Beauty of a dashboard

localhost:9999

Real-time dashboard with live log streaming, journey explorer, and AI chat.

Everything you need to debug faster

One Install, Two Tools

npm install -g dialog-dev gives you both dialog-cli and dialog-web. Terminal and browser, your choice.

Zero Code Changes

Dialog reads stdout/stderr externally. No SDK, no middleware, no agents in your code. Ever.

AI-Powered Answers

Ask "why did checkout fail?" and get a real answer with timestamps, root causes, and suggested fixes.

User Journey Replay

See exactly what a user did before it broke. Chronological timeline with root cause highlighting.

MCP Integration

Works with Claude, Cursor, and Windsurf. Your AI IDE queries your logs directly via dialog-cli mcp-serve.

Live Streaming

dialog-web streams logs in real-time via WebSocket. Watch your application's heartbeat in the browser.

How it works

$ npm install -g dialog-dev

One command installs both tools globally.

$ dialog-cli start

serves CLI

$ dialog-web start
