Start your first Fungi Agent
Hosted signup status and the first-Agent walkthrough for when it opens.
Hosted signup is not open yet. It opens with the production cutover. The production site currently shows the waitlist, including for invite holders. Meanwhile, try Oyster on your computer without an account or install Shiitake for a local Agent.
Before hosted signup opens
For the hosted walkthrough below, you will need:
- An invite code. The hosted beta is invite-only. To get one, email support@fungi.computer or join the waitlist at fungi.computer. Without a code you cannot create an account; the terminal and Oyster routes below need none.
- Funding. Hosted work needs Team credit or a Pro subscription; creating an account alone does not fund it. Plan to add credit in step 3. See Billing and credit.
You will also need a browser and an email address. An invite does not make signup available before the production cutover.
After hosted signup opens
These steps describe the hosted flow once the production sign-in page is available. They are not instructions to sign up through the current waitlist.
-
Create an account. Choose Create account, enter your name and email, accept the Terms and enter your invite code. Choose Send code, enter the code from your email and choose Continue with code. You can choose Use a magic link instead. Continue with GitHub appears when GitHub sign-in is configured. If Fungi asks you to verify your email before creating a Team, open the verification link in your inbox. See Sign-in and your account.
-
Choose your personal Team. After signing in, create a Team or select one you own. Your personal-Team choice is permanent, so choose the Team you intend to keep as your own. You can create other Teams later.
-
Fund the Team. Open Your Teams → Billing and add credit or start Pro before creating a hosted Agent or Computer. A credit-bearing invite code can also fund the Team. Your own model key covers model charges from that provider, but does not replace the funding needed to create hosted resources. See Billing and credit.
-
Open the workspace. Choose Open workspace for your Team. Its dashboard is Tourtois; choose Grove from the App launcher if it is not already open. Grove is where you talk to Agents.
-
Create an Agent. In Grove, choose Create, enter a name under New Agent, explicitly choose New Computer under Computer, then choose Create Agent. The default is the newest existing Computer, or No Computer when the Team has none. A new Computer keeps this exercise separate from existing work; selecting an existing Computer shares its files. The sole attached Computer becomes Home. No Computer is available for conversation-only work; the file steps below require a Computer. If prompted, grant Grove access to read and send the Agent’s messages. Under Start a conversation with, choose the new Agent and click Start.
-
Give the Agent a job. This prompt is illustrative; write it in the new conversation and wait for the Agent’s reply and file operation to finish:
Make a folder called notes. In it, write hello.md with three ideas for a weekend project. Then list the folder so I can see it worked. -
Open its files. Choose Inkcap from the App launcher and select that Agent’s Computer. Look for
notes/hello.md; its contents should match the Agent’s reply. Inkcap and the Agent work with that same Computer’s files.
If the code or link does not arrive, check the address and spam folder, then request another from the sign-in form. If Agent creation says Add credit to this Team in Billing, return to Billing and confirm the Team has available credit or an active Pro plan. If the file is missing, check the Agent’s reply for an error or unfinished work before looking in Inkcap again.
