Set Up a Private Personal Dashboard

On this page, you ask your AI team to build you a private personal dashboard — a personal command center that runs entirely on your own computer and opens in your web browser. Nothing is published to the internet; it's reachable only from your machine. Your team designs it, keeps it updated on a schedule, and grows it over time as you add more.

What you'll need

• An "agentic" AI tool with your AI team set up — the same team you built in Build Your Team. Your team designs and builds the dashboard for you.
• No hosting accounts and no internet setup — because it stays on your own computer.
• About 20–30 minutes to get started. The dashboard is meant to grow from there.

The prompt to use

Open your AI team and paste in this prompt:

Build me a private personal dashboard that runs entirely on my own computer and opens in a web browser. Nothing should be publicly hosted or accessible from the internet; it should only be reachable from my machine.

Core requirements
- I should be able to bookmark it and open it with one click.
- The dashboard should automatically display current information without requiring me to manually refresh the page.
- My support team/agents should be able to update the underlying information on a defined schedule so the dashboard stays current.
- Store the dashboard and its data locally on my computer.
- Design it so it can grow over time as I add more information, tools, and agents.

Planning
Before building it:
- Recommend any specialized agents or roles I may need to add to maintain, update, organize, or improve the dashboard.
- Ask me what information, sections, widgets, links, alerts, calendars, tasks, reports, or other content I want displayed on the dashboard.
- Ask what I want the dashboard to help me accomplish day to day.
- Ask about the priority of the different sections so the most important information is easiest to see.

Design
Ask me what visual style I prefer. You may also ask me to provide a screenshot or picture of a website/dashboard I like so you can use its layout, visual hierarchy, colors, spacing, and overall style as inspiration.

The final dashboard should feel like a personalized command center for my life and work: simple to open, easy to scan, automatically updated, private, and entirely under my control.

What to expect

Because the prompt asks your team to plan before it builds, expect a short back-and-forth first. Your team will:

• Suggest any specialist agents to hire — for example, someone to keep the data current, organize the layout, or add new widgets over time. (Approve any new hire the same way you always do.)
• Ask what you want on it — sections, widgets, links, alerts, calendars, tasks, reports — and what you want it to help you get done each day.
• Ask about priorities, so the most important information sits where it's easiest to see.
• Ask about visual style — and you can hand it a screenshot of a dashboard you like to use as inspiration for the layout, colors, and spacing.

Then it builds a dashboard you can bookmark and open in one click, that refreshes its information automatically, and that your agents keep current on a schedule — all stored locally on your computer, and designed to grow as you add more.

Keeping it private and current

• It stays on your machine. Nothing is hosted online, so only you can open it. That's the point of this version.
• Keep your editable master copy of the dashboard and its data in your team's folder — that's what you and your team work from.
• Updates happen on a schedule. Your agents refresh the underlying data so the dashboard is current whenever you open it; you can adjust how often as your needs change.
