Part of Alfred’s six-layer architecture. The Interface layer is where you and Alfred meet.
Every interface, one pipeline
Alfred gives you many ways to interact — but they all feed into the same pipeline. Content arrives, specialists process it, your vault grows. Whether you share a meeting note from the dashboard, mention a task on a phone call, or have a passing conversation captured by your wearable, Alfred treats it all the same.The Dashboard
The Alfred Black dashboard is your window into everything Alfred is doing. Home shows the Command Center with health, vault stats, specialist activity, and a knowledge graph. Browse your vault, manage streams, review intuition, configure specialist models, and control services — all in one place.Dashboard tour
Full walkthrough of every dashboard section
Terminal Access
Navigate to Terminal in your dashboard to open a live terminal session inside your OpenClaw container. From here you can use the OpenClaw TUI and CLI directly — managing agents, skills, sessions, hooks, and configuration without leaving your browser. This gives you the same access you’d have if you SSH’d into your instance and randocker exec into the OpenClaw container, but through a convenient web interface.
OpenClaw Channels
Connect Alfred to messaging platforms via OpenClaw’s channel system. A message to Alfred on WhatsApp is processed the same way as content shared through the dashboard.| Channel | How it works |
|---|---|
| Talk to Alfred from your phone | |
| iMessage | Native Apple integration |
| Telegram | Bot-based access |
| Discord | Server or DM access |
Talk Mode
Talk Mode gives your Alfred a voice. Alfred can call you for briefings, reminders, and check-ins — and you can call Alfred’s dedicated phone number any time you need something. This isn’t a robotic assistant reading from a script. Alfred speaks with the voice of a proper butler — calm, warm, precise without being cold. Occasionally dry-witted, never sarcastic. Unflappable in all circumstances.Alfred calls you
Alfred calls you
Alfred initiates voice calls when the moment calls for it:
- Morning briefings — Your day ahead, summarised and delivered by voice
- Reminders — Tasks due, meetings approaching, commitments to keep
- Onboarding touchpoints — During your first days, Alfred checks in to make sure everything is working
- The Day 30 envelope — A milestone moment in your Alfred experience, delivered personally

Pick up the phone and dial Alfred’s number any time. Ask questions, share updates, give instructions. Anything you share by voice flows through the same pipeline as text: the Curator processes it, records are created, your vault grows.

Ambient Mode
Connect an Omi wearable device to Alfred for continuous ambient listening. Wear it throughout your day, and every conversation — meetings, phone calls, coffee chats, passing remarks — is captured, transcribed, and processed automatically. You mention “I should call the accountant next week” while having coffee. Alfred hears it. A task appears. No manual entry. No forgotten follow-up.How Ambient Mode works
How Ambient Mode works
Ambient Mode runs as a realtime Stream, feeding a Temporal pipeline that turns raw audio into structured intelligence.
- Your Omi device captures ambient audio and transmits it via a persistent WebSocket connection
- The recording is transcribed with speaker identification
- The transcript enters your Inbox as a StreamEvent
- The Curator processes it — identifying people, projects, decisions, tasks, and commitments
- Your vault updates automatically

Privacy and control
Privacy and control
You control what happens with ambient data:
- Pause any time — disable the stream from your dashboard
- Your vault, your data — all recordings and transcripts live on your dedicated instance
- Standard security — encrypted at rest and in transit, processed only by your specialists
Email (coming soon)
Every Alfred instance will get a dedicated email address via Agentmail.to. Forward emails to Alfred, or have services send directly to your Alfred’s address.The API

Device pairing
Before any device can interact with your Alfred, it must be paired and approved:Approve or reject
Approval generates a cryptographically random device token, returned once. Rejection discards the request.
