We've spent a week handing more of our work to ChatGPT Dots, and we're using them far more than we expected. We can give a Dot a broad request and have it start Codex jobs, steer the work and follow up. In this episode, we share what's happening inside our business, from preparing payroll to collaborating with our bots in Slack.

In this episode we break down:
→ Why Dots feels more like an assistant you can delegate to
→ Preparing payroll, remembering follow-ups and working with the team in Slack
→ Telling a Dot to find useful work and letting it manage Codex
→ Building a business website without managing all the technical setup
→ How ChatGPT's growing app experience changes the choice of AI tool

We're learning to give AI the problem and let it work out the steps.

We’ve been trying OpenAI’s latest updates, and there’s more to this DevDay than the new features. Alongside 21 new releases, the company is changing what you get for your subscription. We look at the trade-offs, including why a cheaper model can mean more actual usage even when the old plan loses value.

In this episode we break down:
→ What OpenAI’s new Dots assistant promises, and why we haven’t been able to try it yet
→ Spaces, business apps inside ChatGPT, and the risk of getting locked in
→ Gael’s experience with GPT-6.1 Sol and how it compares with Claude
→ The subscription shake-up, the $500 plan, and what cheaper models mean for usage
→ Building connected dashboards and using your ChatGPT allowance in other apps

We focus on what these changes mean for the work you actually need to get done.

Last week we were asking whether you should move from Claude to ChatGPT. This week Anthropic hit back with Opus 5.5, and Gael ran it for two and a half hours of intensive use on the $20 plan while using just 8% of his weekly limit.

But the lead is going to flip again. So instead of telling you to switch, we talk about how to run your business when the best AI model changes every few weeks.

In this episode we break down:
→ Why Opus 5.5 beats Anthropic's own top model on most benchmarks
→ How Claude went from the worst value plan to arguably the best
→ Why OpenAI's GPT-6 Sol is cheaper but not any smarter
→ How to run Claude and ChatGPT from the same folder with one agents.md
→ ChatGPT's new voice mode, now connected to your email, calendar and Stripe

The best model will keep changing. Your setup doesn't have to.
