What they did

Some sites block agents in the cloud. His fix: ChatGPT Dots is his one chat for everything, from voice notes and screenshots to work bugs and travel admin. It's connected to GitHub, Slack, email and docs. When a task needs a logged-in site or one that blocks Dots, it hands the job to Codex on his laptop as soon as it's online, for things like filling out a visa application. He enters passwords himself.

How it went

One chat for all requests, with laptop-only tasks handed off automatically.

Worth knowing

  • One person's X post. He is building a finance app (in bio), but the post doesn't pitch it. Dots usage being free may change.

Prompt

Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.

You're my main assistant. I'll send voice notes and screenshots. For each request: 1) Handle it yourself if you can. 2) If it needs a site that blocks you or needs my login, write a clear task for Codex on my laptop with all the context, and send it when my laptop is online. 3) Never enter passwords; ask me. 4) Give me a short daily summary of what's done and what's waiting on me.

  2. Open Grok Bot chat and paste it. Replace any [bracketed] placeholders.
  3. Connect the listed tools (Slack, GitHub, Email) as connectors when Grok Bot asks.
  4. If the task repeats, ask: "Make this a daily routine."

Alternatives: the same prompt works in ChatGPT Dots, Codex, Claude, ChatGPT Agent, OpenClaw.

Grok Bot One-Shot a 17-Page Solar Permit Drawing Set in Under 5 Minutes

An engineer gave Grok Bot his house drawings, the original solar plans and a Powerwall expansion permit (mostly PDFs plus DXF files). When a contractor was slow to quote, he asked the bot if it could do the job; it asked for a few numbers, then produced a 17-page B-size permit drawing package in under 5 minutes, including a roof layout and one-line wiring drawings made from scratch. He checked every line and planned to submit after getting a PE stamp for the structural parts.
