Practical guides for AI Execution Deployment Panels, deployable AI teams, approvals, grounding, handoff, integrations, deployment, and governance.
FundamentalsWhat is an AI Execution Deployment Panel?
An AI Execution Deployment Panel is the operator layer for deploying AI teams that can be assigned work, grounded in context, approved by humans, and connected to real tools.
FundamentalsAI Teams vs AI Agents
AI agents can perform tasks. AI teams need roles, ownership, approvals, handoff, and visibility so a business can actually operate them.
Operating AI TeamsHuman Approval Gates for AI Workflows
Approval gates keep risky AI actions behind human review before external writes, customer-visible messages, spend, deployment, or status changes happen.

What is an AI Execution Deployment Panel?
An AI Execution Deployment Panel is the operator layer for deploying AI teams that can be assigned work, grounded in context, approved by humans, and connected to real tools.
AI Teams vs AI Agents
AI agents can perform tasks. AI teams need roles, ownership, approvals, handoff, and visibility so a business can actually operate them.
Human Approval Gates for AI Workflows
Approval gates keep risky AI actions behind human review before external writes, customer-visible messages, spend, deployment, or status changes happen.
Grounding Ledger Explained
A grounding ledger records what context an AI team used, what changed, and why a worker acted the way it did.
Handoff Packets for AI Teams
A handoff packet turns AI output into an operational transfer: owner, status, risk, blockers, links, evidence, and next action.
How dpanel.ai Works Around monday.com
monday.com can stay the board of record while dpanel.ai manages AI-team execution, approvals, handoff, and approved status updates around it.
DPanel Pack vs BYOK
DPanel Pack is the optional managed model-usage path with prepaid credits and metered calls. BYOK stays the default path and DPanel never charges BYOK customers for model usage.
How Pack Billing Works: Credits, Holds, and Margin
Pack billing uses prepaid credits, pre-flight holds, metered model calls, and transparent margin so customers can control managed AI-team spend.
Use Your Provider Key on a DPanel Instance
Apply a connected BYOK provider key to one of your own DPanel instances with explicit consent. The key goes into your instance only and DPanel never charges BYOK model usage.
Where Can My DPanel Instances Run?
DPanel is the control plane, not the hosting company. Instances can run locally, on an existing remote host, or on supported cloud and partner targets as they become available.
Guardrails Overview
DPanel Guardrails apply usage and safety policy server-side before every model call, with a workspace default and per-instance override model.
Budget Policies
Budget Policies set monthly and daily spend caps plus request- and token-per-minute rate caps for DPanel model calls.
Model & Provider Access
Model & Provider Access policies allow or deny the model and provider paths each DPanel instance may use.
Prompt Injection Guardrails
Prompt Injection guardrails detect jailbreak and instruction-override attempts before model calls run.
Sensitive Info Detection
Sensitive Info Detection identifies PII, credentials, and personal data in prompts so DPanel can flag, redact, or block the request.
Why Dedicated Boxes Beat Agents on Your Laptop
Running an agent framework on a workstation hands it your SSH keys, browser sessions, and VPN into the whole organization. A dpanel Box contains the blast radius to one isolated runtime with only the credentials you chose to give it.
One Box per Client: Entity Separation with Multi-Box
Multiple Boxes let an operator give every client, brand, or business entity its own isolated runtime — separate git identities, separate monday.com boards, separate Notion workspaces, separate vaults — with zero cross-contamination.
Why dpanel.ai Discloses Hermes Agent
dpanel.ai runs on a hardened fork of Hermes Agent by Nous Research under MIT terms, then adds the control plane for teams, approvals, grounding, usage, and handoff.
Panel Terms Explained: Drift, QA Gate, Judge, and Friends
Plain-English definitions for every status, metric, and chip the DPanel operator surfaces show — what each one measures, where it appears, and when it changes.
SOUL.md, AGENTS.md, MEMORY.md: The Agent’s Files, Explained
The document tabs on a team member are real files in the agent’s runtime home — the same conventions the Hermes Agent runtime documents. What each file is, who writes it, and how DPanel keeps them synced.
Workspace, Loops, Co-workers, Earnings Center: The Menu, Explained
The NAV V2 vocabulary — what a Workspace is (and the master workspace), why scheduled tasks are called Loops, who Co-workers are, and what the Earnings center pays for.
