OpenAI's Dots demo slammed: wrong use cases, glitches, weak product judgment
PsychicorAI · reddit · 2026-10-02
A Reddit user criticized OpenAI's Dots demo by Holly Li: visible glitches aside, the chosen use cases were unconvincing — flight and hotel booking takes two minutes on Google search, and the user-feedback workflow example ignores that OpenAI obviously has workflows. Tasks requiring turn-by-turn feedback fit codex plus a visual interface better than delegation. Verdict: great engineering, let down by product management.
