# How to use a ChatGPT Dot with Codex: delegating tasks, overnight PRs, approvals and 94 real cases

A ChatGPT Dot can open Codex threads, follow them overnight and report to your phone, while merge and deploy wait for your yes. 94 real cases from developers, plus fixes for approvals that don't reach the task, CloudThreadNotFoundError, UNKNOWN on Codex Cloud, missing local projects and how much Codex allowance it uses.

Can a ChatGPT Dot run your Codex work? Partly: it is a good coordinator, but approvals, threads you started yourself and local tools aren't reliable yet. A 6-step setup, fixes for the common snags, one prompt to copy, and 94 real cases.

You write code with Codex and want a ChatGPT Dot (OpenAI Dots) to act as the coordinator: open Codex threads, watch them overnight, merge or review only when you say so, and tell you on your phone what is ready. Below are 94 named, first-hand cases from developers who did this in the first weeks after DevDay, each linked to the original post, video or issue. They are grouped first by the job people gave the Dot, then by where it got stuck: approvals that don't reach the task, tasks that are hard to find again, and tools missing from tasks on your own computer. The advice above comes from these cases; case numbers point to the numbered cases, and names to the others further down.
