Feature tour

The canvas, results, assets & connections, dashboard, and CLI — the local UI at a glance.

Once installed, soloco opens the local UI in your browser. The left rail holds the main entries: Canvas, Employees, Results, Assets, with Dashboard and Settings at the bottom.

Canvas

The organization canvas is the main view: the CEO and every employee is a card, showing live who is doing what and what they produced.

  • Give a goal — describe it in plain language in the composer; you can pick the runtime and model, set a working directory, and attach files.
  • Steer mid-run — no need to wait for a run to finish; add instructions to a running goal at any time, and the CEO acknowledges with a delivery receipt.
  • Ask (AMA) — ask a running goal "how is it going?" read-only, without interrupting execution.
  • Overnight brief — come back after time away and the canvas summarizes what happened since you last looked.

Results

Deliverables live in the results view: aggregated per goal, with an inspector panel that previews code, images, and documents in place — no folder digging.

Assets & connections

The assets page manages the external capabilities agents can use — each one under your control:

  • MCP connections — import the MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools already configured in your local CLIs in one step.
  • Email — connect your own mailbox. Agents can only draft; every draft goes out only after you approve it.
  • GitHub — connect via device-code authorization; the access token is stored encrypted on your machine and can be revoked in one click at any time.
  • Browser — Chrome capability has a master switch, is granted per mission, and can be revoked in one click at any time.
  • Credentials — credentials that tasks need are stored centrally and provided to a task only when it actually uses them.

Dashboard & settings

The dashboard is your command brief: autonomous progress, decisions waiting on you, and the state of standing missions. Settings covers the default runtime and model (specific versions and custom ids supported), interface language, notifications, and the data & statistics switches.

Command line

Beyond the browser UI, the common commands:

soloco            # start (opens the local UI)
soloco doctor     # diagnose your environment
soloco update     # self-update
soloco runtimes   # list the agent runtimes detected on this machine
soloco goal start / steer / resume    # script goals and mid-run steering

When something goes wrong, besides soloco doctor you can generate a context-rich problem report from the local UI and paste it straight to your AI assistant.
