Need help with Agent in a Box? Start here, or reach out directly.
Getting started
- Install Agent in a Box on your computer.
- Choose local or cloud: run it free with Ollama on your own machine, or connect your own Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, or OpenRouter account for more speed.
- Give your agent a personality — type it in or load a file — and tell it who you are.
Common questions
Does my agent’s personality or data leave my computer?
If you run locally with Ollama, no — everything stays on your machine. If you connect a cloud provider (Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, or OpenRouter), your conversation goes to that provider under your own account, the same as if you used their app directly.
Can I use a personality from another AI?
Yes. Bring in a personality from any agent on the internet, type your own, or hand it a file.
Why would I connect a cloud account instead of running locally?
Local models are free but need a capable machine to run well. Connecting Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, or OpenRouter is faster and lighter — we recommend it if you’re on a laptop.
