OpenAI adds multi-computer support to dot and suggests app testing uses
Overview
OpenAI says dot now lets users connect multiple local computers and choose which one handles a given task.
OpenAI Developers gives app testing as an example: a dedicated machine can build and test an app while the user keeps coding on a laptop.
In a separate post, OpenAI suggests asking a dot to test an Xcode change on a second Mac and send back screenshots, or to run the same test on a machine with an older SDK for comparison. It also suggests having dot click through a UI flow on another computer to find where things break, which leaves the user's own screen and cursor free.
