OpenAI's Dot assistant gets lost migrating a ChatGPT thread across product surfaces

User alexisgallagher documented a real failure of OpenAI's Dot personal assistant: after starting a Mac-bound ChatGPT thread, he asked Dot to convert it into a portable thread type. Dot created a new cloud Work thread and injected a context handover document — but could then only read that thread. His takeaway: Dot is very capable, yet struggles to understand what it can do across the tangled landscape of ChatGPT, Work, Codex, cloud threads, remote computers, and Codex execution environments.
