Observed in the wild: someone kept one main conversation with the dot. The dot coordinated other threads in the background on its own and sent proactive messages reminding Someone to send quarterly documents to the accountant and check on a refund. Someone located the single-conversation coordination convenient and the reminders magical, with no metrics or shortfalls stated.

How you could try it
Here is a reusable prompt, written by us in our own words, that captures the task. Paste it into Dots or any similar agent and adjust the details to your situation.
Finance task: coordinate background threads and send admin reminders. Tabulate numbers, mark uncertainties, and do not file, pay, or submit until I confirm.
Tip: Keep the agent in 'propose, don't pay' mode: let it gather numbers and draft messages, and approve any payment or account change yourself.
