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**Orbits.** Orbits is a family household app whose assistant, Bit, runs shared calendars, lists and meals, reads household email and places restaurant calls after approval, with iOS releases every week or two. No outside agent can call it, prices appear only as App Store in-app purchases, and no status page, security contact or named subprocessors were found.\n\n## Before you call either\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### Orbits\n\n1. Don't plan to call Orbits from another agent. llms.txt says no public agent API is offered.\n2. Tell the owner the assistant needs an Orbits subscription bought in the app, and that any trial appears only at purchase.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Dots or Orbits?\n\nDots scores 28.3 (F) on agent readiness against Orbits's 15.6 (F), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories.
