good morning. It is great to have everyone here and everyone joining us online thank you for coming, I think this is going to be our best day yet. We have shipped a lot and you have built amazing things with it.
You find uses for those models that we have. Thought of. You've helped make our products better. You have sent us thousands of requests mostly on Twitter for ideas for ways we can improve.
We try to work through them as fast as we can. We asked us to bring codex to Linux, so we did that. Yes. [Applause.]. You asked us to work across multiple folder in one project so now you can do that too and you asked for codex on your phone so we brought it there.
It gives us a lot of joy to bill things that you find helpful and the next thing is one of the things that you've asked for the most. It's something we have been excited abtoo so let's get into it. We are kicking you have with a product that we believe is going to be a whole new way to work with AI.
It's like a helper that always has your back. It can expand your potential working 24/7 to take on delusion don't want to do so you can the focus on higher level work.
Now, you may have seen early signs of what this can look like in Christopher which you will assistants that help you book a reservation or buy a plane ticket and these are helpful but they are trivial to what the technology can do.
So we want to be more ambitious. It knows what's going on. It knows what's matters to you. You don't have to tell it every little thing to do. We want AI to feel like that.
We want to feel like magical things that it does without you having to ask. So today weariesing dots.
Gots are remarkably capable, always on agents built to handle anything you can think of. They bring i into a whole new form factor to work and give you more time and attention so you can do more things that where
Hey, I'm your Dot. I'm new in ChatGPT. I'll be hear to handle every that comes your way. Ready to jump in when you need me. >> I'm going to call you Alfred, you got it. I'm Alfred.
>> I'll keep things moving and check on things when you think it's important. The latest consumer experience numbers came in on team, I've been updating your board meeting deck.
So I've cut your migration in Mara-Lago meet notes. >> get it started but make sure you first check every flow against the current product before I review. >> Also update on wedding planning. Bad news, the cake vendor cancel.
Good news. I already found a backup. >> When can we do a tasting? >> Saturday whenever works for you. >> Hey there. You're website's updated with the new designs for the forward drop.
Check it out. >> Nice. I like that. Just walk the first and third photo and they be you can publish the site. >> Dot. You're live. >> Your board meeting deck is Redd.
Revenue is up 51 percent year over year, okay, this looks good except for change it so the consumer experience is scientist and then get into the growth serial numbers. How's I looking. >> Is it rebuild is faster in testing with no regressions so far.
>> Amaying share the team on slack. >> . >> Also the kids after-school lessons as soon as registration open. >> They'll love that. Thank you.
>> I'm going to see if we can reschedule. >> Okay, please. I can't miss that recital. >> I'll start prepping your notes now.
[Applause.]. >> What feel new about my dot is it gets know how I like to work over time and where I want to focus my attention. It can do things like review what came in overnight and ping me with anything urgent before I start my day.
I'll be really surprised what that makes my life feels like. It's the way I've always wanted to work with AI. The of course, dots can take care of the small things like the plane ticket or time for dinner or help with the home Vegas.
But you can delegate ambitious pieces of work. You just give dot the responsibility, like monitor incoming bug reports, test fixes in draft PRCs.
Kick off next year's butt planning cycle. Find out what's slowing down our app. Your dots will get to work and keep working.
So here's a good example. Get the app off legacy A PI before it shuts down.
But dot can trace the dependencies and figure out everything that needs to change. They can write the code, run the tests and bring our poll request to review.
Think about how you would have done that the old way. How many people would have been involved. Now, imagine having dots do that for everything you can think of dot's on board with everything they need to get to work.
They follow your access, they have their open computer in the cloud and they can write and test coding as needed. In the future you can work with a team of dots. You also don't need to be in ChatGPT to talk to your dot.
Coming soon you'll be able to send a text message, it will text you back. It can text updates and ask to weigh in on a decision. You can even give your dot a call and talk with it directly.
When you on board your dot it gets to use the same plug ins you've already connected. It can follow with your work wherever it happens. Through all of this it can you someday in control. Dots are powered by Astra and they are built this protections and safe safeguards and you can customize instructions. So this allows you to trust your dot with as much responsibility as
you're comfortable with. To that's dots. Dots are very tied to get things done but you need a space to collaborate with your team and their dots and the problem are here is that almost all productivity 1069 ware was not built for AI and people to work well together.
