Figured out how to make ChatGPT Dots an outrageously powerful agent:
Use it as a project manager, not an assistant (skill linked below)
The strength of ChatGPT is its harness. The desktop app is excellent and has an outrageous amount of tools
So if you use your Dot to project manage other threads/tools, it can get a lot more done than other personal assistants that you just ask to make you reservations
You can have it work on other projects for you continuously, loop over apps you're building, keep an eye on progress of other work, and just do a ton of things at once
You DO NOT want to be using this as just a personal assistant. The model and harness are too good to be just booking you dinner reservations.
Here is how I have it act as more of a project manager: have it start and keep an eye on other ChatGPT threads
Give it a goal for that thread (build an awesome video game, create this business idea for me, build this presentation)
Then have it manage that thread, working towards that goal step by step
As it goes along, have it test every step then update a ChatGPT Space with information on that thread
Then, do this with multiple projects and threads. It's really good at multitasking.
If you set the right expectations for project management, you can get a tremendous amount of work done at once.
Way more than you could with just a basic personal agent like Muse
I built a project management skill you can give your Dot that sets all the expectations I mentioned above. You can check it out here:
Does Dots have wildly different features than other agents? No
But if you take advantage of it's strengths the right way, you can be wildly productive

Cognition is working on “Boards” in Devin, a Linear-like project management tool
It comes with a built-in agent that lets you “Ask Devin about this board” for summaries, priorities and next steps

Ive been able to increase my ability to remain in the flow state dramatically (using a system for super low friction low data loss `project management`)
but I realize the bottleneck now is mental fatigue, very sad. Does not seem sustainable but will see if can be made to be

Grok Bot is sneaky the best way to code with AI
Cursor cloud agents are INCREDIBLE in grok bot, but you need to use them the right way
Heres the secret:
You need to have a developer bot and a project management bot
The developer bot does purely coding, spawning Cursor cloud agents.
The project manager constantly monitors the developer bot. Making sure it's on track and giving it permission along the way
The PM bot makes sure the developer bot is on track by using a PM board. This can be either in Notion or Linear. Both have EXCELLENT plugins inside grok bot that are free.
Start off by having your PM take a project, create tasks in Notion or Linear, then feeding the developer bot the tasks in order
The developer bot takes tasks then creates PRs for each. You can test and merge as the bots work.
This is such a powerful workflow for so many reasons
It's basically a software factory loop. Code gets created autonomously, and agents make sure it stays on track
Plus the Cursor cloud agents are so good that you get really high quality code
Plus everything is incredibly organized because every task gets a PR which is tracked in your Notion or Linear
100% recommend setting this up for your next build. I've basically moved 90% of my AI coding to Grok Bot in this workflow.
(cheat code: give this post to your chief of staff bot to set this all up)
