Turn Natural Language Into Action

Want to build AI-native apps that respond to natural language? Dexto is the intelligence layer that makes it easy to build agentic apps like AI assistants and copilots. Describe your agents, plug in your tools, and watch them respond to plain English.

Add a Smart Interface to Any App

Dexto acts as a smart interface layer that sits between your users and your existing tools. Describe what you want in natural language, and it orchestrates your databases, APIs, and services to get it done.

How It Works

  • Natural Language Input

    Users describe what they want in plain English. Dexto understands intent and context.

  • Intelligent Planning

    Breaks requests into logical steps and chooses the right tools for the job.

  • Tool Execution

    Executes actions across your files, databases, APIs, and web services.

  • Context & Memory

    Remembers preferences and learns from interactions for personalized responses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Dexto and AI agents.

Traditional AI frameworks give you abstractions but leave you to build agent loops and orchestration logic yourself. Dexto provides a smart orchestration layer that handles all the complexity—you simply define what your agent should do in a YAML config and the toolkit manages the rest. Plus, you can connect existing agents from other frameworks as tools within Dexto.

Dexto uses a simple declarative YAML configuration approach. You define your agent's behavior, tools, and LLM settings in a config file—no complex programming required. If you can write a system prompt and configure a YAML file, you can build sophisticated AI agents.

Dexto uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard, which means it connects to any MCP-compatible tool out of the box—databases, APIs, file systems, and even other AI frameworks. You can also create custom MCP servers for your specific needs. The orchestration layer handles all the integration complexity—you just declare what tools your agent needs access to.

Yes, Dexto is fully local—no cloud required. You can self-host on your own infrastructure for complete control, privacy, and offline operation. This local-first design ensures you own your data and makes Dexto ideal for enterprise environments with strict security needs.
