User finds OpenAI's new 'Dots' feature lacking in autonomy and personality

A user shared their experience after 30 days of using OpenAI's new "Dots" feature, finding it to be a concept that requires significant improvement. The user noted that Dots often breaks down projects into minuscule tasks and halts progress until prompted, lacking the self-propulsion seen in standard ChatGPT or Gemini conversations. Despite its ability to manage multiple concurrent AI tasks, Dots reportedly shows slow progress and makes projects dependent on its functionality, necessitating manual intervention to create sustainable workflows. The user also expressed a preference for the personality and proactive assistance of regular ChatGPT over Dots, highlighting ChatGPT's ability to recall past conversations and anticipate needs. AI

IMPACT Highlights user experience challenges with new AI agent features, suggesting a need for improved autonomy and proactive assistance.
