ChatGPT Space and Pages: how to use your dot in a page

Call your dot into a ChatGPT Space page with an @ mention in a comment, have it build a page from your conversation, and save a schedule that keeps it current.

On this page

A page is a document in ChatGPT Space that you, your teammates and your dot can all edit. To put your dot to work on one, mention it in a comment on the page, or ask for the page in your dot's conversation.

#What a page looks like with your dot in it

A page is an ordinary document: a title, text, tables, charts. You find pages in Space, the second icon in ChatGPT's left rail. This one has a dot writing into it right now.

The lower part of a page: a collapsed Instructions block, an FAQ heading with nothing under it yet, and at the bottom a pill reading Working for 20s, Thinking...Marker 1Marker 2
  1. The pill counts up while your dot works: "Working for 20s", then "Thinking...".
  2. The FAQ heading is there and the answers aren't yet. They appear as your dot writes them.

Your dot edits the same document you do.

#Ask your dot from a comment

Once a page exists, a comment is the most exact way to ask for a change, because it stays attached to the part of the page it's about.

Walkthrough

Mention your dot in a comment

  1. A page with a heading, Customer Feedback, and a chart under it. In the right margin, level with the heading, an empty box reads Add a comment...
    Image: OpenAI

    1Start a comment beside the block

    Click Add a comment... in the margin next to the chart or paragraph you want changed. For a few words inside a paragraph, select them first and click Comment in the toolbar that appears.

  2. A comment box in the margin of a page, beside an FAQ, with @do typed in it. Above it a picker lists a dot named dottie first and a teammate, blurred, below
    Image: OpenAI

    2Type @ and pick your dot

    Type @ and the first letters of your dot's name. A picker opens with your dot at the top and your teammates under it. Click your dot, or type @dot.

  3. The posted comment in the margin: You, 1m, Edited. @Holly's dot Actually turn this into a bar chart, please? A Reply box sits under it.Marker 1Marker 2
    1. Once sent, the mention reads as your first name plus "dot".
    2. Follow up in Reply... and the thread stays together.

    3Write the request and send it

    Say what you want, as you would in the conversation, and click the arrow. Your dot answers in the thread, with a reaction on your comment or a short reply such as "On it!".

  4. The same page. At the bottom right of the chart a notice shows a green tick, the name dottie and the word done
    Image: OpenAI

    4Wait for done

    When your dot finishes, a small notice shows a green tick, your dot's name and "done". Read the change before you move on. Names, dates and sums are worth a second look.

  5. A dot's conversation. The dot writes: I've added the three-question FAQ to Strategy for Shared Listening, with Slack links. It's ready for your review. Below, two requests from the owner each begin From Strategy for Shared Listening and end with the label Sent in page
    Image: OpenAI

    5Find the request in your dot's conversation

    Open your dot's conversation. The request you made on the page is there too, labeled Sent in page, next to your dot's report on what it did.

A comment that mentions a teammate is a note to that person. A comment that mentions your dot is a request it acts on, so check the name before you send.

#Pick the place to ask

A comment suits a change to something that's already on the page. For anything else there are two more places to ask. Pick a job and see which one fits.

Where do you ask?

Pick what you want done to the page. The drawing lights up the place to ask, and you get the words to send.

What do you want done?

Comment on the passage

A comment stays attached to the words it's about, so your dot knows exactly which sentence you mean.

  1. Select the text.
  2. Click Comment in the toolbar that appears.
  3. Type @, pick your dot, and write what you want.
@dot check this date against the venue emails and correct it if it's wrong. Tell me what you changed.

Comment on the block

A chart takes a comment the same way a sentence does. The block is highlighted once the comment is posted, so there's no doubt which one you mean.

  1. Click Add a comment... in the margin beside the block.
  2. Type @, pick your dot, and say what to change.
@dot turn this into a bar chart, one bar per team. Keep the same data.

Mention your dot in the page itself

For something that isn't there yet, there's nothing to comment on. Ask on an empty line, where the new content should go.

  1. Click an empty line in the page.
  2. Type @dot and your request.
@dot list the open questions on this page and suggest a next step for each one.

Ask in your dot's conversation

A new page starts from a job, and jobs are handed over in the conversation. Your dot makes the page, replies with a link, and the page opens beside the chat.

  1. Open your dot's conversation.
  2. Say what the page is for and what goes in it.
Make a new page called Offsite plan. Put in what you've found so far: the venue, the dates, who has confirmed. Send me the link.

Ask your dot for a schedule

A page doesn't update itself because a sentence on it says so. A saved schedule does that. Ask for one in the conversation, or click the clock at the top of the page and type the same request there.

  1. Open your dot's conversation.
  2. Name the page, what to check and how often.
  3. Find the saved task on the Scheduled page.
Every weekday at 9am, check the #offsite channel and my venue emails, then update the Offsite plan page. Message me only if a date or a price changed.
Try "Keep the page up to date": two places light up, and only one of them is on the page. Open on its own page

#Get a page made from the conversation

For a new page, start in your dot's conversation. This owner had a search running and asked for the results in a page.

Left, a dot's conversation. The owner asks: whenever you monitor for camper vans, I want you to track all the results inside of a brand new page that we can call camper vans. Add what you have up until now in there, and then every time we monitor, append new info in there. The dot answers: I'll create Camper Vans with the listings found so far and link the hourly checks to it. Right, the page Camper Vans, open beside the chatMarker 1Marker 2Marker 3
  1. The request names the page, what goes in it and what to add later.
  2. Your dot says what it will do, including tying its hourly check to the page.
  3. The page opens beside the conversation.

Your dot also makes one page without being asked: a scratchpad of your projects and to-dos, sent as a link card within a day of setup.

#Keep a page up to date

A page like that one stays current because a schedule was saved for it. Ask your dot for the schedule in the conversation, or use the clock at the top of the page.

The top of a page. The toolbar on the right has a clock icon, a comment icon, an account picture, Share, an expand icon and a close button. Under the clock a tooltip reads Schedule updates to this page
Image: The AI Advantage

The clock opens a small chat titled Schedule updates. There's no form: you type the schedule as a sentence, such as "Check our Slack channel for updates every day at 9 AM."

Whichever way you asked, check that the schedule exists:

  1. Open Scheduled, the clock icon in ChatGPT's left rail.
  2. Find the task, under your own tasks or in the group with your dot's name.
  3. After the first run, open the page and read what changed.

#What works in Space today

Space is new, and a few parts aren't there yet.

You want to Today

Space replaces Library on accounts that have it. Projects stay separate.

#Check you've got it

One question before you move on.

Predict

You type "Update this page every Monday morning" into a page's instructions and close it. What happens next Monday?

  • The page updates itself
  • Nothing, unless a schedule was saved
  • Your dot asks you whether to update it
Show the answer

Nothing, unless a schedule was saved

A sentence on a page doesn't save a schedule. A schedule is a saved task, and every saved task shows on the Scheduled page. If yours isn't listed there, ask your dot for it in the conversation.

A sentence on a page doesn't save a schedule. A schedule is a saved task, and every saved task shows on the Scheduled page. If yours isn't listed there, ask your dot for it in the conversation.

#Next step

A page stays current only while its schedule runs. Schedules have a lesson of their own.

Do I need a dot to use Space?

No. Space comes with Pro, Business and Enterprise, and you can work on pages with ChatGPT alone. A dot is separate: on Business, for example, only Premium seats include one.

Who can see what my dot writes on a page?

Everyone who can view the page. That includes details your dot pulled from your email, your files or its memory, so read its changes before you click Share. Sharing a page doesn't share your chats or your ChatGPT memory.

Can a teammate's dot work on a page I shared?

Each collaborator works with their own ChatGPT. A teammate's dot has that teammate's apps and instructions, not yours, and a person needs edit access to change the page.
