Reported experience

  1. What they did

    Mark Kashef connected Dots to Slack in about three clicks: authenticate, pick a workspace, grant access. He then asked it to find a Montreal to Johannesburg flight using its own computer. The only sign of activity was a "thinking" label, so he opened the computer manually and saw it on the Emirates site.

  2. How it went

    A minute in, Dots still hadn't picked dates. A normal Codex session would have produced a short list by then. He concluded it isn't worth switching to.

  3. Worth knowing

    Dots gives no progress feedback, so you have to open its computer yourself to see what it's doing. Connections made in Codex don't carry over and must be redone.

Example prompts

Try with Dots
Connect to my Slack workspace and help me pick flight dates for a trip from [origin] to [destination] sometime between [date range]. Use your own computer to check fares across a few days and compare prices for trips of [number] nights. Finish by posting the three best date options with prices and links in Slack, and do not book or pay for anything without showing me the details and getting my approval.
