Dexto

The AI command center that brings your agents, chats, connections, knowledge, and apps all together in one place and gets better the more you use it. (YC W25)

built a pretty cool model picker, what do you guys think?

Claude Fable 5.1 is now available in Dexto!

[Claude @claudeai]

We’re introducing Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1.

They're the world’s most advanced models for coding and knowledge work.

[Rahul Karajgikar @Road_Kill11]

we just built this app in dexto - tinder for your x bookmarks. what do you guys think?

[Dexto @dexto_ai]

minimax h3 max is now live in dexto!

[Rehan Sheikh @rehan_shei]

Minimax H3 Max has generates video faster than you can watch it so I hooked it to a twitch livestream! Now you can watch infinite interdimensional cable - link to the stream below

i've been looking for something like this for so long!

repurposed and deployed this into my own version of mage arena, with prep actions, hold to charge and more things coming

hoping to make it more avatar (the last airbender) inspired soon

[Sarthak Dwivedi @SarDwi]

I think one reason the usage of AI agents hasn’t fully broken through yet is that the platforms built around them still present a fairly narrow view of what they can be used for and more importantly don’t do enough to inspire curiosity among the general public about what they can do with it.

Most tools showcase their capabilities through packaged workflows like write this, research that, generate an image or complete this task.

Those might be useful, but they make agents feel like a collection of separate tools for separate jobs. You get an output and move on. The platforms and their demos dont do enough to help the average person see how these capabilities could be combined, adapted, or turned into something entirely different.

The platforms environment plays a massive role in this imo.  If the environment through which agents are called and their work is consumed is mostly a chat box, a wall of text, or a one-off artifact, then even a highly capable system can feel narrow. You experience the output, but not the larger creative and operational space behind it.

The more powerful experience might be when a platform lets you move fluidly between different modes:

→ an idea into a visual
→ a visual into a prototype
→ a prototype into a deployed experience
→ a repeated action into a skill
→ a skill into an automation
→ an external tool into a larger workflow

That changes your relationship with AI. You move from thinking “what task can this tool complete?” but rather start feeling, “what can I make this environment do?”

I feel like @dexto_ai is one of the few products moving in this direction well.

The biggest unlock for me wasn’t discovering that the models had suddenly become more capable. It was using Dexto that made more of that capability available, connected, and easy to experiment with. 

AI adoption won’t fully happen when models become capable enough. It will happen when platforms become good enough at making that capability feel visible, personal, and endlessly explorable.

one of dexto's most beloved apps is the "Skills Library"

you can start with one of the available skills, remix 2 or more skills or even create your own and publish them for others in the community to use!

whether you're a developer, designer, content creator, artist or simply tinkering - dexto comes with a full catalogue of ready-to-use-skills showing you how to get the most out of all the tools, apps and ai capabilities that come with it

it's the best way to combine your personal context & creativity while ensuring your agents produces high-quality outputs

interactive html is mind blowing

we recently added a new app into @dexto_ai called artifacts, which uses html to create rich interactive components for plans, reports, mockups and just whenever you need a good way to visualize things

i was working on setting up a loop to clean up stale documentation in our codebase every day, and dexto produced this really nice report in the artifacts app, without even me asking it to!

the artifacts app groups all your generated artifacts across chats in one place, and you can share them with other dexto users + add comments on the artifacts as well

If you want to give your agents access to X data, @dexto_ai makes it surprisingly easy.

Two clicks and you’re connected to the X MCP.

No complicated setup that X typically requires you to do and no need to buy X API credits.

Just connect X and start asking Dexto to use it.

[Shaunak Srivastava @shaunaksri]

one of the things i often see people get wrong about context in agents is trying to "connect more sources"

you can plug in Slack, Notion, GitHub, Drive, your database… and still make the agent worse by throwing everything into its context window

the real job is figuring out what it should know now, what it should be able to pull in when needed, and what can stay as a reference in the background - and design a system around this so that your context can evolve over time

in @dexto_ai context engine, we had to take extra care in designing this as an independent context layer that takes care of pulling the right data/sources while interacting with the agent runtime

this way, your agent is always knowledgeable as well as capable of expanding and querying anything else it needs

[Sarthak Dwivedi @SarDwi]

i bookmark a ton of stuff on X

new tools, product ideas, technical insights, design inspiration.

yet i almost never revisit them

so i built an X knowledge base in @dexto_ai that turns my bookmarks into visual idea graphs + compounding context my agents can actually use every day

[Rahul Karajgikar @Road_Kill11]

so i tried self hosting observability myself on AWS

turns out codex + terraform + aws + cloudflare is insane

was able to set up clickhouse running on an m6g.large instance, connect it to EBS volume (for local disk) and s3 (cold storage), set up all the ALB/VPC etc. network stuff, and wire it up to my domain on cloudflare with very little effort - about 3 high level steps and about 30 mins of active effort:

1. step 1: asked codex to tell me all the api key/manual configuration i need to do. here i had to set up aws iam, and do some manual work on cloudflare to create apps/api keys/separated for dev/prod, and connect the domain name i wanted to the clickhouse endpoint i would use

after step 1, my agent was able to access my aws account with ssm after i signed in.

2. step 2: prompted a /goal to setup the entire infrasturcture stack using terraform + scripts, then deploy clickhouse + OTEL collector on the ec2 instance.
codex then worked for 5 hours, wrote the entire code to set up the infra in terraform, deployed it with terraform CLI + some custom scripts, verified/tested that clickhouse was deployed and working fine with the local ssm connectivity

after that, i asked codex to write some scripts for me to monitor my ec2 instance health, test scripts for verifying that logs/metrics/traces/spans etc. work properly and a few other scripts for making it easy to monitor/maintain the instance

then i wired it into @dexto_ai, which was pretty easy, i just had to swap out the collector config to use my new clickhouse endpoint.

it's working pretty insanely, and now i no longer need to deal with arbitrary caps on traces anymore. i can just scale my ec2 instance up when i need it, and use my startup AWS credits ($67 a month).

mostly i cared about traces/spans anyway, and less about fancy monitoring features, so this is an incredible unlock compared to paying over $100 + usage based pricing on sentry/datadog etc.

@shadcn just added message navigation using these hooks into @dexto_ai, feels so clean

[Shaunak Srivastava @shaunaksri]

1-shotted this with the new sonnet 5 and a custom design harness i've been working in dexto

i have 0 design experience but it feels like i can bring the infinite concepts sitting in my head to life

[Garry Tan @garrytan]

Anthropic shouldn’t do this and doesn’t have to

Would be great if it stopped

[Claude @claudeai]

Introducing Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable Opus model yet.

It handles long-running tasks with more rigor, follows instructions more precisely, and verifies its own outputs before reporting back.

You can hand off your hardest work with less supervision.

[Siddak @SiddakBakshi]

Played around with @remotion using @dexto_ai for a bit and now I think I'm ready to launch my internal tool to the world
