Dailybot CLI - The command-line bridge between humans and agents. Progress reports, observability, and workflow automation for modern teams across Slack, Google Chat, Discord, MS Teams, and more.

Project description

Dailybot CLI

The command-line bridge between humans and agents. Dailybot connects your team — whether they work in Slack, Google Chat, Discord, Microsoft Teams, or the web — with AI agents and automated workflows. The CLI brings that power to your terminal: progress reports, observability, health checks, messaging, and workflow automation for modern teams.

Installation

pip install dailybot-cli

Or via the install script:

curl -sSL https://cli.dailybot.com/install.sh | bash

Requires Python 3.9+.

For humans

Authenticate once with your Dailybot email, then submit updates and check pending check-ins right from your terminal.

# Log in (one-time setup, email OTP)
dailybot login

# See what check-ins are waiting for you
dailybot status

# Submit a free-text update
dailybot update "Finished the auth module, starting on tests."

# Or use structured fields
dailybot update --done "Auth module" --doing "Tests" --blocked "None"

Run dailybot with no arguments to enter interactive mode — if you're not logged in yet, it will walk you through authentication first, then let you submit updates step by step.

For agents

Any software agent — AI coding assistants, CI jobs, deploy scripts, bots — can report activity through the CLI. This lets teams get visibility into what automated processes are doing, alongside human updates. Dailybot interconnects agents and humans with work analysis, progress reports, observability, and automations.

Authenticate with any of these methods (checked in this order):

# Option 1: Environment variable (CI pipelines, one-off scripts)
export DAILYBOT_API_KEY=your-key

# Option 2: Store the key on disk (recommended for dev machines)
dailybot config key=your-key

# Option 3: Use your login session (no API key needed)
dailybot login

Then run agent commands:

# Report a deployment
dailybot agent update "Deployed v2.1 to staging"

# Name the agent so the team knows who's reporting
dailybot agent update "Built feature X" --name "Claude Code"

# Include structured data
dailybot agent update "Tests passed" --name "CI Bot" --json-data '{"suite": "integration", "passed": 42}'

# Mark a report as a milestone
dailybot agent update "Shipped v3.0" --milestone --name "Claude Code"

# Add co-authors (repeatable flag or comma-separated)
dailybot agent update "Paired on auth refactor" --co-authors alice@co.com --co-authors bob@co.com
dailybot agent update "Paired on auth refactor" --co-authors "alice@co.com,bob@co.com"

# Combine milestone and co-authors
dailybot agent update "Launched new dashboard" --milestone --co-authors alice@co.com --name "Claude Code"

# Report agent health
dailybot agent health --ok --message "All systems go" --name "Claude Code"
dailybot agent health --fail --message "DB unreachable" --name "CI Bot"

# Check agent health status
dailybot agent health --status --name "Claude Code"

# Register a webhook to receive messages
dailybot agent webhook register --url https://my-server.com/hook --secret my-token --name "Claude Code"

# Unregister a webhook
dailybot agent webhook unregister --name "Claude Code"

# Send a message to an agent
dailybot agent message send --to "Claude Code" --content "Review PR #42"
dailybot agent message send --to "Claude Code" --content "Do X" --type command

# List messages for an agent
dailybot agent message list --name "Claude Code"
dailybot agent message list --name "Claude Code" --pending
