About Dovetail
Dovetail is turning its research repository into an AI analyst that reads, computes, and cites.
Dovetail has shifted its center of gravity from storing research to answering questions over it. The last month is almost entirely about the chat layer: persistent multi-turn context, code execution with inline charts, admin-curated Docs as context, and a new deep research mode. The MCP server is gaining write tools, making the repository operable by outside agents.
