Quickstart

Download our app for MacOS, Windows or Linux

• 🖥️ macOS, Windows and Linux: run our app anywhere.

• 🧑‍💻 Intuitive UI: Our UI is designed for anyone, from AI novices to experts.

• 🚀 One Click Setup: No docker, terminal or dependencies required.

Step 1: Download App

Download the latest release. Be sure to download the correct version (Windows, Linux, Mac for Apple Silicon, Mac for Intel).

Step 2: Install the App

After downloading, install the app:

• macOS: open the .dmg file, and drag the app to your Applications directory

• Windows: double click the installer, and follow the guide to install

• Linux: save the app and launch it from terminal

Windows Installer Troubleshooting

If you have any issues installing on Windows, check the solutions below:

• "Unrecognized App" warning: this warning may appear after we ship a new app update. This is just a warning. To bypass it, click "More Info" and continue the install.

• Anti-virus blockers: every release is scanned for viruses using VirusTotal, a comprehensive scanner that scans the app with over 70 virus scanners. Occasionally McAfee/AVG/Avast has a false positive (detects a virus when there isn't one). Feel free to scan the installer yourself (using VirusTotal or similar tool); once you trust the installer, add it to your virus scanner's allow-list.

Step 3: Launch the App

Launch the app and get started!

The app will guide you through creating a project, creating a task, and connecting to AI providers like Ollama, OpenAI, OpenRouter and more.

Try our sample task for a quick exploration, or define your own custom task for your project.
