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 — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, and others — 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 only 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 and Core concepts.
- 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 Claude Code / Codex / agents / the CLI to scale into a team.
- Soloco plans a goal into a multi-node "organization" of agents, dispatches work to your local CLI agents, verifies results, and distills successful runs into reusable SOPs.
- Local-first: the orchestrator and the agents run on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to Soloco servers.
