Use Dots to coordinate several projects at once
A user tried Dots Pro as a project coordinator, but it kept falling back to the desktop and could not manage chats the way they expected.
- What they did
- The poster moved from Plus to Pro so a Dot could serve as a coordinator across Projects. They wanted it to open new conversations, keep separate chats organized, and switch between multiple workstreams. In practice, the Dot would not create or resume standard ChatGPT chats, and when they asked it to begin new Work conversations in cloud mode, it repeatedly tried to use the linked desktop instead.
- How it went
- The setup fell short of the goal. Regular chat-thread use did not seem to be available, and cloud Work conversations broke down when the desktop was switched off. No successful workflow improvements were reported.
- Tips
- If you try this kind of setup, expect to bridge context between Dots and other chats yourself. One commenter also said letting a Dot operate the ChatGPT website or desktop app could violate the terms, and pointed to Slack or Teams for business or education accounts.
