EquipDash + xAI, tuned for fast answers

Dash AI is EquipDash's built-in assistant, powered by a lineup of frontier models — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, xAI and Kimi. It routes each task to the model best suited to it, and xAI is the one it leans on for speed. When you need a quick read on your day during a busy shift, the answer comes back fast.

WHY IT HELPS

What Dash AI with xAI gives your team

You don't pick a model or wire anything up — Dash AI already does that for you. It sends quick, high-volume questions to the fast lane and keeps everything in one assistant. Here's what that looks like day to day.

Dash AI built in, no setup

The assistant ships inside EquipDash and is ready the moment you log in. There is nothing to install, configure or connect before you can start asking questions.

Routed to the fast lane

Quick lookups and high-volume tasks get sent to xAI, the model picked for speed. You never choose a model yourself — the assistant matches each question to the right one behind the scenes.

Quick answers across busy days

Ask how many spots are left, who is checked in, or what the day looks like, and get a straight answer in seconds. The pace keeps up whether it is a quiet morning or a packed afternoon.

Keeps up at peak times

When the desk is busy and questions pile up back to back, fast responses mean your team is not left waiting on the assistant. It stays out of the way and keeps the line moving.

Connect over MCP

EquipDash supports the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant you already use can work with your EquipDash data directly — with secure, scoped access you control.

Run EquipDash by natural language

Check bookings, look up a customer or update availability just by typing what you want. There is no menu to hunt through and no syntax to learn — plain English does the work.

Bring your own xAI key

Already have an xAI account? Drop your key into EquipDash and the assistant runs on your own provider credits. Your plan's included tokens stay untouched and xAI bills you directly.

Generous tokens included

Growth includes 3M tokens per month and Pro includes 8M tokens per month, so most operators never need to add a key at all. The assistant works out of the box on every plan.

SMART MODEL ROUTING

The right model for the job, chosen for you

Behind every question, Dash AI weighs up what you asked and sends it to the model that handles it best. Quick lookups and counts go to the fast lane, where xAI is the pick for speed, while heavier reasoning and long reports route elsewhere. You just type your question — the routing happens out of sight, and you get a quick answer when speed is what matters.

BUILT FOR SPEED

Quick questions, quicker answers

When the desk is busy, the time it takes to get an answer is the time your team is standing still. Routing quick questions to the fast lane keeps the back-and-forth snappy — ask, read, move on. Whether you are checking a count, confirming a return time or scanning the next session, the reply lands fast enough to keep the queue moving and your guests served.

MODEL CONTEXT PROTOCOL

Run EquipDash from the assistant you already use

EquipDash supports the Model Context Protocol, the open standard for connecting assistants to outside tools and data. Any MCP-capable assistant can work with your EquipDash bookings, customers and availability by plain natural language — check the day, look someone up, or move a session, all in conversation. Access is secure and scoped, so the assistant only ever reaches the parts of your account you authorise.

GETTING STARTED

Up and running in three steps

Dash AI is on the moment you log in. Want to run it on your own xAI credits, or drive EquipDash from your own assistant? Both take just a few minutes.

Open Dash AI and ask

The assistant is built into EquipDash with nothing to set up. Type a question about your day and it routes to the right model — quick lookups head to the fast lane automatically.

Add your own xAI key (optional)

Have an xAI account? Paste your key into settings and the assistant runs on your own provider credits. Your plan's included tokens stay untouched and xAI bills you directly.

Connect over MCP (optional)

Prefer to work from an assistant you already use? Connect it over the Model Context Protocol with secure, scoped access and run EquipDash by natural language.
