Get started with Aegis

Aegis is a CLI-first personal AI that is meant to stay useful across time, not just one session. The public path is intentionally direct: install locally, run the first-use init flow, check status, enter wake, and keep talking through the same terminal surface.

Install in one command

curl -fsSL https://aegis.agentic-in.ai/install.sh | bash

The public installer:

  • creates a local Aegis runtime under ~/.aegis
  • writes the aegis launcher into ~/.local/bin
  • prepares the default durable profile and state layout
  • launches aegis automatically unless you opt out

What to do next

  1. Run aegis init to bind identity, choose a provider profile, and prepare the first clone.
  2. Confirm readiness with aegis status.
  3. Enter the active clone with aegis wake.
  4. Create another named clone later with aegis clone nova only when you want a second continuity line.

Go deeper into architecture

If you want the design model behind the operator path, continue with:

What lives where

  • Use the docs in this section for the supported operator path.
  • Use the Architecture section for the public map of the active design stack.
  • The repository root README.md and the deeper docs under docs/system-design/ remain the fuller architecture source material.
