I Stopped Using OpenAI's dots After a Week
Why did I stop using OpenAI's dots, and what do my Grok Bots actually do all day? I stopped using the dots stuff for now because it was just too much work, and I'll come back to it. When I tried dots from the very beginning I kept hitting so many roadblocks between using it on my phone and on my machine, and it's something I'll follow up on probably like a month from now, because the team is working like crazy to get it off the ground. Meanwhile Grok Bot has been extremely important to me in my life. I have a concierge that finds restaurants I can actually eat at as a person with celiac disease, and Max, my recomposition coach, has been with me from 250 pounds down to about 194. I also show the Tailscale OAuth setup so your bot connects forever, and how I make one Grok Bot the CTO for Ray Transcribes, with my Cursor Project set up to watch production for an hour after a deploy and roll back if anything breaks. dots is OpenAI's always-on agents, out Sep 29, 2026. Grok Bot is the assistant app I run my bots in.
