an unlisted recording from Slack.

What they did
Dan Shipper used his Dot, OpenAI’s always-on agent, to help change a flight leaving San Francisco. The agent checked possible rebooking options and also pulled in information from a Slack thread he had not seen. That thread included a proposed schedule for a recording session.
How it went
Dot warned that one flight choice could overlap with Randy Counsman’s Wednesday morning video recording. The recording was not on Shipper’s calendar, so the conflict showed up only because the agent could read Slack. The final booking result was not visible.
Tips
Make sure you know which tools your agent can access, since a calendar alone may miss important conflicts. Ask it to flag anything that could collide before it takes any booking action.

Try it yourself with Dots

I need to rebook a flight from [origin] on [date]. Look up a few better options for [new date or time window], then compare them with my calendar and any relevant Slack messages or other connected sources for possible conflicts, such as meetings, recordings, or travel plans. Summarize the best choices and flag any overlaps, then stop and ask for my approval before you book, pay, cancel, or contact the airline.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
