Author runs his book work and daily admin on the AI, testing Dots alongside

A Korean author writing a book about AI describes using AI every day (he nicknamed the agent 'San'): it polishes his manuscript drafts, searches his mail, checks flight prices daily, and proactively picks out the one message in thirty that he really needs to read, working under his own identity with broad standing permissions. Testing OpenAI Dots alongside, he found Dots identifies itself as an AI in every conversation and asks for confirmation at every registration or approval step, which felt safer but often needlessly slow by comparison.

How it works

  1. The AI polishes manuscript drafts in a dedicated side chat
  2. Searches and triages mail, flagging must-read messages
  3. Checks flight prices daily
  4. Dots tested in parallel for delegated background work

Why it’s worth knowing

He split his life by chat window: book drafts in one, household errands in another, with the same agent holding the context across both.
