What Dude can do
Useful help with work you already repeat.
Chat-driven work orders
Send a Telegram instruction, then let Dude search, inspect, summarize, queue a browser task, or come back with a precise approval request.
Recurring operations
Daily briefs, AM research, issue checks, reminders, and system reports run on schedule with logs you can inspect afterward.
Human-controlled actions
Sensitive steps route through review first: sending, posting, buying, deleting, or changing external systems.
How it works
Start with one workflow. Expand after it proves itself.
Bring one live workflow
Pick a task that already repeats: inbox triage, a daily briefing, issue monitoring, or a report that keeps slipping.
Connect the smallest surface
Grant the accounts, files, browser profile, or internal tools that workflow actually needs. Nothing else has to be in scope.
Promote after it proves itself
Run with logs and review. Add automation only when the workflow is boring, reliable, and worth keeping alive.
Private infrastructure
Trust comes from boundaries, logs, and restraint.
Dude is designed for workflows that touch personal accounts, internal tools, and operational context — built around scoped access, review checkpoints, and recoverable state instead of pretending autonomy is always the goal.
Private runtime
Runs on infrastructure you control instead of a generic shared assistant surface.
Scoped connectors
Email, calendar, files, browser, chat, and GitHub are connected per workflow.
Approval gates
External or sensitive actions pause for human confirmation before they leave the machine.
Audit trail
Work leaves a readable trail: tool calls, summaries, failures, recoveries, and follow-up state.
Under the hood
OpenClaw and Hermes power the operator layer.
Runtime, scheduling, memory, tools, and messaging sit under a friendly assistant surface you can actually operate.
