Dilaya guide

Dilaya gives you your own software, built around you, without a developer — you just talk to your AI. This page is the same guide your AI gives you in the conversation: read it here before you start.

To get started, simply say:

Connect Dilaya to your AI

You drive Dilaya from your AI: you talk to it, and Dilaya gives it the hands to build your software, store your information and put it online. Your software itself runs outside: it has its own address and keeps running once you close the conversation. For that, the two need to be linked once. It takes two minutes, and there is nothing to install on your computer.

Works with Claude and ChatGPT. You need a subscription to your AI, paid separately: Claude Pro or ChatGPT Plus at least.

In Claude

Dilaya installs as a plugin: nothing to copy, nothing to configure.

  1. In Claude (claude.ai or the app), open "Customize" then "Plugins", search for Dilaya and click "Add". You can also get there from the "Connect Dilaya" button of your customer area on dilaya.eu.
  2. In the plugin's "Connectors" tab, click "Connect" next to Dilaya: the dilaya.eu authorisation page opens (see below).
  3. In Claude's settings, at the very bottom, "Allowed domains": choose "Package managers" and add *.dilaya.eu. In a Claude Team or Enterprise organisation, the organisation's owner does this step.

On a phone, the plugin is in the same place; if you cannot see it, install it once from a computer: it counts for all your devices.

In ChatGPT

Dilaya is added as a custom MCP server (ChatGPT Plus at least recommended). Do it from the browser or the desktop app: the mobile app cannot add a custom MCP server.

  1. Open chatgpt.com/plugins?view=personal&directoryTab=personal (the Plugins page, "Personal" tab), click "+" then "Add custom MCP server".
  2. Name: Dilaya.
  3. Connection: Public endpoint → paste https://app.dilaya.eu/mcp.
  4. Authentication is detected on its own: the dilaya.eu authorisation page opens (see below).
  5. Accept the warning ("I understand and want to continue") then "Create as a plugin".
  6. Open a new conversation and say: "Use Dilaya's guide tool".

Allow access (the dilaya.eu page)

  • Sign in with the email address of your Dilaya account: you receive a code by email, no password to remember. No account yet? That code creates it.
  • Tick your organisation (your workshop): the one whose software your AI may use. If you have several, tick every one you want. No organisation yet? The page lets you create it right there: a name, an identifier, done.
  • Click "Approve".

You are back in the conversation: it is connected, and you will not have to do it again.

Say what you want

Open a conversation and talk normally. For example:

"With Dilaya, I want a notebook to keep track of my customers and their orders."

Your AI recognises Dilaya and gets to work.

Frequently asked questions

Which plan do I need? Claude Pro or ChatGPT Plus at least. That is a quality recommendation, not a technical limit: below it the connection works, but the AI lacks the mode that lets it carry real work from start to finish.

What if I switch AI? Your software, your data, your files and their instructions stay at Dilaya. Connect your new AI and it picks up where the other one left off. What follows: your software, your data, your files, your sites, your instructions, your Telegram bot and your scheduled automations. What stays tied to Claude: live dashboards (Claude Cowork) and the code agent (Claude Code).

Another AI? Any AI that can add an MCP server can connect to Dilaya through the same authorisation page. Ask us for the steps.

Several people in the same workspace? Each person connects Dilaya in their own AI, with their own Dilaya account, once invited into the workspace.

Disconnecting? In Claude: "Customize" → "Plugins", then remove Dilaya. In ChatGPT: the Plugins page, then remove the Dilaya server. Your software and your information stay safe at Dilaya; you can reconnect whenever you like.

Discover Dilaya

Dilaya lets you have your own software, built around you — without a developer — just by talking to your AI. You describe what you do, it builds the software and Dilaya keeps it running.

What you can build

  • 📇 A directory or a catalogue — contacts, products, recipes, rentals… anything that fits on a record.
  • 🗂️ Software to run the work — tasks, orders, appointments, stock, expenses.
  • 🌐 A website real people use from their browser, with sign-in by email.
  • 💬 A Telegram bot to check on your software, or drive it, from your phone.
  • 🤖 Automation — a helper that does a job on its own at a fixed time (a summary every morning, a watch…).
  • 📊 A live dashboard to see your figures at a glance.

How it works, in practice

There is nothing to install: you connect Dilaya to your AI once (see "Connect Dilaya to your AI"), then you say what you want, in plain words. It does the rest: create the software, store your data, show it to you, and — if you want — put it online.

What is left when the conversation closes

That is the difference from "doing the same thing with AI". A conversation produces a table, a document, a PDF — and you start again next month. Here, what you describe becomes software: it has an address, it keeps your data, it is still there tomorrow. And you can switch AI: everything stays at Dilaya.

Where to start

Just say what you want to do. For example:

"With Dilaya, I want a notebook to keep track of my customers and their orders."
"With Dilaya, help me list my recipes with their ingredients."
"With Dilaya, I'd like software to manage the bookings of my venue."

You can also ask for a specific tutorial (see the menu below) or simply describe what you need — you will be given the steps in the context of Dilaya.

Create your first app

A Dilaya "app" is your software: it keeps your information on records and lets you find, filter and update them.

The simplest way

Describe what you need to your assistant, in your own words. No technical vocabulary required — talk about what you want to keep track of and what each record should hold.

A prompt to copy:

"With Dilaya, build me software to keep track of my customers. For each customer I want: name, email, phone, town, and the date we last spoke."

It will then: suggest a name, define the records and their fields, create the software, and confirm it is ready.

Give all the useful detail

The more precise you are about what to store, the better. Think about:

  • What you want to track (customers? products? tasks?)
  • Which details per record (name, amount, date, status…)
  • The links between things ("each order belongs to a customer")

Prompts to copy

"With Dilaya, a recipe notebook: name, servings, prep time, category, and the list of ingredients with quantities."
"With Dilaya, an expense tracker: date, amount, category, payment method, note."
"With Dilaya, a small CRM: companies, contacts (attached to a company), and interactions (call/email/meeting with a date)."

Once the software exists, you can go on: add data, look at it, or put it online (see the other tutorials).

Add and find your data

Once your software exists, you fill it and read it by talking — your assistant turns your requests into actions.

Add information

"In Dilaya, add the customer Marie Dupont, marie@example.com, in Lyon."
"In Dilaya, record an expense of €42 today, category travel."

Import a lot at once

Already have a list (a file, a table)? Paste it or describe it:

"Here are 30 products as a table, import them into my Dilaya catalogue."

Search and filter

"In Dilaya, show me the customers in Lyon last contacted more than 3 months ago."
"In Dilaya, what are my 5 biggest expenses this month?"

Update or delete

"In Dilaya, change Marie Dupont's phone to 06 12 34 56 78."
"In Dilaya, mark order #1024 as delivered."
"In Dilaya, delete the record for product obsolete-123."

Tip

If you often repeat the same request (a weekly report, an export…), say so: it can be saved into your software and repeated with one word next time — even in another conversation.

See your data properly

Instead of lines of text, your data can be shown as neat cards, lists or tables, right in the conversation.

How to ask

"In Dilaya, show my customers as cards, with the name large and the town underneath."
"In Dilaya, make me a table of my tasks, sorted by due date."
"In Dilaya, show a visual summary of my expenses by category."

It stays alive

These displays are reusable: they are regenerated with fresh data when you ask again, without starting over. You can also make them clickable (click a card to see the detail).

Two levels of display

  • In the conversation (this tutorial) — quick, for you, while you talk.
  • On the web — a real site other people open in their browser (see "Put your app online").

Prompts to copy

"In Dilaya, create a 'customers' view as cards and show it."
"In Dilaya, a dashboard with: orders this month, revenue, and top 5 customers."

Put your app online (website)

Your software can go from "in the conversation" to a real website other people use from their browser, with no AI in the loop.

What it involves

It takes several steps, which your assistant does for you — but a few decisions are yours:

  1. Who is allowed in? By default your site is private: nobody enters without being invited. You give the email addresses of the people allowed.
  2. Sign-in without a password — your users receive a code by email to sign in. Nothing to remember.
  3. Which pages are public? Usually everything is protected. You can ask for some pages to be open to all.

How to ask

"Dilaya, put my app online. The people allowed are marie@example.com and paul@example.com. Everything must require a sign-in."

It all gets set up: sign-in by email, the access list, the site, and the address to share.

Your own address (optional)

Your app already has a working address. You can also give it your own, something like orders.mycompany.com.

The simplest way: ask Dilaya to buy it

Nothing to configure anywhere. You say the name you want, Dilaya checks whether it is free, tells you the price, buys it and attaches it to your app.

"Dilaya, find me an address for my hair salon."
"Dilaya, buy myvenue-bookings.com and put it on this app."

It renews itself every year, and you can stop that whenever you like from your space.

Already own a domain elsewhere?

That works too: leave it where it is and add a few lines at your provider. You are told exactly which ones, one at a time.

Prompts to copy

"With Dilaya, publish a site where my customers check the status of their order, sign-in by email."
"In Dilaya, add my domain bookings.myvenue.com to this app."

Drive your app from Telegram

You can attach a Telegram bot to your software: you write to it, it answers — to read your data or trigger actions from your phone.

What you need

  • A Telegram bot (you will be shown how to create one in a minute via @BotFather, which gives you a "token").
  • Your Telegram id (from @userinfobot) so you are the owner.

Private by default

The bot only talks to the people you allow. You are the owner; you can add other people with roles (admin, member).

What it is good for

  • Getting alerts: "tell me on Telegram whenever a new order comes in".
  • Checking: you write "how many tasks are overdue?" and the bot answers.
  • Acting: "mark order 1024 as shipped".
  • Buttons: the bot can offer buttons to tap (Yes/No, Confirm…) instead of typing.

How to ask

"In Dilaya, attach a Telegram bot to my app so I get an alert on every new order and can confirm them with a button."

You are guided through creating the bot and pasting the token safely (never in the conversation).

Automate tasks

You can hand recurring work to an automatic helper that runs without you — at a fixed time, or as soon as something happens.

Two ways

  • ⏰ At a fixed time — "every morning at 8, prepare a summary of yesterday's orders and send it to me".
  • 🔔 When something new happens — a helper that reacts as soon as a message or a change arrives (answering on Telegram automatically, for instance).

Both work with Claude as with ChatGPT. One special case: the code agent, a helper that changes your software on its own from a computer, runs under Claude Code.

Examples

"In Dilaya, every Monday, send me the week's top 5 customers on Telegram."
"In Dilaya, as soon as a task goes past its due date, tell me."
"In Dilaya, every evening, make a summary backup of the day's activity."

How to ask

Just say what you want automated, when, and how to be told:

"In Dilaya, set up a helper that, every day at 6pm, gives me a Telegram rundown of tomorrow's appointments."

The automation gets set up and you are told how to switch it on. Some run in the cloud (nothing to leave switched on at home), others on your own machine — the choice follows what you need, and it is explained to you.

A live dashboard

Beyond a simple display inside the conversation, you can have a real dashboard — a rich visual panel (cards, charts, filters) that reflects your data.

When it helps

  • Following indicators at a glance (revenue, tasks, stock…).
  • Having a control screen you reopen regularly.
  • Managing from one place (seeing all your apps, acting on them).

How to ask

"In Dilaya, make me a dashboard of my business: orders this month, revenue, top products, with a chart."

The dashboard is designed, generated, and its recipe is saved so you can find it again and regenerate it later, even on another machine.

A live dashboard is a Claude Cowork artifact: that is where it is built and viewed. From ChatGPT you keep the in-conversation views and the management console; the live dashboard stays on the Claude side.

Tip

If you want a dashboard to manage all your apps in one place (see them, put them online, tidy them away), ask for the management console — see "Manage all your apps".

Manage all your apps

Once you have several pieces of software, you can drive them from one place: a console showing each app with its state, and letting you act on it safely.

What you see

One card per app: its name, its state (Online / Ready / Data only), how much information and how many users it holds, and its features (sign-in, Telegram, dashboards…).

What you can do

  • Open an app that is online, or copy a ready-made prompt to use it.
  • Put online an app that is not published yet.
  • Tidy away (archive) an app you no longer use — this is reversible, you can restore it.
  • Delete for good (with a confirmation) an app you no longer need.

How to ask

"Set up the management console for my Dilaya apps."

The console is set up and you are given what you need to open it. You can also simply ask:

"List all my Dilaya apps with their state."

The app catalogue

Not sure where to start? The Dilaya catalogue gathers ready-made apps, built and shared by other users — you pick one, and it is installed for you from start to finish.

Install an app from the catalogue

  1. Ask:
"Show me what I can install from the Dilaya catalogue."
  1. Pick an app. Before installing, you are told what it does and what will need connecting (a Telegram bot, a calendar, sending email…), and your explicit go-ahead is awaited.
  2. Everything is created — the data, the instructions, the dashboards, the automations, the site if there is one — and you are guided through connecting whatever is missing. Within minutes the app is running for you, with your own data.

There is also a catalogue console (like the management console) to browse the entries and copy the install prompt in one click:

"Set up the Dilaya catalogue console for me."

Share your own app

Built something others could use? Publish it:

"I want to publish my app {name} in the Dilaya catalogue."
  • Public = visible to every Dilaya user; private = your organisation only.
  • Only the app's recipe is shared (its structure and how to use it) — never your data.
  • Each published version is frozen; to fix something, you publish a new version.

It is a good way to equip a whole team with the same software, or to help the community get started.

Your subscription, your card and your invoices

Your Dilaya space starts with a free trial, no card — 14 days by default; the exact date is shown on your subscription page. Here is where to put your card when you want to carry on, and what happens if you do nothing.

Where to put your card

  1. Go to https://dilaya.eu/my-organization and sign in: you enter your email, you receive a 6-digit code by email, and that is it — there is no password (you can then save a passkey to be quicker next time).
  2. In the "Subscription" section, click "Add a payment method".
  3. You land on a Stripe payment page: your bank details go straight to them, Dilaya never sees your card number.

Only the owner of the space sees that button. If you were invited as a member, the person who owns the space takes care of it — the page tells you so.

Changing your card, your invoices, cancelling

Once the card is saved, the same page opens "Manage my billing", at Stripe: there you change your card, download your invoices and cancel if you wish. None of that goes through us.

If you do nothing

You get an email reminder 7 days, 3 days and 1 day before the trial ends, then on the day itself. After that day your space is paused: your software stops answering in the conversation.

Nothing is deleted. Your software, your data, your files and your team stay exactly where they are, and everything comes back as it was as soon as a payment method is saved.

Adding people

Extra seats for your team are added from that same page, once the card is saved. The price is shown there before you confirm.

In short

Everything happens at https://dilaya.eu/my-organization, with the email address that owns the space.
