How to give an OpenAI dot access to your calls
A dot keeps working after you close the laptop. With your calls shared, it can read each meeting’s notes, chase the follow-ups and leave them on your list for you to approve. Dots use the SwitchDesk plugin you add in ChatGPT, so there’s nothing extra to install.
- No bot in your call
- Recorded on your Mac
- About 5 minutes to set up
After each call, add my follow-ups to SwitchDesk as one card.

Why give a dot your calls
The work after a call is small and easy to forget: the email, the file, the reminder. A dot can do the remembering, from the call’s own notes, and you keep the final say.
What to ask a dot
“After each call, add my follow-ups to SwitchDesk as one approval card.”
ChangesReads the call’s action items and sends one card you approve in a tap.
“Each evening, tell me which promises from today’s calls are still open.”
ReadsCompares today’s action items with your to-do list.
“By Friday, draft a follow-up for every client call this week.”

OpenAI dots
Ask about a call
Start with something you can check, like “After each call, add my follow-ups to SwitchDesk as one approval card.”
Want exact words? Tick “Include full transcripts” in the same place. SwitchDesk warns: “Other people’s exact words.” Then give a dot Full control, or switch Transcripts on in Fine-tune. Summaries, action items and your own notes don’t need it.
What a dot can and can’t see
| From your calls | A dot |
|---|---|
| Summaries and action items | Yes, once you share your calls |
| Your own notes from the call | Yes |
| Search across every shared call | Yes |
| Full transcripts | Only with “Include full transcripts” and Full control |
| The audio | Never |
| Calls marked “Never share this call” | Never |
| Editing or deleting your notes | Never |
Every call a dot makes shows up in Activity on your Mac. Revoke ends the connection at once.
Which calls work
Any call whose audio plays through your Mac: Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, in the browser or the app. SwitchDesk records your voice and theirs on separate tracks, so there’s no bot in the participant list. On Google Meet in Chrome, it also names who said what. How SwitchDesk records calls.
