Watch my inboxes, find a $4,000 invoice I never sent, and assemble it for approval

Freelancer Justin Blaze Martin posted on X on Oct 19 that the first thing his Dot did was go through his three inboxes and find a $4,000 invoice from July that he had forgotten to send a client. The Dot assembled the invoice from the email thread and had it ready to send after his approval.
