What Dax is
Dax is an optional AI assistant built into Deskboard. It can read your files/folders/widgets, answer questions about them, create and change them, and rearrange the board itself.
Click Dax in the title bar to open it.
It works on current board
Section titled “It works on current board”Dax works on the current board you have open. You can ask it about files, folders and widgets inside the board.
Each board also keeps its own conversations. See Conversations.
Nothing changes until you say so
Section titled “Nothing changes until you say so”Dax never writes to your files or your board behind your back. Anything it changes is shown to you first, with the option to reject it. See Reviewing changes.
Where its answers come from
Section titled “Where its answers come from”Dax does not come with an AI model. You either run one on your own machine, connect an API provider with a key or an MCP server. A free trial key is also provided. See Setting up Dax.
Hiding it
Section titled “Hiding it”If you do not want Dax on a particular board, tick Hide Dax Button in Board Settings. It removes the button from that board’s title bar.
