# What is Dialog?

> Understand how Dialog works and what makes it different

Dialog is an AI agent platform that gives product teams a parallel workforce of specialized assistants. Each agent has its own persistent workspace, access to 74+ tools, and memory that builds over time. Think of it as deploying a team that researches, monitors, saves, drafts, and organizes on your behalf.

## How it works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Deploy your agents">
    Every account starts with a default **Chief of Staff** agent ready to go. As your needs grow, create specialized agents -- a Social Media Manager, a Product Analytics Agent, or any custom persona you design.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Talk to them naturally">
    Send messages the way you'd talk to a colleague. Save a link, ask a research question, add a task, or request a content draft. Your agent figures out which tools to use and handles the rest.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Agents build a knowledge base">
    Every interaction builds on the last. Links are scraped and filed. Research notes accumulate. Tasks are tracked. Your agent's workspace becomes a living knowledge base you can reference anytime.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Get results where you work">
    View results in real time via streaming in the app, or receive briefings through Telegram or Slack (Discord and WhatsApp are coming soon). Set up scheduled tasks for automated daily or weekly monitoring.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What makes Dialog different

* **Agents, not just answers** -- Dialog isn't a search engine. Your agents persist across sessions, accumulate context, and get better the more you use them.
* **Real sources, not hallucinations** -- Every research insight links back to actual posts, comments, and web pages. Verify anything with one click.
* **Your knowledge base grows automatically** -- Every link saved, every research brief, every competitive scan gets filed in your workspace. Nothing is lost.
* **74+ tools, zero configuration** -- Your agents automatically select the right tools for each task. Reddit, Instagram, web scraping, Gmail, Jira -- it all works out of the box.
* **Works where you do** -- Chat in the app, get briefings on Telegram, or trigger workflows from Slack. Your agents are always reachable.
