AI Agent lives in your project. All in one workspace.
DotCraft is a .NET 10 / C# Agent Harness. It organizes AI workflows around a real project folder, allowing multiple entry points to share one session core, configuration, skills, tools, tasks, and observability surface.
- Project first: plugins, skills, sessions, and memory are integrated with the project, the agent can better understand your project.
- Unified session model: CLI, Desktop, TUI, chatbots, etc, all applications reuse the same execution engine.
- Observability and governance: approvals, traces, Dashboard, Hooks, and sandbox settings make agent workflows easier to inspect and control.
- Extensibility and integration: AppServer, SDKs, and plugins support custom entry points and business workflows.
- Bring your own model: works with any OpenAI- or Anthropic-protocol provider, reuses an active ChatGPT subscription, and natively supports DeepSeek V4 and MiMo V2.5 reasoning models.
DotCraft's capabilities, grouped by what they help you do.
Each project is its own workspace — running locally or on your own server.
Most agents reuse one setup across every project; DotCraft gives each project its own agent — its own conversations, memory, skills, plugins, and settings — so it truly understands what it's working on.
Run DotCraft on your own server and connect from Desktop anytime to drive it remotely.
Hand off a goal or a mission, and DotCraft carries it forward.
Save purpose-built agents with their own model, tools, skills, and permissions. Pick one in a chat, assign it to a Team member, or bind it to an automation task so the right agent shows up where the work starts.
Tell DotCraft what kind of agent you want, then refine its instructions, tools, skills, model, and approval style in a guided conversation.
For a complex request, DotCraft assembles a small team to split up the work, dispatch it in parallel, and bring the results back together. You hand over one ask; you get the finished mission.
Pin a long-term goal to a conversation and give it a time or usage budget — whenever things go quiet, DotCraft quietly keeps working toward it. You decide when it pauses, resumes, or wraps up.
From inside one conversation, DotCraft can look after all the others — start a new one in the background, search and read through past ones, pass a task along, or rename, pin, and tidy them away. It handles the housekeeping itself, without ever pulling you out of the conversation you're in.
While you work, Dreams quietly reviews recent activity in the background and drafts memory entries worth keeping. You approve them at your own pace, so the agent only remembers what you've actually agreed to.
Bring your own tools, UIs, and services into the conversation.
A plugin doesn't have to stop at adding tools — it can bring its own full interface right inside Desktop.
Some tool results are things you act on, not just read — a board to scan, an item to operate, a status to refresh. Those render as live, interactive cards in the conversation, where your clicks and inputs drive the agent.
Have a service of your own? With the DotCraft SDK you can turn it into an App and plug it straight into the agent — its tools, data, and workflows become part of the conversation, with nothing extra in between.
Bring the agent to the chat apps you use, on the model you already pay for.
Already paying for ChatGPT Plus, Pro, Team, Business, or Enterprise? Sign in with your ChatGPT account and DotCraft will run on that subscription — no separate API key, no extra usage fees.
