Feature overview
A map of the capabilities currently available in Dash Bot.
Dash Bot turns agent CLIs into a messaging-style workspace. The harness normalizes each provider into one event stream, so the interface can treat different agents consistently while preserving their native strengths.
Agents and conversations
- A separate bot for each role, model, personality, and working folder
- Streaming responses with live tool activity
- Multiple tasks per bot, with searchable, persistent transcript history
- Edit, branch, rewind, pin, react, export, and share conversation content
- Rooms for multi-agent collaboration and explicit bot-to-bot delegation
- Queueing and steering while an agent is already working
- Per-task token and cost visibility
- Readable, editable bot memory
Computers and tools
- Local computer control with explicit opt-in and approval boundaries
- Isolated Local VM desktops through Docker or Podman
- Hosted Box cloud computers
- A self-hosted Linux VPS backend over Docker's SSH transport
- Live previews and in-app desktop takeover where the backend supports it
- USB Android control through the Phone Harness skill
- Connected apps through Composio, including multiple labeled accounts per toolkit
Automation
- One-time and weekday routines
- Webhook-triggered tasks with dedicated secret endpoints
- Fresh task context and durable run receipts for each automated run
- Notifications for work that needs attention
Voice and access
- Spoken replies and per-bot ElevenLabs voices
- Native macOS dictation and half-duplex call mode
- Paired iOS companion with chat, approvals, search, transcript controls, and opt-in computer viewing
Desktop experience
- macOS, Windows, and Ubuntu packages
- Theme switching and accessible contrast
- Sidebar sections, compact headers, pinned messages, spoilers, and image attachments
- Automatic updates on macOS and Windows
Platform differences are intentional
macOS has the broadest native integration. Ubuntu local control is a guarded beta, Windows installers are not yet signed, and the iOS companion keeps sensitive workspace configuration on the computer.
