What self-hosted changes
Self-hosting gives you control over the workspace, credentials, local files, model routes, and exposed network surfaces. It also means you must choose safe defaults.
What Disp8ch adds
Disp8ch connects assistant chat to visual workflows, documents, board tasks, council decisions, hierarchy goals, memory review, and channel routing.
- Use local models for private routine work.
- Use approvals for risky actions.
- Use Boards and Activity to keep work visible.
Best first assistant job
Ask the assistant to summarize local documents and create board tasks for open questions. This tests source grounding and follow-up work without granting broad external access.
Next step
This doc mirrors the in-app Docs tab. Install Disp8ch, open onboarding, and use WebChat when you want the app to inspect your current setup.
