Dawn

What is Dawn?

Dawn is a knowledge agent for technical, product, and operations teams. It searches connected repositories, infrastructure records, tickets, documents, and team knowledge before answering questions about how a system works, where something is implemented, or why an incident occurred. Answers are tied to current source material rather than general model knowledge.

Teams can use Dawn in Slack, Microsoft Teams, Telegram, Discord, web chat, VS Code, the command line, webhooks, or MCP clients. It connects to systems including GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Linear, Jira, Notion, Confluence, Google Drive, and OneDrive, and supports team-authored skills for recurring work.

How to Use Dawn

1. Enter a Dawn workspace and connect the repositories, tickets, documents, or infrastructure sources the agent may use.
2. Select an AI provider and configure the channels where teammates will ask questions.
3. Ask a product, technical, support, or operational question in plain language.
4. Review the grounded answer and its referenced internal sources, then turn the context into follow-up actions, reports, or workflows.
