About

DotBot is a versatile and lightweight .NET AI assistant designed to enhance productivity and automation across various platforms. It seamlessly integrates with code editors and IDEs using the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) and extends its capabilities by connecting to external services via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). With a robust pluggable skills and commands system, DotBot can operate in multiple runtime modes, from a local command-line interface and API service to chat bots for QQ and WeCom, and even a multi-channel concurrent gateway, all while providing a built-in dashboard for monitoring token usage and session history.
