Power user finds ChatGPT Dots can't track 30 tasks and still lacks screen sharing

Power user koltregaskes posted a detailed critique of ChatGPT Dots after extended use:
- Weak task tracking: giving it 30 tasks over a 2-hour conversation overwhelms it; he expects it to run 30 background agents and report back while he keeps talking
- Missing interactions: no phone shortcut to reach the dot, no voice wake/end triggers, and the dot can't end calls itself
- Capability gaps: can't see schedules (tasks live separately), no voice call transcripts, no access to local work mode sessions or network drives, can't view ChatGPT sessions when connected to a computer, and no screen sharing on desktop or phone
- Product confusion: Pets, dots and minis coexist as separate concepts when they should be one thing
His verdict: Dots often doesn't finish tasks, is slow, and falls far short of an always-on agent vision.
