AI assistant 'dot' catches tax email buried in spam before the deadline
dkundel · x · 2026-10-15
A real-world case shared by developer dkundel: a user's tax company sent an email requesting a copy of his driver's license, which landed in spam. His AI assistant "dot" detected it and proactively pushed a notification — with the October 15 deadline looming, he likely would never have seen it in time.
A small but telling example of personal AI assistants delivering value not through Q&A, but by continuously monitoring your email and intervening at the right moment.
