See it in action

The agent manages its own goals, tracks research, messages you on Telegram and WhatsApp, runs scheduled tasks, and remembers everything across sessions.

Persistent Memory & Self-Learning

Daily journals, curated memory, personality config. The agent remembers decisions, preferences, and context across every session. Full-text search over all past conversations. It gets better the more you use it.

Automations & Scheduling

Cron jobs, scheduled pulses, recurring tasks. The agent wakes up, does work, and messages you. iCal RRULE support, Apple Calendar sync (shows on Watch and iPhone).

Goals & Tasks

The agent proposes goals, writes plans, and executes them. You approve from the desktop app or Telegram. Full pipeline: research, plan, review, execute, done.

Research & Knowledge

The agent creates and maintains its own research for you. Topics tracked, categorized, and searchable. Point it at anything and it keeps the knowledge organized.

Multi-Channel Messaging

Same agent on WhatsApp, Telegram, and Slack. Send text, photos, voice, documents. It responds with full context from every past conversation.

Quick Start

Download

Download the macOS app -- open the DMG, drag to Applications. Onboarding walks you through setup.

Requires: macOS + a Claude Code or OpenAI Codex subscription (or any API key: Claude, OpenAI, MiniMax).

Build from source

git clone https://github.com/suitedaces/dorabot.git && cd dorabot
npm install && npm run build && npm link

npm run dev           # gateway + desktop with HMR
dorabot -g            # production gateway mode
dorabot -i            # interactive terminal

Personalization

The onboard skill interviews you and builds:

File	What it does
SOUL.md	How the agent talks and thinks
USER.md	Who you are, your goals, context
MEMORY.md	Facts that persist across sessions

All files live in ~/.dorabot/workspace/. Edit directly or let the agent manage them.

Security

Local-only, no telemetry. Scoped file access (sensitive dirs blocked). Token-authenticated gateway. Configurable tool approval per channel. macOS native sandbox.

FAQ

Do I need an API key?

If you have a Claude Code or OpenAI Codex subscription, you're good to go. Otherwise, any API key works (Claude, OpenAI, MiniMax). dorabot wraps your model, it doesn't include one.

Is my data sent anywhere?

No. Runs on your Mac. Only network calls are to your AI provider's API.

How is this different from Claude Code / Cursor?

Those are coding tools. dorabot is an agent workspace: persistent memory, autonomous goals, scheduling, browser automation, multi-channel messaging. It works while you sleep.
