i've said grok bot beats openai dots for real work, and i still mean it, and it’s by a mile
but dots wins one thing by a mile: the voice call.
Picked my kids up from school and have a 20 min truck ride home. Put my dot on carplay, and it told my boys stories about them that it made up on the spot, it asked them questions mid-story and they were dying laughing.
grok @bot voice isn't close yet. that's the feature i want most and then i 100% would not open my dot
