You can't create it on your phone.
Set it up in the ChatGPT desktop app or a desktop browser first. Then it works in the mobile app.
Eligible doesn't mean you have it yet.
OpenAI is rolling out gradually, so some eligible accounts can't see dots yet.
Chatting is free, tasks aren't.
Talking to your dot doesn't use your ChatGPT limits. Tasks it starts in Codex or ChatGPT Work do.
