1.0 The Problem
Month-end inventory reconciliation for the accountant is tedious manual data entry.
2.0 Dot's Job
A business owner gets end-of-month product counts texted by employees, then has to match them to invoice pricing, pull numbers from another system, and build a spreadsheet for the accountants. The owner sent the texts to their OpenAI Dot (named "Lars"), gave it access to email and Google Sheets, and said to figure it out. They report it finished in two minutes, the work was perfect when they double-checked it, and it saved about an hour.
3.0 Caution
They double-checked the sheet before trusting it. Do the same the first few times, especially when the numbers go to an accountant.
Dot can work in the apps you connect, a bit like a new assistant. Check the first few results before you rely on the numbers.
