burning hot take: i really liked dots. i used dots for like 2-3 days before my chatgpt sub expired, and i really loved using them. while most things felt behind grok bot, calls were really really good. dot did a lot better on voice quality + them orchestrating local agents and research. i still prefer grok bot, and i think the best OpenAI could do is just cloning most of it's things, but dots are VERY overhated imo
