Last month at DOSSCON1, we pulled back the curtain on the next chapter for DOSS. Live onstage, our co-founder Wiley Jones gave a live demo of dossbot, an AI copilot that solves problems and automates operational changes across hundreds of thousands of records through simple chat prompts, directly in DOSS Adaptive Resource Platform (ARP).

For those who were there or watched the on-demand recording, you saw the promise. Today, we’re delivering on it: dossbot is now Generally Available (GA) for all ARP Pro Customers.

Dossbot represents the final piece of our core platform vision: making DOSS not just composable and durable, but genuinely fast. And it’s a step closer to something bigger we’re building: an Operations Cloud that reimagines what operations software can be in the AI era.

‍

The Problem: Configuration Bottlenecks are Where ERP Fails

Before today, DOSS ARP was already orders of magnitude faster and more flexible than legacy ERPs. The platform can be set up in weeks (not years) with the ability to customize tables, build workflows, and modify systems with clicks (not dev code) in a matter of minutes (not months).

But as Wiley explained at DOSSCON1: “It’s not that the platform doesn’t load quickly enough. It’s that the effort and energy you have to put in order to make it real and to make it model itself after your own business, it still takes too much time.”

You have the data – but modeling your business, from new workflows to cleaning a million records, kills agility and delays results. For VPs of Operations, the last mile of platform configuration remains the hardest part.

That’s what dossbot solves. It removes the human bottleneck by understanding your business’s information model as well as you do – sometimes even better – and using that understanding to make changes at the speed of conversation.

‍

The Solution: AI That Actually Understands Your Business

Dossbot is woven throughout every layer of DOSS, with direct access to the same composable primitives that power the human interface. 

In the race for ERPs to adopt AI, the underlying infrastructure matters. DOSS was uniquely engineered for it. Our proprietary EAV (Events, Attributes, Values) data model creates virtualized table views at the application layer. Instead of a single rigid table where one column change risks breaking everything, DOSS constructs views dynamically from three independent data sources.

This architecture is faster, more durable, and inherently composable – giving dossbot a precise and complete map of your data structure, and unlocking new levels of automation.

When you ask dossbot a question, it interprets your data the way an operations expert would – with full knowledge of your schema, relationships, and workflows. It analyzes table structures, runs live SQL queries, and executes actions directly against your production data. The result is speed and precision at a scale no human team can match.

Today, dossbot can:

1. Create new table views and reports in seconds (not hours)
2. Find and fix data errors at scale (e.g. circularly referenced SKUs)
3. Query multi-table schemas and workflows to answer structural and trend questions
4. Safely execute bulk operational changes (e.g. dispatch pending orders)
5. Trigger workflows to produce documents or reports with audit trails

To understand how the top three capabilities above work in practice, let’s walk through the demos we showed at DOSSCON1:

Demo #1: Automated Report Creation

We started with a Shopify order logs table containing 200,000+ transaction records, asking dossbot to suggest a few useful table views. 

Dossbot analyzed the data structure, identified useful patterns, and suggested 10 views it could create. Pushing it further, we asked, “Can you just make a few of these that seem important?” 

Dossbot created three views and sent us direct links to access them. One click and we were looking at perfectly filtered views of recurring subscriptions over $10, key product performance metrics, and more. 

‍

Demo #2: Resolving Data Quality Issues

Next, we tackled a real problem. We suspected there was a data quality issue with our SKUs, as raw materials weren’t transforming into finished goods from certain work orders.

When prompted to find the issue, dossbot queried table structures, examined bill-of-materials (BOM) relationships, and came back with a diagnosis: circular references. Some SKUs were self-referencing, where finished goods were listed as their own raw materials.

“Can you make a plan to fix this? I don't want to get fired.”

Dossbot outlined a 45-minute remediation plan with specific examples and steps to fix it, cutting down the time it would normally take to investigate the issue from hours to minutes.

‍

Demo #3: Understanding the Data Model

The third demo was ambitious. We wanted to understand how the entire system worked.

“Can you make me a diagram that tells me how our whole system works?”

Dossbot analyzed every table, relationship, and connection. The result was a complete ASCII ERD showing how products connect to work orders, inventory, purchase orders, and receipts.

“We’re only just now giving it spoons,” Wiley joked, referencing the Shawshank Redemption prison escape. “When we give it more tooling, you’re not going to get ASCII diagrams – you’re going to get a full visualization you can roam around in like Matthew McConaughey at the end of Interstellar.”

Dossbot Roadmap: Adding More Powerful Capabilities

We’re working fast to continuously enhance dossbot with new features that make it smarter and more effective at automating operations.

By the end of 2025, we’ll be shipping two key updates:

• Live Mode – screenshare + speech-to-text: Share your screen with dossbot as you work. It’ll follow along, pick up context from what you’re doing, and answer questions based on what it sees. Huge for onboarding and troubleshooting.
• Toolbox – file gen, report gen, bulk editing, migration, knowledge-base search: Dossbot can already generate files by triggering existing workflows, but in the future it will be able to edit existing files and generate new files independent of workflows. We’ll also enhance the options for report generation, expand the scope of bulk edits and rollbacks, add preliminary capabilities for data migration, and test the system to conduct more advanced KB search queries and usage tips like the one shown in demo #2 above. 

Next year, we’re planning to give dossbot even more advanced tooling:

• Toolbox – semantic data model search: Dossbot will get even better at querying your data without specific keyword match, interpreting the meaning behind your searches.
• Workflows: Going beyond tables, dossbot will be able to directly create new workflows.
• Live Mode – speech-to-speech: Dossbot will gain a voice to converse with you as you work. Perfect for hands-free ops or when you’re moving around a warehouse or facility.
• Pano – migration engine: We’re building a comprehensive metadata configuration and deployment toolchain called “Pano” for full-fledged data migration. With dossbot, you’ll be able to upgrade your DOSS instances, pull in changes to ARP modules, migrate data, update functionality, manage staging and test environments, and more. It’s essentially a git-like version control system that allows you to bring in new versions of DOSS and merge them in, without going through multi-year migrations or billing hundreds of hours of professional services.
