How do I send a tap on the back with livedot in ChatGPT or Claude?

Updated

Ask livedot in ChatGPT or Claude to give your runner a tap on the back. It buzzes on their phone, as a tap from their live page does, with your name if your RunFast account is connected, or the first name you give. One a minute, while they’re live or in the day after they finish.

Send one

  1. In ChatGPT or Claude with livedot added (search for it, or add it at https://livedot.me/mcp), ask where your runner is: “Where’s Megan in the Comrades?” or their livedot link. See following a runner live with livedot.
  2. Say “Give her a tap on the back.”
  3. livedot sends it and says so: “Tap sent. Megan will feel it on their phone.” The live map comes with it.

It’s the same tap as on their live page: their phone buzzes and sparkles, and they see the count. See a tap on the back. livedot only sends a tap when you ask, one each time.

How your name shows

  • Your RunFast account connected: your own short public name, as on the live page. See connecting your RunFast account.
  • Not connected: the first name you give: “Give her a tap from Sam.”
  • Neither: the tap still counts, with no name. livedot tells you so.

Who you can tap

Anyone you could tap on their own follow page, and no one else:

  • runners who are live on a race, or who finished in the last day, when the tap lands as a congratulation;
  • runners who take taps from anyone; if they only take taps from people who follow them or have their link, ask about them by that link.

You can’t tap someone who turned taps off, or a private race through a livedot link. livedot says plainly when a tap can’t go.

Good to know

  • One a minute to the same person, as on the live page.
  • Try it: “Give Megan in the Comrades demo a tap on the back.” The demo runner feels it in the demo; nothing is kept.
