Getting started
- Choose A0 Launcher, A0 Install, or Docker and create an instance.
- Configure the model provider and working environment in the local Web UI.
- Give a small concrete job; inspect the container result and permissions.
Decision points
- Decide whether the Docker instance suffices or host-file access needs a bridge.
- For remote instances, plan connection, persistent data, and access boundaries.
Limits
- The host bridge can reach real files; grant only needed permissions.
- Open-source code does not make a chosen model API or hosting free of charge.
Frequently asked questions
Does the documentation site run the agent directly in the browser?
No. The Web UI connects to your Docker instance; the docs page is not the running agent.
Is the open-source setup entirely free?
Open code does not remove model, hosting, or connected-service costs; check the route you choose.
