Getting started
Install Atlarix, sign in, open your project, and send your first message.
1. Download and install
Download Atlarix for your platform from the homepage, run the installer, and open the application.
On macOS, move Atlarix to /Applications — automatic updates are disabled while it runs from anywhere else.
2. Create an account
Click Login in the sidebar and sign in with Google, GitHub, or Discord.
- Every account gets the whole app: unlimited workspaces, Agent Behaviors, the marketplaces, connectors and automations.
- Pro adds Atlarix Reviewer and includes Atlarix Core for everyday work, over one shared balance.
- Atlarix Core (hosted models) runs on a prepaid credit balance you top up from $10, metered as you go. Free uses it from the start; on Pro it covers use beyond what the plan includes.
3. Open a workspace
On the welcome screen, choose Open folder or Clone repo, or pick a recent workspace.
Every chat runs inside that project folder. There is no global chat without a workspace.
4. Chat and sessions
Type in the chat input. Saved sessions appear in the left sidebar; use + or New chat for a fresh thread without leaving the workspace.
You can open several conversations as tabs and start a second task while the first keeps streaming in the background — a live indicator shows which sessions are working.
5. Attachments
Paste text or terminal output into the composer, or attach files: PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, RTF, CSV, images, and any code file.
The assistant reads the FULL content — large documents are paged, never silently truncated. Spreadsheets and CSVs render as table cards in the chat, and images go to vision-capable models as real pictures.
After sending, attachments appear as chips in your message; click one to preview. They survive message edits, reloads, and app restarts, and each conversation only sees its own.
6. The right-hand panel
Browser is the agent-driven in-app browser. Terminal is a real interactive shell that remembers its output across restarts. Automations schedules unattended runs. A session Plan rides as its own tab while the agent builds, and Errors collects browser console, runtime, and failed-network errors with stack traces.
Tool cards and parallel worker progress appear inline in the chat itself, and web results show up under the answer.
Atlarix runs beside your own editor, so files stay in the editor you already use.
Talking to the composer
You can dictate instead of typing. The default is on-device Whisper — it runs on your machine, needs no API key, and nothing is uploaded.
If you would rather use a cloud transcriber, pick one in the chat config dropdown under Voice input and supply your own key (OpenAI, Groq or Gemini). Dictation on your own key is never billed to Atlarix Core.
Project languages and runtimes
Atlarix auto-detects your project's language — Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, and others — and prompts you to install any missing runtimes.
