The tool combines modern AI capabilities with a retro-inspired interface, aiming to serve as both a practical assistant and a digital companion.

Agent Mode enables autonomous task execution, with Dinoki handling background tasks and leveraging integrated tools such as a browser and Slack to streamline workflows.
Dinoki supports connections with various AI model providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, and Osaurus, through direct API integrations. The application is fully native and not browser-based, with a compact 5MB installation size and zero tracking.
