QuickstartConceptsDecisions Connecting sessionsSelf-hosting

Quickstart

  1. Create your workspace. Sign up, and a workspace is provisioned for you automatically.
  2. Register an identity. Add an account you own (platform, handle, allowed actions, daily limits).
  3. Connect a session. Use one-click browser login (a real browser is streamed to you; you log in) or paste a cookie export. The session is captured and encrypted.
  4. Compose. Draft a reply. Guardrails evaluate it live and return a verdict.
  5. Approve & run. Risky actions wait for your approval. Dry-run anything; arm external sends only when you're ready.
  6. Audit. Every action and verdict is in the ledger, with evidence.

Core concepts

The verdict: go, hold, stop

Every proposed action resolves to one of three decisions, which is the heart of the product:

Connecting sessions

Tunneler captures the session of an account you log into yourself. There is no stored master password and no automated-login fingerprint. Two ways to connect:

Captured sessions are encrypted at rest and scoped to your workspace. Disconnect any time from Settings.

Self-hosting

The engine, API, and browser worker are containerized. You can run the tunnels on your own infrastructure for a stable, consistent egress, while keeping the same guardrails, approvals, and audit log. Our self-hosting guide covers the compose files and environment setup.
