Use case overview

An Every writer's Dot researched a flight change and flagged a clash with a colleague's recording, learned from a Slack discussion.

Reported experience

  1. What they did

    Dan Shipper wanted to change a flight out of San Francisco and used his Dot, OpenAI's proactive always-on agent, to help with the booking. The Dot researched flight options. It also drew on a Slack discussion he hadn't seen, which contained a proposed recording schedule.

  2. How it went

    The Dot warned that the flight might overlap with Randy Counsman's Wednesday morning video recording. That recording wasn't on Shipper's calendar. The rest of the article is paywalled, so the booking outcome isn't visible.

  3. Worth knowing

    The agent caught the clash because it could read Slack, not because the event was on a calendar. Check what access your agent has.

Example prompts
