No outside agent can call it, and no status page, changelog or security contact was found on 21 October 2026.\n\n**Dots.** Actions that affect accounts or share information pass an automatic review, and custom rules can require approval or a hand-off. Dots is a beta on Pro plans from $100 a month, and no status page, terms, privacy policy or way to delete individual saved notes was found in the pages we could read.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Lobby\n\n1. Don't plan to call Lobby from another agent. It works only inside its own app for the signed-in owner.\n2. Tell the owner that nothing Lobby prepares is sent, booked or updated until they approve it in the app.\n3. Check whether the 7-day trial takes a card before signing the owner up. The terms don't say.\n\n### Dots\n\n1. Say what may be sent. Asking a dot to draft replies does not permit sending them, and an action outside a stated scope needs another decision\n2. Stop three things separately. Pause stops the main task only, delegated tasks stop in Activity and recurring tasks in Scheduled, and completed actions are not undone\n3. Connect each thing separately. A messaging channel grants no access to an inbox, an app or a computer\n4. Sign out of websites and disconnect apps yourself when removing access. Revoking dots access or disconnecting an app does not delete information already obtained\n5. Keep the connected computer online with the ChatGPT app open for local work. Only one personal computer can be connected at a time\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Lobby or Dots?\n\nDots scores 28.3 (F) on agent readiness against Lobby's 11.1 (F), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Lobby leads on reliability, payments \u0026 pricing and transparency \u0026 trust.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lobby-os-vs-openai-dots.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lobby-os-vs-openai-dots.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"lobby-os\", \"b\": \"openai-dots\"}`.

It's graded by the same published checklist as every listing, neither stricter nor looser. Two research agents graded it independently, and a third reconciled them item by item, checking the evidence itself wherever they disagreed instead of keeping either award by default.\n",
