Quick Start Guide

Get up and running with Dobby in 5 minutes. Route your first LLM call through the Gateway, connect your AI agents, and get full cost and usage observability.

Step 1

Create your workspace

Sign up at dobby-ai.com with your Google account. The onboarding wizard will guide you through:

  • Choosing your plan (Free, Pro, Team, or Enterprise)
  • Selecting your data region (Israel, EU, or US)
  • Configuring agent execution policies

Tip: Your data region is permanent and determines where all your data is stored. Choose the region closest to your team.

Step 2

Make your first LLM call

Route your first LLM request through Dobby Gateway. Go to Settings > Gateway in your dashboard and follow the Quickstart — or use the code below.

1. Create a gateway key in the dashboard

2. Use the standard OpenAI SDK (no custom dependencies):

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI(
    api_key="gk_user_YOUR_KEY",
    base_url="https://dobby-ai.com/api/v1/gateway"
)

response = client.chat.completions.create(
    model="claude-sonnet-4-20250514",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello from Dobby!"}]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

3. Check the Usage tab to see your cost in real time

Tip: The Gateway is OpenAI-compatible — any OpenAI SDK (Python, JS, curl) works. It supports 13+ LLM providers including Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, Mistral, and more.

Step 3

Connect AI providers

Navigate to Connections > AI Models in the sidebar and add your API key for at least one provider.

Supported providers:

ClaudeOpenAIGeminiMistralLlamaGrokDeepSeekBedrock

Tip: Claude is the default and recommended provider. You can add multiple providers and switch between them per agent or per task.

Step 4

Create your first task

Go to Hub > Activity and click New Task. Describe what you want an agent to do:

Task: Review the authentication middleware
Priority: Medium
Agent: Security Agent

Description: Check our auth middleware for common
vulnerabilities (OWASP Top 10) and suggest fixes.

The Chief Agent will analyze your task, select the best agent, and start execution. If approval is required, you'll get a notification.

Step 5

Invite your team

Go to Settings > Team to invite team members. Dobby supports 6 roles with different permissions:

OwnerFull control, billing, delete workspace
AdminManage settings, agents, users
ManagerApprove tasks, manage agents
DeveloperCreate tasks, view agents
MemberCreate tasks
ViewerRead-only access
