What is Dhanu

Dhanu gives your team one place to do work with AI. You open a task, describe what you need in plain language, and work through it with an assistant that can read your files, write documents, build spreadsheets, decks and small apps, generate images, video and sound, and hand parts of the job to other AI staff.

The shape of it

Most of what you do in Dhanu happens in one of five places.

Tasks are where work actually happens. A task is a conversation with an AI assistant that has your context, the files in scope, the instructions you have set, and the tools to make things. Anything the assistant produces stays attached to the task.

Projects group related tasks, files, and people behind one boundary. A client engagement, a product launch, a research thread. A project has its own description, its own standing instructions, its own member list, and its own assigned AI staff.

Brain is your team’s knowledge base. Pages link to each other with [[links]], search runs across everything by keyword and by meaning, and you can turn uploaded files into pages. The assistant reads it before answering, so it knows your pricing and your policies instead of guessing at them.

Library is where files and folders live, privately to you, or inside a project. Additionally there are templates and prompts where you can either save them or create new ones.

Inbox is where anything that needs you ends up: a mention, a task that moved, an approval an AI staff member is waiting on.

What the AI can make for you

Inside a task, the assistant can produce seven kinds of thing, and each one stays attached to the task and keeps a version history:

• Canvas: documents you and the AI edit together, live, at the same time. Also whiteboards, boards, diagrams, charts and mindmaps.
• Sheets: real spreadsheets with working formulas, not a table of text.
• Apps: small working tools built from a description, optionally with their own backend.
• Decks: slide presentations with a theme and layouts, exported to PowerPoint or PDF.
• Images: generated or edited, with the aspect ratio you choose.
• Video: short clips, including animating a still image you already made.
• Audio: sound effects and short audio clips.

Where to go next

If you are brand new, read Create your workspace and then Invite your team. If you want the mental model first, start with Where things live, it is the concept people most often get wrong early on.

If you are here to build on the API, go to the Developer quickstart instead.
