Getting started with AGI

Create an account and start a chat

Open Sign up, create an account, then open the web chat and send a message. Consult Plans and Billing and plans before choosing an upgrade.

Choose a model route

Check surface availability before installing the CLI or another client.

• Local uses a model served by a local runtime. With an installed CLI and local model server, select Ollama or LM Studio. See Local mode for setup.
• BYOK means bringing your own provider API key. See BYOK for supported login commands, key storage and custom endpoints. Review your provider's billing and data-use terms before using a key.
• Managed cloud uses your AGI account. Review the current plan details on the pricing page.

The current Desktop application is managed-cloud-only and does not accept provider keys or run local models.

Keep model routes separate

The CLI refuses a model request when the session's trust mode and provider route differ. A reviewed Local continuation requires a matching payload preview and creates a new destination session. Review the selected context and destination before confirming a continuation.

What to set up first

1. For local inference, follow the Local mode guide after checking CLI availability.
2. For a supported provider API key, run agi login <provider> and inspect saved credentials with agi auth-status.
3. To use your AGI account in the browser, open AGI Web.
