Create your account

Open your brain’s address, create the owner login, then let the setup wizard get the brain ready.

Before you start

  • The address and the setup code the installer printed. Lost the code? On the server, run bash scripts/install.sh --setup-code in the install directory.
  • An OpenRouter key. It runs chat, indexing, images and voice.

Create the login

  1. Open the brain’s address. The screen says Create your login to begin.
  2. Enter your email, a password and the setup code.
  3. Click Create login.

Only the first account signs up this way. After that the same screen is the normal sign-in. To add people later, see Member and client logins.

Walk the setup wizard

The wizard starts by itself. It saves each step as you go, so you can close it and come back.

Step What you do
Welcome Wait for System status to turn green. Add your name, timezone and locale.
Your key Paste the OpenRouter key and click Save & test.
Models Pick the assistant model and the faster worker model, or keep the defaults.
Voice Optional: add an xAI key for a smoother voice. Skip to keep voice on OpenRouter.
Memory Pick the embedding model and click Enable memory search. Without it, search by meaning stays off.
Set up Click Set up my assistant. It creates the assistant and its background workers.
Check Click Run the checks and look for green.
Purpose Say what this brain is for. Every agent reads it.
Personality Choose the assistant’s character, name and creativity.
Telegram Optional. See Connect Telegram.
Done Click Talk to your assistant.

You can change anything the wizard set later, under Settings.

If it fails

  • System status shows red: some services are not running. On the server, run bash scripts/install.sh --check, fix what it flags, then click Re-check.
  • The setup code is refused: print it again with bash scripts/install.sh --setup-code and copy it exactly.
  • There is no sign-up screen: the brain was installed without the web UI. Set it up from the desktop app or with bash scripts/onboard.sh on the server.
