Original Summary

Hey HN, I&#x27;m Demetrius.<p>When OpenAI launched Dots (always-on agents in ChatGPT that run in the background, connect to your apps, and ask before risky actions), I wanted to set one up and went looking for examples of what other people were telling theirs. I couldn&#x27;t find any.<p>Each Dot comes down to three things: its instructions, the apps it can reach, and Custom Rules (Allow &#x2F; Require approval &#x2F; Block). The rules matter most, because they decide what the agent does without asking you. They&#x27;re also the part nobody was sharing.<p>So I built DotBotDirectory.<p>Each entry has the Dot&#x27;s job, its instructions, its connected apps, and its three rule lists. One click copies the instructions and rules together so you can paste them into your own Dot.<p>Where it stands:<p>- 26 starter entries, written by me from ideas people published in early Dot write-ups. Each one credits its source.<p>- None of them have been tested on a real Dot yet, and they&#x27;re labelled &quot;Starter - untested&quot;. I&#x27;ll mark entries as tested once someone confirms one works.<p>- Copy counts start at zero, so nothing looks more popular than it is.<p>- Free, and not affiliated with OpenAI.<p>Two questions for anyone who has run a Dot:<p>1. What did you put in Require approval vs Block? That&#x27;s where I think most of the value is.<p>2. Did your Dot ever do something you didn&#x27;t expect? I&#x27;d like to turn those cases into rules other people can copy.<p>Happy to answer anything.
