Section titled “Full transcript (original language)”00:00 Hey, what’s up? I’m Alex. I work on Dots for mobile. Dots are always on proactive agents that just take off your plate. Previously, you can only claim a dot on desktop and web, but you can now set up Dots on mobile as well. Um it’ll be available on both iOS and Android, and honestly, very, very easy to set up. We designed it so that basically it sets itself up. So, all you have to do is open the ChatGPT app. In the top-left corner, you’ll see an entry point that says Meet Dot. Once you hit that button, it’ll basically create a thread with
00:31 your Dot. From there, your Dot just gets to work. It might ask you for calendar access, might ask you for to connect your email. Uh highly recommend connecting both calendar and email because it just gives your Dot more context. The more context that your Dot has, the more it can kind of take off your plate. The other thing you can do with your Dot is actually personalize it. You can give it a name, you can give it an avatar. So, let’s go ahead and do that. I’m going to name my Dot Blossy. And there’s a couple options to choose from. Uh I can do an avatar, or I can do use my Codex pet. I’m actually going to
01:03 create a custom avatar. All right. So, my favorite color is blue. I’m going to make him blue. Um I’m going to keep things simple for now, so no accessories, but yep, this is Blossy. So, your Dot also has access to its own computer, and it also has access to your computer, which is really cool for doing complex tasks like coding, prototyping, etc. So, let’s give Blossy a call and see if we can prototype something quickly. >> Okay, Alex. Good evening. What’s on your mind? >> Hey, Blossy. Can you actually prototype me an iOS widget so that you can live on my home screen? I want the widget to
01:37 have your avatar, your name, and then also like a short status on what you’re working on. >> Let me check on that. >> Just go like kick off a Codex thread and start building it. While you do that, also just check Slack to see if anybody else is working on this widget. I want to make sure I’m collaborating with the right people. >> Good call. Brian Somerset and Gavin Nelson are the folks to sync with. They’re already pushing toward a widget NDD and an exclusive >> don’t you just Can you like get me into a Slack thread with them? And also, when
02:07 you’re done with the prototype, send me a screenshot so I can give you some comments. >> Mhm. Yeah, on it. I’ll loop you in with Brian and Devon and get you a screenshot as soon as it’s ready. I’m on that same prototype thread and I’ll draft a Slack reply tagging them for you to approve. >> All right. Awesome. Thank you. Cool. Um just going to let Blassie cook for a little bit. Uh going to check back in when I’m back home in front of my computer on the latest progress. Um if you’re watching this video right now on your phone, switch over to the ChatGPT app and get your dot set up.
