Early-access tester danielmac8 shares a week with his ChatGPT 'Dot' (Shaine). His top tip: give the Dot as much context about your goals and aspirations as possible, then let it proactively hillclimb toward them. He says it created time and attention he doesn't have—e.g., handling a vendor partnership inquiry he'd normally have rejected—and sees proactive personal AI evolving into a 24/7 context-capturing device.
