Desktop source reviewed October 5, 2026
Connect your first model
- Install and launch the Windows x64 desktop app. The packaged app includes its Python runtime; a source checkout has a separate setup step.
- Open Settings → System Configuration to inspect the active configuration paths and add a cloud credential, or start a local model server.
- Open Models & Reasoning and choose the chat provider and a model available to your account or local server.
- Send a short greeting first. Confirm a response before adding document, voice, or tool workflows.
Try a small Agent task
- Select Agent in the chat-mode selector.
- Enable the relevant built-in tools under Plugins & Tools.
- Ask for a small output, such as a CSV containing three example rows and a short explanation.
- Review an approval request if your security settings require one.
- Open Artifacts & Workspace and confirm the file exists and contains the expected data.
Create a CSV called weekly-plan.csv with columns day and task, containing three example rows. Save it as an artifact and tell me where to find it.textFor a proposal without implementation, switch to Plan before sending the next message.
Add capabilities as needed
- Knowledge Base: ingest a small text document and ask a question whose answer is in it.
- Local voice: enable the speech plugins and download their model assets.
- Personal memory: review Auto-Learn Memories and the current saved facts.
- Connectors: install the package, start its companion where required, test the connection, and enable it.
