Quickstart

You need Node 24+, Go 1.25+, Git and hardware virtualization (x86-64), plus an OpenRouter key.

Windows (PowerShell):

winget install -e --id OpenJS.NodeJS.LTS; winget install -e --id GoLang.Go; winget install -e --id Git.Git
git clone https://github.com/feder-cr/invisible_dots; cd invisible_dots
npm ci; npm run build --workspace @invisible-dots/cli
node apps/cli/dist/invisible-dots.mjs setup --all
node apps/cli/dist/invisible-dots.mjs server

Linux (Ubuntu 24.04):

curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_24.x | sudo -E bash - && sudo apt-get install -y nodejs git && sudo snap install go --classic
git clone https://github.com/feder-cr/invisible_dots && cd invisible_dots
npm ci && npm run build --workspace @invisible-dots/cli
node apps/cli/dist/invisible-dots.mjs setup --all
node apps/cli/dist/invisible-dots.mjs server

setup --all installs QEMU and turns on the accelerator (KVM, or the Windows Hypervisor Platform), then builds or downloads the Dot's images; run it again after a restart and it carries on. Then open http://127.0.0.2:3000, paste your OpenRouter key and create your first Dot. Every step and its failure modes: the guide's quickstart.

What to ask a Dot

Anything that needs a computer and a person's judgement, for as long as it takes:

Open a browser identity called research, go to https://example.com and tell me the page's title and its first sentence. Leave the browser open.

Every morning, check one-way fares from Milan to Lisbon for the next two weeks, write them to ~/workspace/fares.csv and tell me the cheapest day.

Log in to the shop with the shopping identity, download this month's invoices to ~/documents, and remember where the invoices page is for next time.

What a Dot has

A computer of its ownA hardware-accelerated VM with a Linux desktop and a persistent disk. It sleeps when idle and wakes for the next message, task or automation.
A browser that is not blockedinvisible_playwright_mcp: Firefox patched in C++, the fingerprint set inside the engine. Each identity keeps its own cookies and logins.
Memory and skillsIt writes its own notes and how-tos in its home folder, as Claude Code does, and reads them on the next task.
Your MCP serversAny MCP server you declare, a program on its computer or a URL, as in Claude Code. Its keys stay out of the config.
Permissions you setEvery tool belongs to a permission: allow, ask or deny. An ask waits in your Inbox, survives a restart and runs the call once.
Tasks and automationsA queue with priorities and start times, and its own recurring jobs, for which its computer is started on time.
Many ways to reach itWeb UI, command line, HTTP API with live events, Telegram, and WhatsApp as an opt-in.
Nothing lost on a crashA restart or a kill -9 keeps every message and task you saw accepted, and a tool call cut short is never run twice.
