Once connected, OpenAI dots can:
- Write articles as Markdown drafts with a title, slug, description, topics and cover or inline images, and edit them later.
- Schedule or publish a post when you say so. Saving a draft never publishes it.
- Put your blog on a custom domain such as blog.example.com, or at yoursite.com/blog with one rewrite on your own site, and check the setup status.
- Read your blog and post analytics, and invite team members with roles.
- Read and update the private blog guide that holds your audience, voice, facts and writing rules.
The LotsBlog dashboard does the whole job too: posts, topics, images, domains, analytics, appearance and team. Your agent for speed, the dashboard for control.
You need
- A ChatGPT account with dots access
- A cloud or connected computer available to your dot
- A LotsBlog API key
- A LotsBlog account. You can create one during sign-in.

Use https://api.lots.blog/docs to connect LotsBlog from your computer. Read the API reference, authenticate with my privately configured LOTSBLOG_API_KEY and list my LotsBlog blogs and their latest posts. Never include the key in messages or logs.Give your dot the brief
Tell your dot what to work on in LotsBlog. For recurring work, put the brief in the dot’s instructions. Start with read-only requests, then let it make changes.
What to ask next
- “Turn these notes into a draft article for my blog, add a cover image and send me the preview link”
- “Schedule the draft for Tuesday at 9am London time”
- “Which of last month’s posts had the most views?”
- “Connect blog.example.com to my blog and tell me which DNS record to add”
If something goes wrong
- 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.

OpenAI dots and LotsBlog: questions
How do I connect OpenAI dots to LotsBlog?
Use the LotsBlog 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.blog/docs with your agent. Ask it for something read-only first.
Does LotsBlog include its own always-on agent?
Your dot handles the recurring work. This guide connects its computer to the LotsBlog REST API. LotsBlog holds your blogs, posts, topics, images and domains and returns results to your dot.
Do I need an API key to use LotsBlog 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 LotsBlog cost?
Current plans and prices are on https://lots.blog/pricing. Your agent’s own plan or usage fees are separate.
Can my AI agent publish to my blog?
Yes. Once LotsBlog is connected, your agent can save an article as a draft, add images and topics, and publish or schedule it when you ask. Published posts go live on your LotsBlog address, your custom domain or yoursite.com/blog.
Does my agent publish anything without asking me?
No. Saving a draft never publishes it. Your agent publishes or schedules only when you tell it to, and you can do the same from the LotsBlog dashboard.
Can my agent remember my blog’s voice?
Yes. Each blog has an optional private Markdown blog guide for audience, voice, facts and writing rules. Your agent reads it with the blog, so the next chat starts with the same rules.
