Try it yourself with Dots
Keep track of my background tasks in this conversation: [list tasks, e.g. gather tax documents, follow up on a refund from vendor X]. Check in on each at a sensible cadence and remind me proactively, for example to send [documents] to [accountant name] by [date] and to check the status of [refund details]. Give me a short status update every [frequency] and mark items done when I confirm. Before emailing or contacting anyone on my behalf, show me the message and wait for approval.
