dotty Session Notifications

What is dotty?

dotty is a developer tool that lets you monitor and control AI coding agents via phone calls and text messages. When your coding session needs attention — a task completes, hits a blocker, or encounters an error — dotty can notify you by SMS or voice call.

How You Opt In

After creating an account at dotty.bot, you are prompted to add your phone number in the onboarding wizard on your dashboard. Before your number can be submitted, you must check an SMS consent checkbox that reads:

I agree to receive SMS messages from dotty, including verification codes and session notifications. Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Consent is not required to use dotty. See our Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, and SMS Program.

The "Send Verification Code" button is disabled until this checkbox is checked. You must actively opt in before any SMS is sent to your number.

What Messages You Receive

  • Verification codes — One-time 6-digit codes when you add or change your phone number
  • Session notifications — Alerts when your coding session completes a task, hits a blocker, or encounters an error (if you have notifications enabled)
  • Command responses — Replies to SMS commands you send to the dotty number (e.g. "status", "quiet")

Message Frequency

Message frequency varies based on your coding session activity. Verification codes are sent only when you register or change your phone number. Session notifications depend on your configured preferences and how active your coding sessions are.

Message and Data Rates

Message and data rates may apply. Contact your wireless carrier for details about your messaging plan.

How to Opt Out

You can stop receiving SMS messages at any time by:

  • Replying STOP to any message from dotty
  • Disabling SMS notifications in your dashboard settings
  • Texting "quiet" to the dotty number

After opting out, you will receive one final confirmation message and no further SMS.

Help

Reply HELP to any message for assistance, or contact support@dotty.bot.

Supported Carriers

Compatible with all major US carriers including AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and most regional carriers.

Consent

Consent to receive SMS messages is not a condition of using dotty. You may use the dotty dashboard and CLI agent without providing a phone number.

Privacy

We do not sell, share, or rent your phone number or SMS opt-in consent information with any third parties for marketing or promotional purposes. Your phone number is used exclusively by dotty and shared only with our SMS service provider (Twilio) solely for the purpose of delivering messages you have opted into. See our full Privacy Policy.
