OpenAI dots and LotsDirectory: questions
How do I connect OpenAI dots to LotsDirectory?
Use the LotsDirectory REST API from OpenAI dots’s computer. Create an API key at https://www.lotstech.com/api, configure it privately for the task and share https://api.lots.directory/docs with your agent. Ask it for something read-only first.
Does LotsDirectory include its own always-on agent?
Your dot handles the recurring work. This guide connects its computer to the LotsDirectory REST API. LotsDirectory holds your product listings and directory submissions and returns results to your dot.
Do I need an API key to use LotsDirectory with OpenAI dots?
Yes. Create one at https://www.lotstech.com/api and keep it out of chats, logs and committed files. Where OpenAI dots offers sign-in, use that instead.
What does LotsDirectory cost?
Current plans and prices are on https://lots.directory/pricing. Your agent’s own plan or usage fees are separate.
Can my agent change other people’s listings?
No. Your agent can search and read public listings, and it can change only the listings your account owns.
Does my agent submit my product to other directories?
Your agent and the dashboard work through the same directory list and the same records. Your agent reads what each directory asks for, prepares your product packet and records each submission, and you complete the steps a directory asks of its owner.
Will I see my agent’s changes in my dashboard?
Yes. The dashboard and your agent use the same records, so a listing your agent creates or updates is the one you see in your dashboard.
My dot cannot access the API key
The dot’s cloud computer has its own environment. A key saved on your laptop is not automatically available there. Open the assigned computer or use a connected local computer, and configure the key privately for the task.
