Hand consumer errands to an always-on agent
A journalist tested Dot on ISP signup, an Ikea account and food ordering; it finished only some with human help, blocked by browser checks and payment steps.
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.
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.
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.
