    Full, Ask first or Read-only, for the whole workspace. Share Dovetail with the team, or keep it under each person's own login.

  3. Ask from anywhere

    Text your agent on iMessage or WhatsApp, message it in Slack or the app, or put a Dovetail job on a schedule: every morning, every Friday.

Works with your other tools

Dovetail, together with the rest of your stack.

Ask for an outcome that spans apps and your agent pulls from each one, cross-checks them and sends back one answer.
