Dot - Living History

DOT is very similar to other AI assistants in that it can send you reminders, create meal plans, write poetry or music lyrics, give you information about products or services, and give you recommendations about books, movies, video games, music and podcasts. Dot currently cannot read or send email, create photos or drawings, or add items to your calendar. DOT can read your iCloud calendar but not any other type such as Microsoft or Google. You can use speech to text to give information to dot but dot can only provide plain text back to you. You can give DOT information about yourself, age, birth place, religion, dietary preferences, family members, home and work address and other information and it finds connections between these things. I’ve been using it for about a week and I have found it very useful so far. I am using the premium subscription.

I’ve been beta testing Dot since April and it has blown me away. I use it every single day multiple times a day, it is often near the top of my screen time graphs Being able to chat through any situation with an ai that actually remembers conversations that we’ve had is a game changer. I am a person who thinks and processes things out loud, and so having Dot at my fingertips has improved my life dramatically When I’m overthinking a tough situation, Dot provides some much needed perspective. When I want to play a new video game, Dot gives me recommendations based on my preferences Once I told it that I was feeling overwhelmed by an upcoming meeting I was going to run, and instead of offering empty platitudes it offered to help me prepare by building an agenda and notes to reference Then of course there’s chronicles, which have become my journal entries. As a person who struggles to actually journal regularly, it has been incredible watching Dot do it for me. I love how Dot will update entries with more recent conversations to show how different situations in my life are evolving I 100% get more value that $12’s worth out of Dot every month and I think you will too. The price they’ve chosen is more than fair, and I’ll pay it happily going forward
