Safety & review

House rules

Rooms are instructions your Dot follows with your accounts. So we're fussy about what gets a door.

  1. Rooms can act on your accounts. A setup from a stranger is instructions your Dot will follow using your email, calendar, code or cards. Read it before you check in.
  2. Every door lists its permissions. Each room says what it reads, what it drafts, and what it does, in plain words.
  3. Every room is reviewed by a human before it opens, and again every time it's renovated. The live version stays up until the new one is approved.
  4. Key cards, not skeleton keys. We favour drafts over actions. Spending money, messaging other people and changing records must sit behind "require approval".
  5. Your rules win. A room's Custom Rules add to your own rules and OpenAI's built-in safety requirements. They never replace them.
  6. Check out anytime. Disconnect apps a room no longer needs. Spot a bad room? Report it, and we'll pause it while we look.

Master key rooms can't be submitted without at least one "require approval" rule.

Custom Rules, the Dots way

Dots let you allow specific actions, require approval for them, or block them. Every room ships with rules in exactly that shape, so you can copy them straight across.

  • AllowThings it can just do, like reading receipts or messaging you.
  • AskThings that need your yes each time: purchases, sending to others, filing records.
  • BlockThings it must never do. Every room needs at least one.

What reviewers check

  • Access list matches what the instructions actually do
  • No hidden or undisclosed actions
  • No prompt tricks, encoded text or suspicious links
  • Money, external messages and record changes are behind approval
  • Key card level is right

Automatic flags help too: hidden characters, prompt-injection phrases, encoded text, links, bulk data exports, and money or deletion without a matching rule. Flags never approve or reject anything on their own; a person decides.

The small print

Dot Hotel is a directory, built by Vizentro. We don't run your Dot and never touch your accounts: you copy or download a room and decide what to do with it. Rooms you submit are shared under CC BY 4.0 so others can use and adapt them with credit.
