First 5 minutes

Five steps, in order. Two build a chat, one builds a machine, and the fourth attaches the machine to the chat. The fifth is where the AI stops and asks you before it runs anything.

The interface starts in German. Every label has an English version: switch with the globe in the top bar, or under Settings, General, Language. This documentation quotes the English labels throughout, so switch first if you want them to match what you see.

1. 01Create an account

   Username and password. There is no email field.

   No email also means no password reset. Store the password somewhere safe.

2. 02Start a chat

   Ask it something. You start on a free model, so this costs nothing.

3. 03Create a container

   Under Containers → New container. Pick Ubuntu 24.04 if you are not sure.

4. 04Attach it to the chat

   From the chat header. Now the AI works inside that machine.

5. 05Ask it to build something

   The first command it wants to run will stop and wait for your approval.

Free models work at zero balance. Top up credit only when you want paid models.
