Constraints
Use OpenAI Dots platform with an agent named 'Lars'. Prerequisites: Dots account, connected Gmail/Google Sheets access, employee month-end text counts, invoice emails/docs, read access to another unnamed system. Author did not disclose the actual prompt.
What they did
The author forwarded all scribbled month-end employee text counts to Dots agent 'Lars', granted access to Gmail and Google Sheets, and had the agent match invoice pricing, pull numbers from another system, and fill the spreadsheet.
How it went
Author report: Agent returned completed work in two minutes; author double-checked and found it perfect, saving roughly an hour. (author_report, not site-tested)
Worth knowing
Known limitations: 1) How the 'another system' was accessed is unspecified; 2) Actual prompt text not provided; 3) Not tested by this site, reproduction=not_tested; 4) Relies on Dots platform tool-calling capabilities; actual results vary by account permissions and agent setup.
Steps
Prepare inputs and grant Dots access
Gather month-end product count texts (or screenshots) from employees. Ensure your Dots agent is connected to Gmail and Google Sheets. If pulling data from another internal system, configure that access in advance.
Assign task to agent and verify output
Send all inventory materials to your agent (e.g., 'Lars') in Dots with the goal: match invoice pricing, supplement needed data, and format a spreadsheet for accountants. Wait for the agent to return results, then manually review key figures and formulas before handing off to accounting.
