Quickstart

Get from zero to your first completed goal in three steps.

This is the fastest path from nothing to your first delivered result. Choose either an installed, signed-in runtime such as Claude Code or Codex CLI, or the DeepSeek Harness bundled with Soloco on macOS and Linux. See Agent runtimes for the differences.

Install Soloco

npm i -g @soloco/client@latest

Requires Node.js ≥ 22.5 on macOS, Windows, or Linux.

Run it and sign in

soloco

Follow the setup — when it finishes, the local UI opens in your browser. Soloco detects Claude Code and Codex CLI on your machine and offers bundled DSH where supported.

  • For Claude Code or Codex CLI, use your existing account or subscription login.
  • For DSH, enter your own DeepSeek API key in the Soloco UI. You do not need to install DSH separately; DeepSeek bills the associated provider usage.

If a step asks for an account, API key, or payment, you handle it yourself. An assistant should never ask you to paste an API key into a chat or enter credentials on your behalf.

Give it a goal and collect the deliverables

Describe a goal in plain language. Soloco plans it into a small team of agents, dispatches the work to your local CLI agents, reviews the results, and produces the deliverables. You can watch the task tree progress, steer it with extra instructions at any time, step away, and come back to finished output on the results page.
