ChatGPT Dots Finally Clicked When I Learned This — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00ChatGBT dots is an incredibly powerful
- 0:02AI agent, which may be hard to believe
- 0:05the first time you open it because it
- 0:07seems like it's the same as ChatGBT work
- 0:09or codecs. But once I discovered what
- 0:12I'm about to show you in this video,
- 0:13chat GBT dots finally clicked and
- 0:16unlocked a completely new way of using
- 0:18Chat GBT for me that I absolutely love.
- 0:21So, if you're like me and you almost
- 0:23gave up on Dots or you're confused as to
- 0:25why anyone would actually use it, this
- 0:27is the right video for you. Let's dive
- 0:28in and I'll show you what makes Dots so
- 0:30special. This video is sponsored by
- 0:32Outskill. Dots is OpenAI's answer to
- 0:35Muse and Grockbot. It's an always on
- 0:38assistant built to handle everything as
- 0:40OpenAI says. It's supposed to work in
- 0:42the background keeping you updated on
- 0:44its progress and will proactively find
- 0:47ways to help you. Since it's built into
- 0:49Chat GBT, it starts off with access to
- 0:52your Chat GBT memory and all your
- 0:53plugins. It also gets its own cloud
- 0:55computer with its own browser. So, it
- 0:57can keep working even if your laptop is
- 1:00closed. It currently runs on GPT6 Astra
- 1:03and even though we only get one dot
- 1:05right now, OpenAI says we'll be getting
- 1:07more dots in the future. But looking at
- 1:09it on paper, there's nothing really
- 1:11original here. Muse and Grogbot can
- 1:14already do all of this stuff. They can
- 1:16run in the background. They have their
- 1:18own computer with their own browser.
- 1:20They can connect to all of your apps.
- 1:22They remember things about you. And you
- 1:24can even talk to rockbot with live
- 1:26voice. And actually chatbt itself could
- 1:29do all of this stuff before we had dots.
- 1:32So where does D dots fit in? At first I
- 1:35thought dot would be a personal
- 1:37assistant. I thought that was the point
- 1:38of it. So that's what I first tried to
- 1:40use it for. Things like shopping or
- 1:42booking appointments, things I was using
- 1:44Muse for. But I'm telling you, that's
- 1:46not the right way to use Dots. First of
- 1:49all, Muse already has that market
- 1:51cornered. It's hard to beat how simple
- 1:53Muse is to use, how fast it is, how good
- 1:55it is, and the fact that it's just free.
- 1:57But also, using Dots for that is
- 2:00treating it like an isolated tool, but
- 2:03it's not. It's inside of Chat GBT, and
- 2:06you want to be taking advantage of that.
- 2:08I discovered that the best way to use
- 2:11your DOT is as a supercharged chief of
- 2:14staff, because what DOT's really good at
- 2:17is something I'm calling staying on top
- 2:19of everything. It's a tool that stays on
- 2:21top of things for you and it does that
- 2:23both proactively and reactively. We can
- 2:26see an example of it staying on top of
- 2:28things right here. This was right after
- 2:30I set up DOT for the first time. You see
- 2:32it said hello and before I even said hi
- 2:35to it or prompted it or did anything, it
- 2:38started on its own getting to work
- 2:40finding ways it could help me. I set up
- 2:42my dot while I was traveling and there
- 2:44was a billing issue with my hotel. So,
- 2:47it identified that and said, "Hey,
- 2:48before you check out, you may just want
- 2:50to resolve that billing issue so that
- 2:52you don't get overcharged." It also
- 2:54noticed that there was a video I had
- 2:56planned to film the next day, but it
- 2:58pointed out that I should hold off on
- 3:00that until we finalized a couple of
- 3:01details. And it also found an email that
- 3:04I had failed to respond to for a while
- 3:06and suggested that, hey, maybe we should
- 3:07take care of that and actually respond
- 3:09to that email. Here's another example of
- 3:10that. So, I had asked my dot to send an
- 3:13email to one of the sponsors I had work
- 3:15with because I thought they hadn't paid
- 3:17me. So, we went back and forth on the
- 3:19email and then send it out. And then
- 3:21about 30 minutes later, I got this
- 3:23message from them and unfortunately I
- 3:24have to blur it out. But what this says
- 3:25is that, hey, actually, I was looking
- 3:27into things for you and I discovered
- 3:29that it looks like you may actually have
- 3:31been paid for that one. And I looked
- 3:33into it and it turns out it was correct.
- 3:35Now, that would have been nice to know
- 3:37before I sent the email, quite honestly.
- 3:39But still, it's pretty cool that within
- 3:41the 30 minutes after I sent the email,
- 3:42it woke itself up, thought to itself,
- 3:44how might I be able to help Paul and
- 3:46said, "Hey, let me look into whether
- 3:48that payment actually did come through,
- 3:50and then it discovered that I was paid."
- 3:52And then flagged it for me. So, we were
- 3:53able to send a follow-up email to the
- 3:55brand telling them that, "Hey, never
- 3:57mind. I actually was paid for it." And
- 3:59that's what I mean when I say it just
- 4:01stays on top of things for you. You
- 4:03don't even need to tell it to do that.
- 4:04It's just going to do it. And one of the
- 4:06reasons I think it's so good at this is
- 4:08because it's powered by GBT6 Astra,
- 4:10which is currently the best model in the
- 4:13world that we have inside of a personal
- 4:15agent. Muse and Grockbot are great, but
- 4:17they're not powered by GBT6 Astra. And I
- 4:20think this is the perfect time to talk
- 4:22about the sponsor of today's video. With
- 4:25the release of GBT6 Astra, we are the
- 4:27closest to AGI we have ever been. We
- 4:30went from prompting AI to AI agents
- 4:32doing the work for us. OpenAI's own
- 4:35president is calling it the start of the
- 4:37AGI era. That's why it's more important
- 4:40than ever that you stay employable in
- 4:42this new world. Step one of that is
- 4:44learning how to use Astra to its fullest
- 4:46potential. And I have the perfect place
- 4:49for you to learn that. a 3-hour crash
- 4:51course on GBT6 Astra where you can learn
- 4:54how to actually prompt and build your
- 4:56own Astro workflows before the world
- 4:58even gets to know about it. It's
- 5:00happening this weekend at 10:00 a.m.
- 5:02Eastern time. It's being conducted by
- 5:04Outskill, an official OpenAI partner who
- 5:06had access to Astra before anyone else.
- 5:09They've tested it limits and turned
- 5:11those learnings into this crash course.
- 5:13The link to sign up is in the
- 5:14description or you can scan the QR code
- 5:16on the screen. In the workshop, they'll
- 5:18show you everything from writing prompts
- 5:20that get Astra to nail the output on the
- 5:22first try to getting better outputs
- 5:24while using fewer tokens. You'll also
- 5:26learn how Astra can help you find jobs
- 5:28that match your strengths and how Astra
- 5:30can assist you with investing. Seats are
- 5:33limited, so I'd recommend grabbing yours
- 5:34before they fill up. When you sign up,
- 5:36you'll also get the Astra power playbook
- 5:39with prompt formulas and workflows ready
- 5:41for you to plug and play. So, go ahead,
- 5:43sign up for this and learn what less
- 5:45than 1% of people on Earth know. Now, so
- 5:48far, everything I've shown you has been
- 5:50proactively done by my dot. But the
- 5:52whole idea of having it stay on top of
- 5:54stuff for you doesn't just have to be
- 5:56proactive. You can give it things to
- 5:58stay on top of. So, let me show you an
- 5:59example. Right here, I have a video game
- 6:01I've been working on just for fun. It's
- 6:03a completely original game called
- 6:05Schmela, but there are some bugs that
- 6:07I'm going to have Dot work on for me. I
- 6:09also have this app right here which I
- 6:12call dayboard. And this brings together
- 6:14my Apple reminders, my calendar, and my
- 6:18tasks from Obsidian into one board, so I
- 6:21can easily organize them and see
- 6:23everything I have to do each day in one
- 6:25place. But I want to add some additional
- 6:27capabilities and fixes to this. And then
- 6:29finally, I want Chat GBT to help me with
- 6:31organizing some thoughts about another
- 6:33video that I'm working on. So instead of
- 6:35opening new threads for each of those or
- 6:38finding the existing threads, we're
- 6:40going to have dot handle all of that for
- 6:43us. And for this, I'm going to use the
- 6:46voice functionality. Now, they don't
- 6:48call it voice, they call it a call. And
- 6:51I'm just going to get this out of the
- 6:52way. This is super gimmicky, okay? It's
- 6:55a very strange choice they've made to
- 6:58make this look like a phone call, but
- 7:00once you move past how gimmicky this is,
- 7:02it's actually very helpful. So, let's
- 7:04call Dot.
- 7:06You see, it's literally ringing. It's
- 7:08kind of silly.
- 7:09>> Hey there, back again so soon. I'm glad
- 7:11to hear from you. What's up?
- 7:12>> Okay, Dot. Um, I need you to help me
- 7:15check off a bunch of stuff in my to-do
- 7:16list, but I'm also recording this so I
- 7:19can show people on YouTube how you work.
- 7:20So, make sure you don't reveal anything
- 7:22in this voice chat that's uh kind of
- 7:24sensitive. All right, you ready for all
- 7:26the tasks?
- 7:27>> Yeah, I got it. Give them to me.
- 7:29>> All right, so first I have a video that
- 7:30I'm working on for Tuesday. It's going
- 7:32to be about the new chat GBT space or
- 7:35spaces. I always forget what it's
- 7:36called. Um, so can you go out and do a
- 7:38bunch of research for me about space and
- 7:41what it is and what's included and bring
- 7:43some of those notes into an outline into
- 7:46the video page that I've already set up
- 7:48in my YouTube schedule in Obsidian for
- 7:51the video about space. And I need it so
- 7:54that once you're done, I can just go in
- 7:56there and turn that outline into a a
- 7:58script and kind of like put together the
- 8:00video from there. But I need all the
- 8:02information in there so I don't miss any
- 8:04key points. Um, the other thing I need
- 8:06from you is, um, I have a codeex thread
- 8:08for my app called Dayboard. The original
- 8:11one, I I made two versions of it, but I
- 8:13want you to work on the original one
- 8:14that works with Obsidian. I want to make
- 8:16some, uh, big updates to it. Basically,
- 8:18what I'm hoping is that instead of just
- 8:20being able to see my tasks in Obsidian,
- 8:23I want to be able to click on those,
- 8:24double click on them, and instead of
- 8:26having that open up in Obsidian, I want
- 8:28those to open up in Dayboard. So, I can
- 8:30actually edit the pages in Dayboard like
- 8:34a very like a not a full Obsidian
- 8:36experience, just like a very basic um
- 8:39markdown editor inside of Dayboard. So,
- 8:43uh, not everything, but just like basic
- 8:45enough so I can edit that page without
- 8:47having to open up Obsidian while still
- 8:49having a button that would take me to
- 8:50Obsidian so that I can do more in there
- 8:53if I have to. The third thing is the
- 8:55game uh, Schmela. There's a codeex
- 8:58thread for that one already. And for
- 9:00that one, I there's a couple of bugs.
- 9:02The the main one is when I'm walking up
- 9:04a steep hill, sometimes it kind of gets
- 9:07a little stuck, like it's trying to both
- 9:09walk and climb at the same time. So, you
- 9:11can fix that up. And then when I turn on
- 9:14god mode, I want it so I have unlimited
- 9:16arrows and I can move even faster so I
- 9:19can like play through the game and check
- 9:20for bugs faster. Um, I think that's
- 9:22everything. So, I've cued those schmelda
- 9:24fixes, smoother walking to climbing
- 9:27transitions on steep hills, plus
- 9:29unlimited arrows and a faster movement
- 9:31speed in god mode for dayboard. The
- 9:33lightweight editor inside the app saved
- 9:35back to obsidian notes with an open in
- 9:38Obsidian button. That's also lined up.
- 9:40And for Tuesday's spaces video, the
- 9:43research is underway and will be shaped
- 9:46for your existing note. So notice what I
- 9:48did there. I fired off a bunch of
- 9:50different tasks to dot. And because Dot
- 9:52is built into chat GBT, you can access
- 9:54all those other threads or start new
- 9:56ones. Apps like Muse and Grockbot, they
- 9:59are on their own, sort of separated. But
- 10:02Dots is part of a larger ecosystem where
- 10:05you're already doing other work and
- 10:07tasks and it's just helping to
- 10:09coordinate within that ecosystem. I also
- 10:11find that DOTS is very good at following
- 10:14up and ensuring that the end goal is
- 10:16actually reached. In the past, I felt
- 10:19like I had to sit and check in with my
- 10:21chief of staff to make sure that things
- 10:23were getting done the right way or
- 10:24actually getting done to completion.
- 10:26Now, my dot replaces me in that
- 10:29equation. I send it my ideas. it is
- 10:31going to stay on top of the tasks, the
- 10:33subtasks, and the threads it created to
- 10:35make sure that things actually get
- 10:37finished. And because it works really
- 10:39well with the phone app, I'll get
- 10:41notifications on my phone if it needs
- 10:43anything. And then I can step in and
- 10:45keep uh adding things to it and it's
- 10:47going to keep me updated on what's going
- 10:49on without me needing to sit in front of
- 10:51my computer. So, how can you take
- 10:53advantage of DOT's strengths? Well,
- 10:55first, set up your DOT. Right now, you
- 10:57unfortunately need the pro plan, which
- 10:59starts at $100 a month, or a business
- 11:01plan. It's also not available yet in the
- 11:04EU or, the UK or Switzerland yet. So,
- 11:06it's very limited in where you can
- 11:08access it. But once you do get access to
- 11:11it, because it is going to roll out for
- 11:12cheaper plans and for more regions,
- 11:14hopefully soon. Once you get access to
- 11:16it, just go ahead and set it up and it's
- 11:18just going to start working for you on
- 11:20its own. But give it guidance. By
- 11:21default, for instance, my dot started
- 11:23messaging me throughout the day about
- 11:25different emails I was receiving. And I
- 11:27didn't think that was super helpful
- 11:28because I already get notifications from
- 11:31my email app on my phone. So, I just
- 11:33told it, hey, I don't need you to tell
- 11:34me about that, but I do want you to stay
- 11:36on top of this other stuff. And it will
- 11:38follow those directions. And then use it
- 11:40as your new chief of staff. Really focus
- 11:42on telling it the end result you want
- 11:44and just let it take care of those
- 11:46things for you. But also realize that
- 11:48dots is going to evolve, especially once
- 11:50we get access to more dots. I think once
- 11:53that happens, dots may become something
- 11:55similar to Grockbot where you can assign
- 11:58each dot a role and then just go to that
- 12:00dot anytime you need something from that
- 12:03particular role fulfilled for you. Or
- 12:05you can just have them running things
- 12:07for you automatically 247. So, if you
- 12:10are curious how you can set up an army
- 12:13of agents like that to run your
- 12:15business, you might want to check out
- 12:16this video right here. This is a video I
- 12:18made all about Grockbot, how I've set up
- 12:20a team of bots to help me run my
- 12:22business. And I think once we get
- 12:24multiple dots, it will be a very similar
- 12:27idea. So, definitely check out this
- 12:29video, get an idea of how these bots
- 12:31work, and then I'll see you over here in
- 12:331 second. Bye for now.
