What it is
Priyaa (@pritopian) posted about appshots for iOS, built with dots and Shortcuts. The post says that saying “Hey Siri, run dots” makes Siri take a screenshot and send it to the dot, which handles the rest in the background. Examples in the post: it finds the shoes a woman in a reel was wearing, signs up for a free gym class from an ad, orders a book mentioned in a podcast, and saves a video referenced in an X post to watch later. The post says the dot reads the screenshot, listens to voice notes, and uses its own browser to look up YouTube videos and X posts. For walled apps like Instagram, the poster gave the dot its own account. Results are saved to a ChatGPT Site and a Google Doc. Because an iOS shortcut cannot talk to dots directly, the shortcut emails the screenshot to an inbox that the dot checks regularly. The poster says the accuracy has been great.
