Grok Bot news for beginners

OpenAI launched dots, always-on agents in ChatGPT with their own cloud computer. Here is what dots are, who can get one, and how they line up with Grok Bot, using only what each company has published.

Official privacy and computer docs warn that sidebar hide is not the same as stopping scheduled work. Pause routines on purpose when a job should sleep.

Official docs say a routine can run on a schedule or when an event arrives, even while you are gone. Saving a skill first, then wiring the routine, keeps the repeatable work honest.

Official first-task advice is to attach the source and name the artifact. Ask for headings, columns, citations, and a rule not to change the source file. Review that file before you add sends or a routine.

Official sharing packages instructions, selected memories, skills, and plugins. It does not hand over your computer, logins, or chat history. A public share link shows that config, so strip secrets before you copy it.

Official order is one successful pass, then a saved method with sources and the approval rule, then a schedule. A skill is how. A routine is when. Missing source data should report failure, not reuse old data.
