Observed in the wild: solo founder gave OpenAI Dots his ICP, calendar and inbox plus one prompt. The agent ran recurring jobs: scholar researched news/hiring/funding/tech for targets, watcher spotted signals, bouncer disqualified before outreach, builder wrote one fact-based first line per email, manager handled replies with calendar slots and produced one-page briefs. Over four days it researched 300 companies, qualified 61, sent emails, got 18 replies and booked 14 demos for $186k pipeline; nine were disqualified for size or budget.
