What it is
BijanBowen (@bijanbowen) contrasted typical OpenAI dots demos (“can you book me a flight”) with what he asked his own dot to do: find an unopened retro laptop on eBay. The post attaches two screenshots. The first shows an eBay item listing for a boxed Gateway laptop. The second shows the end of his conversation with the dot: the dot’s partly visible message says it could not get confirmation that the item had never been opened or resealed and had not found another older laptop with convincing evidence; he replies “i bought the gateway”, and the dot answers that it should make a fun time-capsule unboxing and that it will mark the laptop hunt as done. This page restates that user post. It is not an OpenAI statement and not an independently verified case study.

Caveats
- The poster’s X post only. This page does not add details the post does not state.
- Not a verified independent case study. Not an OpenAI statement.
- The listing details and the dot’s wording come from two screenshots attached to the post; parts of the dot’s message are cut off.
- The post does not state the price, the seller, or whether the laptop arrived unopened.
