Using OpenAI Dots as a background task queue
A walkthrough of a Dots setup that uses a Gmail label as a queue, with each Dot given its own cloud computer and background agents to work requests in parallel and draft replies for your review before sending.
this is free f*cking gold for anyone still treating OpenAI’s Dots like another chat window every Dot gets its own cloud computer and background agents. that only pays off when you hand it a recurring job, not a one-off question one gmail label becomes the queue. the Dot pulls up to 3 requests, oldest first, and works them while you’re away label → Dot → 2 agents in parallel → one brief → your correction gate → reply drafted it never sends and never touches your inbox. if the queue is empty, it stays quiet each agent gets only the report and its own source, plus an order to flag what it can’t open your corrections become the playbook, so a mistake you fix once never comes back after one week count three things: accepted, corrected, minutes spent reviewing. expand only on that evidence give this to your next agent setup before you open another chat to explain the same task
