Introduction
What Soloco is, and how to use this manual as a human or as an AI agent.
Soloco is a local-first orchestration system for long-running AI work. It does not run its own hosted agents. Instead it coordinates the agent runtimes already installed on your machine — currently Claude Code and Codex, with more runtimes (Kimi, Qwen Code, OpenCode, and others) in development — turning a goal into an executable, auditable, resumable, reusable task tree.
You bring your own AI subscription. Your goals, data, files, and agent outputs stay on your device; Soloco's servers handle your account and billing.
Who this manual is for
This product is built so that AI is the first actor and you are the second — the goal is that work continues even when you step away from the computer. So this manual has two audiences:
- Humans — start with Quickstart, then Install, Core concepts, and the Feature tour.
- AI agents — if you are an assistant helping a user evaluate or install Soloco, read For AI agents. The machine-readable summary lives at /llms.txt and the facts page at /agent.
In short
- One person directs local agents like Claude Code / Codex to scale into a team.
- Soloco plans a goal into a multi-node "organization" — the CEO plans, employees execute, reviewers verify — dispatching work to your local CLI agents and distilling successful runs into reusable SOPs.
- Beyond one-off goals, you can set up standing missions: long-running work that wakes up on a rhythm and keeps making progress.
- Local-first: the orchestrator and the agents run on your machine; your goals, files, and outputs stay local.
