https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JgKvZ6iAe4 Five-minute plain-English guide to ChatGPT Dots: what a Dot is versus a normal chat, who can access it today, how to create one, how memory and schedules work, cloud vs local computer, and which approvals to lock down before connecting apps or files. Best for members who want a clean mental model before they hand a Dot real work. What A Dot Is 1. Not a typing indicator — an always-on AI teammate that keeps working between conversations 2. Built for continuity: responsibility + desired result + tools + when to escalate to you 3. Tracks what changed, plans next steps, and runs background tasks while you keep chatting 4. Think ongoing teammate, not one giant prompt Who Can Access (As Of This Video) 1. Rolling out gradually — eligible accounts may still wait several days 2. OpenAI lists Pro $100, Pro $200, and Pro $500 for adults outside the EEA, UK, and Switzerland 3. Business Premium rolling out worldwide 4. Enterprise (including Edu and healthcare) beta starts off — admin must enable it 5. First Dot included with eligible Pro or Business Premium; deeper work allowances may change after launch How To Create One 1. Use the ChatGPT desktop app or ChatGPT in a desktop browser (Windows supported) 2. You cannot create a Dot on mobile or mobile web yet 3. Follow onboarding: name, look, review app/computer connections before enabling 4. After setup, the same Dot can appear in the mobile app once that update reaches you Good Assignment Shape 1. Responsibility — what it owns day to day 2. Sources — what it should read / watch 3. Boundaries — what it must never do without you 4. Updates — where and how often it reports 5. Examples: launch checklist, support-issue research, recurring reports, deadline risk watch 6. Exact-time work needs a saved schedule; open Activity for in-progress / scheduled / completed Memory And Research 1. Uses current conversation, relevant ChatGPT memory, and its own saved notes
