The creator finds major issues: the call feature fails, outputs like an avatar can take 20–30 minutes, image loading breaks, app connections aren’t obvious, and cloud computer use is extremely slow compared with tools like Claude Sonnet/Opus and Grok Bot. Dots can run parallel tasks and successfully begins booking a restaurant table via a connected Google account, but it takes several minutes and behaves inefficiently. The conclusion is that Dots isn’t worth switching to, recommending Claude for faster results and Grok Bot/Hermes/Manus as better options. 00:00 Dots Overview 00:28 Setup and Access 02:00 What Dots Are 02:59 Customize and Calls 03:52 Speed and Reliability 04:30 Research and Integrations 06:04 Website Builder Demo 06:34 Cloud Computer Test 08:28 Announcement vs Reality 09:06 Restaurant Booking Test 11:49 Verdict and Alternatives 12:39 App Connections Confusion 13:54 Region and Account Issues 14:34 Final Thoughts and Outro

This is a full-day hands-on training workshop for purposeful co-creation with AI using Claude Code. Imagine having access to hundreds of billions of dollars of computing power and knowing exactly how to make it work for you through the power of super intelligence. One person did.
