What makes Dalmatian different
An AI agent that actually does the work.
Schedules itself, runs the job end-to-end, and reports back when it matters. No new app to check, no copy-paste, no babysitting.
A · Delegation
Delegate the work. Like you would a coworker.
Assign work like you would any coworker. Tell it what to do and what good looks like. Then it goes off, gets it done, and reports back in your chat.
Today's work
B · Chat
Slack, Telegram, Discord. No new app.
Your agent shows up where the team already works. Talk to it like a coworker. Assign jobs, ask for an update, approve drafts before they go.

C · Teamwork
Spin up a whole team. Of agents.
Each agent has its own skills, memory, schedule, and personality. They talk to each other, divide work, and report back. Marketer drafts the campaign, Sales Rep follows up with the leads in your CRM. You're the manager, not the worker.

Setup
Up and running in minutes.
No terminal.
Dalmatian runs on a single VPS in your own cloud. Dashboard and agents ship together. Nothing to sign up for, nothing to configure.
- Step 01
Deploy a server
Spin up an Ubuntu 24.04 server with any major cloud provider. Drop our one-line install into the startup script. Your provider does the rest on first boot.
- Step 02
Open the dashboard
Open it in any browser. HTTPS is set up for you automatically. Your control center for agents, skills, and channels lives here.
- Step 03
Connect your chat app
From the dashboard, connect Slack, Telegram, or Discord with the bot token each app provides.
- Step 04
Assign work
Your agent joins the conversation. Give it a job and watch it run.

Open-source. Self-hosting is free. You pay for the cloud server (usually between $14 and $24 per month) and either a ChatGPT subscription or an API key from an LLM provider.
Frequently asked
Frequently asked questions.
Is Dalmatian really free and open-source?+
Yes. Released under MIT. Inspect, modify, run it however you want. You bring your own server and either a ChatGPT subscription or an LLM provider API key; we don't charge for either.
Where does Dalmatian run?+
In your own cloud account, on a server you control. The dashboard and the agent run on the same machine. Nothing hosted by us in between.
Where does my data live?+
Dalmatian is open source and runs on your own server. Your agents' memory, chat history, and files stay on that server, not on Dalmatian's infrastructure. You can back up your data or move it to a new server whenever you want.
How does Dalmatian handle my API keys?+
When you connect a service like Stripe or Shopify, your API key is stored outside the agent's container. To use the service, the agent sends its request to Dalmatian, which attaches the key and forwards the call.
How are agents isolated on my server?+
Each agent runs in its own container on your server. Containers are isolated from each other and from the host system, with separate filesystems, memory, and credentials. You also control whether agents are allowed to reach the public internet.
What can it connect to?+
Chat over Slack, Telegram, or Discord. It can work with Airtable, Notion, email, a full browser, Remotion, Excalidraw, Stripe, Linear, Canva, Calendar, and thousands more. Any CLI or API can be added as a skill.
Can I switch cloud or AI providers later?+
Yes. That's the point. Your agent's memory and setup live as plain files on your server. Move the server to another cloud, or point it at a different AI provider, and your agent comes with you.
Does my agent remember things between conversations?+
Your agent saves information that may be helpful in the future as memories. The agent automatically retrieves relevant memories whenever it chats or does work, so you don't need to repeat yourself. Memories are stored as files in the agent's container just like all the other files, so they can be backed up and moved.
How do I get started?+
Sign up for a cloud server, paste Dalmatian's one-line startup command, open the auto-generated dashboard URL, and connect your chat app. Full step-by-step walkthroughs for DigitalOcean, Hetzner, and Vultr are in the docs.
