Have the dots agent prepare your morning calendar summary in 7 minutes

Set up your first persistent AI agent in ChatGPT to gather upcoming meetings and important tasks into a single daily message

  1. 1.Make sure you have access to dots. This feature is included in the Pro and Business Premium plans and is unavailable on the free plan. Open the ChatGPT app on your desktop or in your browser.

    If the service is unavailable in your region, try connecting via a VPN or wait for the list of supported countries to expand.

  2. 2.Create your first dot. Click the dots icon in the sidebar or look for an invitation to create a dot on the ChatGPT home screen. Give it a name for easy reference.

    The feature is gradually rolling out to all users on eligible plans; if you do not see it, update the app or check your account in a day or two.

  3. 3.Open the dot profile and go to the «Customize - Plugins» section. Connect the «Google Calendar» app (or another calendar) and keep read-only permissions so the agent cannot change events without asking.

    Connecting apps requires authorization through your account. Make sure you only grant access to the data needed for the task.

  4. 4.Return to the chat with your dot and send it the first assignment. Copy the text below and replace the placeholders in square brackets with your details.

    Ask the agent to operate only in read and draft mode, so nothing is sent without your approval.

    Prompt
    Every weekday at 8:00 AM in [YOUR_TIMEZONE], review my connected calendar for today and tomorrow. Create a brief summary of all scheduled meetings, including time, title, participants, and location/link. Highlight any back-to-back meetings or early morning starts. Send me this summary as a message in ChatGPT. Do not send any emails or messages on my behalf. Confirm the schedule you saved.
    What this prompt doesThis prompt asks the dot to read your calendar daily at 8:00 AM in your timezone and send a summary of meetings for today and tomorrow. Replace [YOUR_TIMEZONE] with your timezone, for example Europe/Moscow.
  5. 5.Verify that the dot has saved the schedule. Open the dot profile, go to the «Scheduled» section and make sure the task appears in the active list at the correct time.

    If the task does not appear, ask the dot in the chat to confirm which schedule it saved and specify the timezone again.

  6. 6.Open the dot computer (the «Computer» section in the profile) to see how it executes the first task. You can watch its actions in real time.

    If you want to pause the task, use the Pause button in Activity. This does not disable the schedule - to fully stop it, disable the task in the «Scheduled» section.
