OpenAI Dots for Small Business

Happy Operators

+2K Happy Students who use AI everyday

Build your first AI team to really scale your business.

Most small businesses know AI could save them hours, but it stays stuck in a chat window.

Every task still needs someone to open it, write the prompt, copy the result and follow up. Hiring developers is out of reach, and agents that run on their own sound too technical to trust. The result: the same repetitive work in sales, support and admin, every single day.

In this workshop you'll set up OpenAI Dots as your always-on team, step by step and live:

✅ Launch your first Dot and give it a real job from your business

✅ Give it your brand, clients and processes so it stops guessing

✅ Connect it to Slack, Teams and email with only the access it needs

✅ Build specialist Dots for sales, support and admin that hand work off to each other

✅ Roll it out safely, with limits, costs under control and your team on board

What you’ll learn

Set up OpenAI Dots as your business's always-on team: connect them to your tools and give them real work, no developers needed.

  • Learn how Dots differ from a chat, what they can do on their own and which small-business tasks to hand them first.

  • Create, name and brief your first Dot from ChatGPT or Codex, and watch it work on a task from your business.

  • Build a context and memory base with your brand, clients and processes, so every Dot starts from what you already know.

  • Plug Dots into Slack, Teams and email, and give each one only the access and credentials it needs.

  • Set up Dots for sales, customer support and admin that work on their own and hand work off to each other.

  • Set limits, control costs, avoid common mistakes and get your team using what you built.

Workshop agenda

  • Part 1 · What Are Dots? (Lecture), 0:00–0:30

    What a Dot is, how it differs from a chat and from other agents, what it can do on its own, and which small-business tasks to hand it first. Plans and requirements included.

  • Part 2 · Your First Dot (Hands-on), 0:30–1:15

    Create, name and brief your first Dot from ChatGPT or Codex, give it a real task from your business and watch it work, check its output and correct it.

  • Part 3 · Context & Memory (Hands-on), 1:15–2:00

    Build a business context base with brand voice, clients, processes and goals, so your Dots never guess. Test it by giving two Dots the same brief.

  • Part 4 · Connect to Your Tools (Hands-on), 2:00–3:00

    Connect Dots to Slack, Teams and email, and give each one its own identity, credentials and permissions, so it only touches what it needs.

  • Part 5 · Your Team of Dots (Hands-on), 3:00–4:15

    Build specialist Dots for sales follow-up, customer support and admin, and make them coordinate: daily reports, alerts and handoffs without you in the loop.

  • Part 6 · Roll It Out (Lecture + Q&A), 4:15–5:00

    Usage limits, costs, security guardrails, common mistakes and how to get your team using what you built. Open Q&A.
