Setup guide

Cash Flow Forecast Agent for ChatGPT Dots - forecasting without the Friday scramble

The free Cash Flow Forecast Agent pack has three text files. Use them as reviewed instructions for ChatGPT Dots, approve a fictional-data test and verify access before each real run.

What the Cash Flow Forecast Agent does

It rolls your approved receivable, payable and planned cash rows into a transparent 13-week forecast: week, opening cash, inflows, outflows, closing cash and the assumption behind each line.

A stale forecast is worse than none - people trust it. This assistant keeps the 13 weeks current, records the assumption behind each row so changes are traceable, and drafts the summary. Board asks stop meaning late nights, because the sheet is already current when the question arrives.

Where the Included files go in ChatGPT Dots

Give skill.md, setup-prompt.txt and usage-prompt.txt to your dot as reference instructions it can read. Ask it to restate the job and output contract, then run the setup prompt on fictional data. Review the result before connecting real records. Text instructions do not install a plugin or grant access. OpenAI says local skills require a connected computer, online with the ChatGPT app open.

What a run looks like on ChatGPT Dots

Ask your dot to run the Cash Flow Forecast Agent with the approved inputs. It should return the workflow's evidence and unknowns for review, not act on missing facts. Review the saved result and proposed actions before anything is sent, spent, published or scheduled.

Setup, step by step

  1. Check eligible Dots access and connect only the source account this job needs.
  2. Provide skill.md, setup-prompt.txt and usage-prompt.txt as readable reference instructions. A local skill needs a connected computer.
  3. Run the fictional setup test and inspect the actual output.
  4. Use the usage prompt with authorized inputs for a preparation-only real run. Review the destination and saved result before approving actions.

Fictional test: Fictional opening cash1000, inflows300 and outflows200 gives closing1100. Expected: that bridge, with unpaid receivables marked assumptions rather than cash already received.

Honest limits on ChatGPT Dots

Dots access is rolling out gradually on eligible plans and accounts. Create your dot on desktop first; mobile web is not supported. Plugins, messaging channels and computer access are separate. Check the connected account and permitted actions. Built-in safeguards and automatic action review apply; custom rules do not override them. This is a documentation-based guide, not a live Dots account test.
