Reported experience

  1. What they did

    A reviewer gave OpenAI's Dot agent everyday errands: signing up for an ISP, getting into an Ikea account, and ordering food. Dot kept hitting browser blocks, and the reviewer had to do manual click-and-hold verification. Some tasks only finished with that human help. Dot also had no virtual-card checkout flow for payments.

  2. How it went

    Dot completed only some of the errands, and only with human help. It did much better on work tasks on the reviewer's own computer, such as rebuilding a personal website after a 10-minute voice briefing.

  3. Worth knowing

    Dot is rolling out first to top-tier users, including the $100-a-month Pro plan, which the reviewer said wasn't yet justified for their own workflow.

Example prompts

Try with Dots
Help me with this errand: [e.g. sign up for internet service at my address, create an account at a store, or order dinner from a restaurant]. Do as much as you can and tell me which steps you couldn't finish. Stop and show me the details before any payment, account creation or form submission.
