Ask an always-on Slack agent to pick flight dates
A reviewer connected Dots to Slack and asked it to use its own computer to choose flight dates; it was slow and had not picked dates after a minute.
What they did
Mark Kashef connected Dots to Slack in about three clicks: authenticate, pick a workspace, grant access. He then asked it to find a Montreal to Johannesburg flight using its own computer. The only sign of activity was a "thinking" label, so he opened the computer manually and saw it on the Emirates site.
How it went
A minute in, Dots still hadn't picked dates. A normal Codex session would have produced a short list by then. He concluded it isn't worth switching to.
Worth knowing
Dots gives no progress feedback, so you have to open its computer yourself to see what it's doing. Connections made in Codex don't carry over and must be redone.

The “Material” label failed its quality check and is not used for selection.
