Dots are always-on OpenAI agents with their own cloud computer, browser, and plugin ecosystem. You create a dot in ChatGPT, message it from desktop, mobile, Slack, or Teams, and set Custom Rules for approvals. See Dots + OpenQuok and OpenAI's Introducing dots overview.

How are Dots different from ChatGPT MCP?

Dots can run openquok-core on a persistent cloud computer with proactive background work. ChatGPT MCP connects OpenQuok inside a chat session via a custom connector — better for ad hoc questions, not long-running scheduling on the dot computer. Many teams use both.

How do Dots compare to Grok Bot or OpenClaw?

Choose Grok Bot for many xAI teammates on one shared cloud desktop. Choose OpenClaw for self-hosted Telegram, WhatsApp, or Slack on your hardware. Choose Dots when you live in ChatGPT, Slack, or Teams and want OpenAI-managed cloud computers. See the Grok Bot vs OpenClaw guide for scenario guidance.

Which plans include Dots?

Dots roll out on eligible ChatGPT Pro, Business Premium, and Enterprise plans (workspace admins enable Enterprise). OpenQuok billing is separate — you still need a workspace and connected channels on Pricing.

How do I install openquok-core on my dot?

Install @openquok/auto-cli on the dot cloud computer, fetch SKILL.md, and register openquok-core through plugins. Follow the Dots agent guide.

Where do OpenQuok credentials live?

The CLI and auth files live on the dot cloud computer — not in Slack or Teams message history. Use OAuth device flow or a programmatic opo_ token on that computer. See OAuth2 for apps and Public API docs.

What can my dot do with OpenQuok?

Draft and schedule posts, upload media, configure plugs, and pull analytics across connected channels. See supported channels and CLI post commands.

Does my dot publish immediately or wait for approval?

It depends on you. You can ask your dot to publish now when the copy is ready, or save drafts and scheduled posts and approve them later on the OpenQuok calendar or kanban. Tell your dot to use draft-only or not to publish when you want a review step first.

OpenQuok offers a 7-day free trial on Pricing. Dots access depends on your ChatGPT plan eligibility — add openquok-core on the dot computer and connect channels in OpenQuok.

Can I try OpenQuok for free?

Yes. OpenQuok offers one 7-day free trial per payment customer so you can run social media accounts on auto-pilot before you subscribe the plan. Create an account and start today — no credit card required. Canceling and resubscribing, or creating another workspace, does not grant a second trial. Plan limits are on Pricing and in the billing limits guide; trial rules are in the Cloud trial guide.

How do I schedule social media posts with OpenQuok?

Connect channels, write in Creating posts, then pick a time on the calendar or kanban. Agents can use the CLI, agent setup guides, or MCP setup guides.

How do I connect TikTok to OpenQuok?

Sign up for free, open a workspace, and choose Connect channel → TikTok. Complete TikTok OAuth and OpenQuok stores the connection for scheduling and analytics. OpenQuok Cloud registers the TikTok app for you. For self-hosted deployments, see the self-host TikTok setup guide.

Can I schedule TikTok posts from my desktop or phone browser?

Yes. OpenQuok runs in your browser. Connect TikTok once, then use the same calendar and kanban on desktop, laptop, or mobile. You do not need a separate app. See the calendar guide and kanban board guide.

Can I set TikTok privacy, comments, duet, and stitch before scheduling?

Yes. TikTok settings in the composer let you pick privacy, toggle comments, duet, and stitch, and flag branded or AI-generated content. Choose direct publish or inbox upload when you want to finish in the TikTok app. See TikTok per-channel settings and TikTok API settings.

Does OpenQuok support TikTok carousels, not just videos?

Yes. Schedule a single MP4 video or one or more images (JPEG, PNG, or WEBP) as a photo carousel. Add an optional carousel title, turn on auto-add music for image posts, and queue the post on the calendar. Size carousel frames in the TikTok photo editor.

Can I add trending audio when scheduling TikTok?

Not through direct publish. TikTok's API does not let third-party schedulers attach trending sounds. Use inbox upload to send the clip to your TikTok inbox. Open the TikTok app, pick trending audio, and publish in about a minute. See TikTok per-channel settings, the kanban board guide, and TikTok CLI examples.

Can I schedule TikTok posts from MCP, the API, or CLI?

Yes. Connect TikTok in our web dashboard, then follow MCP setup guides (ask your assistant in chat to list integrations and queue posts), CLI setup guides, the create-post API, or TikTok CLI examples. Pass flat or nested tiktok provider settings for privacy, posting method, and media.

Can I cross-post from TikTok to other channels eg. Facebook Reels or YouTube Shorts?

Yes. Publish the same content to TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and other connected channels from one workflow. Per-platform settings are applied separately for each destination. See Supported channels.

Can I repeat-schedule TikTok posts on a cadence?

Yes. Set a repeat interval from one day up to one month when scheduling. After a TikTok post publishes, OpenQuok queues the next copy on that cadence so you can recycle evergreen clips and carousels without rebuilding each post. Plan timing tests with the TikTok best-time-to-post tool.

Can my team review TikTok drafts before they publish?

Yes. Save TikTok posts as drafts, review them on the kanban board, and move them to Scheduled when you are ready. Workspaces keep each brand's TikTok account and content separate when you manage multiple clients. See the kanban board guide and team workspaces guide.

What TikTok analytics does OpenQuok track?

OpenQuok pulls account-level TikTok metrics — followers, likes, and video count — plus aggregated views, likes, comments, and shares from your recent videos. Per-post analytics return views, likes, comments, and shares once the row is linked to a TikTok video id (posts:connect after inbox uploads). See the analytics CLI.

Is there a free trial for TikTok scheduling?

Yes. Connect TikTok in our web dashboard, schedule posts, and explore API access during the cloud free trial before upgrading to a paid plan that matches your channel and workspace limits. Plan details are on Pricing for a free tier, or self-host OpenQuok you run yourself.

What counts as a channel?

A channel is one connected social account (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, and more). Connect channels in the dashboard. Browse networks on Supported channels.

Schedule TikTok from Dots then you approve

Message Dots from Telegram, WhatsApp, or Slack. Add the openquok-core skill so it schedules TikTok posts while you review on the calendar or kanban.
