Everything you need to know about OpenAI's new Dots, explained through the official launch footage and documentation. We cover who gets access, how to create your dot, connect apps, use its cloud computer, sign in, delegate and schedule work, check usage limits, set approvals, and stop tasks. I just got access and haven't fully tested mine yet—let me know in the comments if you want me to make a hands-on video.
