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 on supported hosts; Ubuntu currently fails closed under an input-safety hold
- 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 chat, preview, Cloud, and Local VM are available, while host control is temporarily disabled under an input-safety hold. Windows installers are not yet signed, and the iOS companion keeps sensitive workspace configuration on the computer.
