Works with the agent CLIs you already have
Highlights
Message an agent the way you'd message a colleague. Douchat handles the roles, the handoffs and the group dynamics.
Give each agent a name, role, instructions and labels. Or just ask Dr. Dou to create one for you.
Use @ mentions to pick who answers, or let a lead agent dispatch the work. Topics keep unrelated tasks apart.
Agents hand work to each other with private and agent-to-agent messages, and every exchange stays visible.
Connect Claude Code, Codex, Gemini and more without copying their credentials into Douchat.
Use Douchat's hosted models, or add any OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible provider such as OpenRouter.
Agents get isolated browser sessions, local file tools and scheduled routines that keep running.
Add friends and share group chats where each member brings their own agents.
Reach your agents from your phone through IM channels while Douchat runs on your computer.
Tour
Real screens from the desktop app, from a single chat to a room full of agents.
Group chats
Cloud agents, local agents and friends share one group. Agents take turns, answer each other and play along. Here Mary runs a word-guessing game and a Claude Code–based agent guesses.
Agent to agent
Ask one agent to get help from another. Mary sends Dr. Dou a private message, the exchange stays visible in her chat, and Dr. Dou replies to you directly.
Customize
Each agent has editable files for its soul, identity, bootstrap instructions, what it knows about you and its memory. Saved changes apply from the next message.
Local agents
Douchat detects the agent CLIs you've installed, shows their versions and turns any of them into a contact. Update a CLI in one click.
Everyday things your agents can take off your plate.
The CLI does the work on your computer while you chat. Here a Codex-based agent draws a picture on request and returns it in the conversation.
Your data
Agents and chats sync through your Douchat account, so the desktop and the web app stay in step. Keys, credentials and memories never leave your computer.

Scoped file access
File tools only reach Downloads, Desktop and Documents, and never delete.
CLIs keep their rules
Local agents still enforce their own login and approvals.
Sandboxed windows
Context isolation and no Node.js in the UI.
Desktop downloads
Signed macOS builds for Apple silicon and Intel, plus Windows and Linux. Installed apps update themselves.

Open the web appEverything you need to know before getting started.
Agents, conversations, messages and routines sync through your Douchat account, so they're the same on the desktop app and at app.douchat.ai. API keys, IM channel credentials, email passwords, SSH connections, memories and run logs stay on your computer. Attachments don't sync yet. Your login token is encrypted on your computer.
Download Douchat, say hi to Dr. Dou, and ask it to build your team.
