Linux: 
Looking for a cluster of syncronized bots to do your work? Just spin up a colony of DataDots.
A Data Dot is a micro executable that acts on its specified data point that is defined at start up. Once started, a DataDot ...
- Interacts with the user on the command line
- Collaboratively works together with other DataDots by speaking and listening
- Learns about its own datapoint by continuously discovering and analyzing the DataDots in its colony
