How to Use Your Dot: Start Small, Review, Then Save

Check that dots is available in your account and that you can sign in on the device you plan to use. Access and supported connections vary. Use the official getting-started and connection guides below for your current account.

For a first exercise, paste a short passage you are authorized to use. If you use a file instead, ask your dot to identify the file it can read. Naming a folder does not establish access, and a file on one computer is not automatically on another.

Begin with the focused-paragraph tutorial below. It gives you a short fictional passage and a request that preserves the facts while improving the wording. Ask for a proposed replacement in the conversation before changing the original document.

You are ready to move on when you can explain what changed, confirm that no fact or deadline changed, and choose whether to use the result. A shorter paragraph is not automatically a more accurate one.

Next, use the meeting-notes tutorial. Ask your dot to separate decisions, agreed actions, suggestions and open questions. Keep missing owners and dates marked as missing.

Review every action against the supporting note. The exercise is complete when the list preserves the actual commitments, not when every cell in a table is filled. Keep sending and assigning as separate decisions.

Then try the onboarding-checklist tutorial. Identify the current files, the intended reader and the source for every proposed step. Ask for conflicting instructions and missing details in a separate list.

Open the references yourself. Confirm which version to use and whether the intended reader can access it. Do not let a tidy checklist turn a suggestion into a new policy.

At The AI Mastery Hub, the October 12 website redesign went through owner feedback on branding and readable text before release. Three article drafts were separately approved and then checked on their live pages. Those are real publishing examples; the tutorial prompts remain labeled fictional practice.

The lesson for your first task is small: review the content and verify the destination. If you ask your dot to save a file through a supported connection, agree on the location, open the saved file and check that you know how to return to it. If you apply the text yourself, perform the same check.

A reusable request is: “Use only the source I provided. Prepare the result here for my review. Mark anything the source does not establish. Do not edit files, send messages or schedule anything yet.” This is a suggested practice prompt, not a recorded product test.

After review, give a separate, specific instruction for the next action you want. Check the result afterward. For this beginner path, one accurate reviewed draft is enough; you do not need to connect every app or set up a recurring task.
