Constraints

Authorize dots to access your email, calendar, Google Sheets, and other data sources. Describe the event type and time constraints through the chat interface, and let AI automatically filter contacts, send invitations, and follow up. No manual prompt writing required.

What they did

User Allie K. Miller had dots scan her recent emails, calendar events, meeting transcripts, Google Sheets, and party invitations—basically anything it could review—to find people to reach out to. She specifically asked it to prioritize not just recent conversations but friends who would be down for a 'strange experiment.' The first four candidates were sick or out of town. After she reminded it that she had less than 24 hours, dots pinged two friends. One replied saying she was in, and dots coordinated the whole thing over email.

How it went

Author report: dots successfully found one friend willing to participate and automatically coordinated the arrangements via email. The author had been concerned it would reach out to 50 people or near strangers she had only shared one recent email with, but the actual outreach was more targeted (author_report).

Worth knowing

dots' contact filtering logic considers both interaction recency and activity match, but the specific algorithm is not transparent. Early candidates may be unavailable due to circumstances, so build in buffer time. The author did not state whether AI-sent emails were pre-reviewed; sensitive invitations should be confirmed before auto-send. The source does not report whether the experiment actually took place.

Steps

  1. Connect and authorize data sources

    In dots settings, authorize access to your Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Sheets, meeting transcripts, and other data sources so the AI can read recent emails, calendar events, party invitations, and spreadsheet contents.

  2. Describe the event and time constraints

    Tell dots what type of activity you want to organize (e.g., the author's 'strange experiment') and any hard deadline (e.g., 'less than 24 hours'). The AI will prioritize friends who have recent interactions and are likely to be interested in that type of activity.

  3. Let AI execute invitations and confirm

    dots automatically emails the filtered contacts; upon receiving a confirmation reply, it coordinates the details over email. You can view outreach progress and response status in the app. For the first run, ask dots to show you the filtered contact list and the draft invite email and wait for your OK before it sends anything; only let it email automatically after that test looks right.
