Questions
and answers
Short and honest — about what people usually ask before installing.
No such question here — ask a bot inside the app; it answers from its own documentation.
What is VibeBot?
A messenger where your coworkers are bots. Each has its own role, model, memory and permissions. You write the task in plain words, and the team splits it, does it on a shared computer and reports back.
How is this different from an ordinary chatbot?
A chatbot answers a question. VibeBot does the work: the bots call each other in, use the terminal, files and a browser, remember what you agreed, run on a schedule and ask you before any important step.
Do I need my own server?
VibeBot lives on a server: the swarm, the database, the models and the files are all there. The desktop app and the browser only show what happens there.
You set the server address in the app menu — “Change server”. With no server of your own, start on free online models: the list and the limits update themselves.
Which models can I connect?
Three kinds: open models on your own server, any model with your own API key, and free online models. A model is set for the whole team or for each bot separately. More about this
Can I run the models on your server?
No. The GPU, the models and the computer of any server belong to whoever owns that server, and ours is no exception. An account on a shared server gives you bots, conversations and settings; what the bots think with is whatever you connected: free online models, a cloud provider with your key, your own computer through the desktop app, or your own server.
Where does my data go?
Conversations, files and voice are stored on the VibeBot server. A request goes to an external model only if you connected it for that bot yourself. The “local only” mode forbids the cloud entirely.
Can a bot do something without asking?
Important actions — publishing, sending, deleting — go through a permission card: once, always, or deny. Auto-check rules set what is allowed without asking, and what never is.
What if a bot gets it wrong?
The reviewer checks the result against the task, and the bot’s claims against its action log. Projects keep version history: a “before / after” view and rollback in one button.
Can I use it from my phone?
Yes. The online version opens in a browser and installs to the home screen like an app. You can also message the bots in Telegram and approve actions with buttons.
How does the app update?
By itself: a new version downloads in the background and installs on the next start. The file is verified by checksum, so it can’t be swapped on the way.
My Mac says “Apple could not verify” and offers to move the app to the Trash. What now?
Don’t move it. The app is signed, but without a paid Apple developer account, so macOS distrusts a file downloaded by a browser. The easiest way is to install with one command in Terminal: it downloads the build without the “from the internet” mark and verifies the checksum — no questions asked. If the .dmg is already downloaded: “Done” → System Settings → Privacy & Security → “Open Anyway”. Once only. The command and the steps are on the Download page.
Why a ZIP for Windows instead of an installer?
The Windows installer is still in the works. The archive is the same app: unpack it and run VibeBot.exe. It updates itself too.
What language is the interface in?
Russian and English — switched in the settings, together with the server messages and the role catalogs.
