ChatGPT's Dot Reviewed: Your Chief of Staff Is Still Just a Codex Wrapper
infinitely_zero · reddit · 2026-10-16
After three weeks with OpenAI's Dot, the reviewer concludes it's the right shape for agentic AI but currently "just a Codex wrapper": it removes friction and coordination pain (calls are a highlight) while exacerbating the messy ChatGPT app, with weird sandboxing and opaque status. The bigger question is competition — Meta's Muse has caught up to the frontier with strong product sense, hardware extensions, and ad-funded economics that can subsidize it indefinitely, making the personal-AI-agent race brutal for OpenAI.
