Dots watches my servers and warns me before deadlines. In France it costs 130 euros a month.

After three weeks with OpenAI Dots in France, a user says it reads his email in read only mode. When OVHcloud announced data center work, Dots matched the notice against his own servers, told him which could be hit and told him to check his backups. It also warns him ahead of renewals like Amazon Prime.

How it works

  1. Dots gets read only access to his email
  2. OVHcloud sends a maintenance notice
  3. Dots compares it with his servers and says which ones may be affected
  4. Dots advises checking backups and warns ahead of subscription renewals

Why it’s worth knowing

It did not just pass on the maintenance email. It worked out which of his servers were in the way and what to check first.
