Most AI tools give you a chat box. disp8ch gives your chat box a company to run.

Tell it "build a daily 9 AM research digest and send it to my WebChat" and it drafts a real, editable workflow on a visual canvas (triggers, nodes, schedules) and asks before saving. Put a question to a Council of agents and they debate, vote, and record a verdict with the dissent preserved. Give an agent organization goals and budgets and watch heartbeats, costs, and approvals in one dashboard. Everything runs self-hosted, works with fully local models (no API key needed), and every side effect is approval-gated and auditable. No hidden prompt chains, no silent writes.
