His Dot filled the newsletter tool from a Google Doc. The draft was 95% good.

Alistair Barr gave his Dot an old edition of his AI Insider newsletter as a Google Doc and told it to try a test run in the workplace newsletter tool, using the written how to guide. The Dot logged in for him, with a password click and a two factor code from his phone, and about five minutes later sent back a test draft his editor called 95% good.

How it works

  1. Gets his employer's go ahead and links his Dot to several workplace apps
  2. Asks the Dot to read the how to guide for the newsletter tool and do a test run
  3. Gives it an old newsletter as a Google Doc
  4. The Dot pops up for his password and walks him through Okta two factor, where he looks up a six digit code on his phone and shares it
  5. About five minutes later it sends a link to the test newsletter draft
  6. His editor looks it over and says it is 95% good, with photos, a chart and all the web links in the right places

Why it’s worth knowing

Five minutes after logging in the way an employee would, the Dot handed back a draft his editor scored at 95%. He says it could save them several hours a week.
