dots

Constraints

Requires OpenAI dots access; connect personal email to dots; interact via natural language. Specific GitHub action permissions depend on dots' current integration scope; source does not state whether human confirmation is required.

What they did

Author Memphisbr connected an OpenAI dots agent to their personal email, which was normally full of spam they struggled to manage. dots proactively discovered a GitHub mention email from a team member that the author would have missed. The author replied to their dot (named TARS) in natural language, and the dot took action on GitHub.

How it went

The author reported going from 'potentially missing something' to 'addressing it with the simplicity of a message' (author_report). The specific GitHub action type (comment, approve, merge, etc.) was not stated.

Steps

  1. Connect personal email to dots

    Authorize dots to access your personal email in settings so the agent can read message content. The source author describes this as 'now that I have dots looking at it'; specific UI path not shown.

  2. Reply in natural language when notified

    When dots identifies important information in email (such as a GitHub mention), reply to your dot in everyday language with the action you want taken. Source example: 'as I messaged TARS back it just took action on gh'.
