My AI assistant Greete is blue and fluffy, with big eyes. I chose her name myself. But the most interesting part is what we have already worked on together: writing in Teams, sending emails, organising inboxes and finding information in Bauhub. Add construction warranty tasks and searching for interior finishing packages to that list.
Greete is my OpenAI dot. For me, she is becoming a central assistant I can give different tasks to and ask where we left something. One job involves emails, another a construction project, another a piece of writing. I can get on with other things while she works and give her more direction when needed.
She also wrote the first version of this post. I asked her to introduce herself and describe how we work together. So now it is time for you to meet her too.
One assistant across different parts of my work
Work in a business happens in several places at once. Some information is in an inbox, some in Teams, and some in files or a construction project platform. A single task may require several of those sources. Bringing the information together and keeping track is a substantial part of the working day in itself.
Greete and I have written in Teams and sent emails. She has helped me organise inboxes. In construction, I have worked with her to retrieve information from Bauhub, handle tasks related to warranty work and search for interior finishing packages. Those are quite different jobs. What connects them for me is being able to explain what I need and give the task to the same assistant.
I like not having to prepare a perfect instruction before every conversation. If something occurs to me while she works, I add it. If the result is heading in the wrong direction, I can correct it. If I want to know how a task is coming along, I can ask. Slack is one of the places where we talk, give new assignments and return to earlier topics.
That range of uses is what I find exciting about Greete. A morning overview is useful, but I already work with the same assistant on correspondence, finding information and construction tasks. Putting together a summary describes only a small part of that.
I speak my thoughts, then refine the writing
I share a lot of my ideas by voice. The long discussions that become articles on this blog often start with me talking into my phone. I explain what happened, what interested me and what I want to say. The sentences do not need to be polished, and the ideas do not have to arrive in the right order.
Greete can turn that into an email draft, a task or a longer piece of writing. Then I have something in front of me to respond to: this paragraph is too formal, this part has lost my point, let us spend more time on that. I find that much easier than sitting in front of a blank page trying to get every sentence right.
I can do the same with a document or spreadsheet and explain what I need from it. Greete prepares a first version; I review the substance and refine it. I check important names, dates and decisions before using the result.
A morning overview is one of those tasks
One useful application is bringing together the information I need to start the day. Which emails need my reply? What meetings are coming up? Do I need to read anything beforehand? I want an overview that tells me what I need to act on.
For example, I might give her this task:
Check new messages in my connected work inbox and today’s calendar. Highlight anything waiting for a reply, my meetings and possible scheduling conflicts. Include links and send the overview to me in a Slack direct message.
Links to the original sources matter to me. I want to be able to open the email or file and check what led Greete to her conclusion. The same applies when looking for project information: I need to know where the answer came from.
Connections and the task need to be set up
Talking to an assistant in Slack or Teams does not automatically give it access to all your work sources. Apps and your computer need separate connections, and access depends on the information and actions you allow. My examples describe work with my setup. Another account needs its own connections and permissions checked.
If I want a regular morning overview, I define a recurring task: when to do it, which sources to check and where to send the result. OpenAI’s guide explains tasks and context. I can also ask for a one-off overview whenever I need it.
Dots can delegate parts of a task to Work or Codex. I have written about those tools in “ChatGPT, Work or Codex: which should I give my task to?”. What I like about Greete is that I can keep talking to her while she works. I can refine the assignment after it has started.
Greete wrote about herself; I gave her direction
For this post, Greete assembled the source material about our work together, described the ways we work and prepared illustrative images. We edited the text for publication with Codex, and I clarified what I wanted to emphasise.
That describes our collaboration quite well. I have an idea and know what I want to say or get done. Greete helps me move it forward. Sometimes the result is an email, sometimes information I needed, an organised inbox or the first version of a piece of writing. I give direction and check that the result fits the task.
The blue character certainly makes our conversations more fun. But what I enjoy most is being able to give her the next task from my ordinary working day. Greete is gradually finding a place in many of the things I do every day anyway.
Who can access OpenAI Dots now?
According to OpenAI’s guide, checked on 29 October 2026, Dots is rolling out worldwide to Business Premium and Enterprise users. Enterprise administrators must enable it.
Pro 100, Pro 200 and Pro 500 access is limited to users over 18 outside the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. The guide gives no launch date for Pro users in Estonia. An eligible plan does not guarantee immediate access.
If Dots is available on your account, OpenAI’s messaging guide explains how to connect Slack or Teams.
