Dots agent users hit 403s and context decay weeks after launch, hype fades
ionabio · reddit · 2026-10-10
- A Redditor reports Dots' cloud computer browser returns 403 Forbidden on most sites (e.g., couldn't log into Cloudflare), and its connected Windows PC mode crashes frequently — with a matching GitHub issue — while even trivial commands demand elevation.
- They argue the launch-time "proactive" impression came from context limited to a single workflow; weeks later the fragmented context memory makes the agent feel lazy, likely the same bug as the dev day demo where a fresh context succeeded.
- Verdict: initial hype was genuine but real-world usability is heavily constrained.
