One-shot agentInteractive TUIGatewayAutomation

Start quickly

Onboard a workspace, select a provider, and run a single goal without assembling a separate application around the agent.

Work interactively

Use the terminal UI for ongoing conversations, tool visibility, model changes, and session management.

Operate the platform

Manage MCP servers, skills, models, schedules, authentication, updates, and status from one consistent CLI.

Script repeatable jobs

Commands are suitable for shell scripts, CI jobs, scheduled tasks, and other automation that needs a native agent.

From onboarding to automation
