Workflow and review suggestions are editorial annotations. A demo or anecdote does not establish repeatable performance. Checked September 30, 2026.
The invoice that was forgotten
OpenAI reports that an early tester’s dot spotted a missed publication invoice and sent it after approval.
See the workflow & review points
- Starting material
- Editorial starting point: invoice records and the relevant correspondence.
- Output described
- An invoice draft, followed by an approved send.
- Review checkpoint
- Check the recipient, amount, tax details and duplicate-invoice risk.
Evidence limitVendor-reported anecdote. No named tester, repeatable dataset or independently checked outcome is provided.
Retire a legacy inventory API
The keynote showed Alfred coordinating an inventory API migration; the displayed GitHub view listed three pull requests.
See the workflow & review points
- Starting material
- Demo context: an API scheduled for retirement and dependent code.
- Output described
- PRs for the client, checkout/subscriptions and background jobs.
- Review checkpoint
- Before adapting it: inspect coverage, contract compatibility and rollback.
Evidence limitStage demonstration recorded in a live blog; the repository and production outcome were not independently verified.
Dottie and a fictional music app
Holly Li presented Dottie working on a fictional music app and described using laptop Codex and an iPhone Simulator.
See the workflow & review points
- Starting material
- A staged product-development scenario spanning chat and team context.
- Output described
- An illustrated handoff from discussion to local development.
- Review checkpoint
- Ask for the runnable app, changes and test evidence before accepting delivery.
Evidence limitThe observer also recorded a slow live call. This does not establish an end-to-end success rate.
Keep an offsite on track
The setup guide uses venue emails and an event plan to illustrate continued follow-up.
See the workflow & review points
- Starting material
- Event plan and venue correspondence.
- Output described
- Decision list, deadlines, unanswered questions and reply drafts.
- Review checkpoint
- Editorial check: confirm headcount and cancellation terms before committing.
Evidence limitOfficial illustrative workflow; no completed customer event or measured time saving is documented.
A weekday planning check-in
Official guidance describes checking a planning channel on weekdays for a defined period.
See the workflow & review points
- Starting material
- A connected channel, time zone, end date and alert conditions.
- Output described
- An updated checklist; a message when a deadline needs attention.
- Review checkpoint
- Confirm the saved schedule and destination; review it under Scheduled.
Evidence limitA channel connection alone is not a schedule. The example is not a preconfigured automation on this site.
From Slack bug report to review
The task guide describes reacting to new Slack bug reports when the connected service supports event monitoring.
See the workflow & review points
- Starting material
- A permitted Slack channel and an identified code project.
- Output described
- Investigation and proposed fixes for review.
- Review checkpoint
- Editorial check: require a reproduction, targeted checks and a reviewable change.
Evidence limitMonitoring must be supported and explicitly configured. Adding a dot to a channel does not start it.
Update a changing sales proposal
The handbook illustrates revising figures and pending reviews when customer requirements change.
See the workflow & review points
- Starting material
- Proposal, customer requirements and changing seat counts or terms.
- Output described
- Updated proposal details and open review decisions.
- Review checkpoint
- Editorial check: reconcile quantities and approved pricing; approve any commitment.
Evidence limitOfficial example, not a verified deal result or revenue claim.
Turn an interview into draft content
The handbook suggests developing captions, show notes and clip ideas from interview material.
See the workflow & review points
- Starting material
- Interview material and photos.
- Output described
- Draft captions, show notes and clip ideas.
- Review checkpoint
- Editorial check: check quotations in context and confirm image and guest permissions.
Evidence limitAn illustrative content workflow; it does not establish automatic video editing or publishing success.
Keep a launch aligned with the product
The handbook describes flagging product changes and revising related launch materials.
See the workflow & review points
- Starting material
- Launch channel, brief, deck and approved visuals.
- Output described
- Proposed copy, slide and speaker-note changes.
- Review checkpoint
- Editorial check: compare product claims with the current release and owner approval.
Evidence limitOfficial workflow example, without a named campaign or measured business result.
Compare a fresh batch of results
The handbook suggests comparing repeated measurements and preparing updated findings for review.
See the workflow & review points
- Starting material
- Existing study and new measurements.
- Output described
- Comparison chart, differences, findings draft and proposed next tests.
- Review checkpoint
- Editorial check: verify units, exclusions and reproducibility with a domain expert.
Evidence limitIllustrative research support; not scientific validation of the resulting conclusions.
Continue an existing local coding task
Official task documentation supports continuing an identified local Codex task on the connected computer.
See the workflow & review points
- Starting material
- A specific existing task and the requested change.
- Output described
- Further work in that task’s original environment.
- Review checkpoint
- Keep the connected computer online with ChatGPT open; inspect the result in its task.
Evidence limitChanging the selected computer does not migrate existing tasks. Cloud browser sign-ins are separate.
A mobile onboarding roadblock
Simon Willison reported that the create-dot link asked him to switch to desktop.
See the workflow & review points
- Starting material
- An attempt to begin setup from mobile on launch day.
- Output described
- A desktop-setup instruction, rather than a created dot.
- Review checkpoint
- The official setup guide also specifies desktop for creation; use mobile after supported setup.
Evidence limitOne first-hand access observation. It is not a test of Dots’ task execution or all eligible accounts.
