Setup wizard
Run:What you configure
The wizard walks through:- The Avibe Workbench — an always-on local web chat surface (nothing to set up).
- Optional chat platforms — Slack, Discord, Telegram, WeChat, or Lark / Feishu.
- Agent backends and their model providers.
- Agent CLI paths and the default working directory.
- Channels or chats where Avibe should respond.
- Health checks for the selected setup.
The Avibe Workbench is always available
You do not need a third-party chat app to use Avibe. The Avibe Workbench is a built-in web chat that lives in the local Web UI and is always enabled — it is the one surface you cannot turn off. Connecting Slack, Discord, and the others is optional and additive. On a phone, open the Workbench URL and use your browser’s Add to Home Screen to install it as an app.Workbench-only is a complete setup. You can finish the wizard with no chat platform connected and add platforms later when you want them.
Chat platforms (optional)
Connect the chat app where you already work. Each platform you enable gets its own credential step in the wizard; you can also skip them all and add platforms later in Settings.Agent backends
Enable one or more backends. The wizard auto-detects installed CLIs, offers a one-click install for any that are missing, and gives each backend a Configure model provider button — the same provider settings you will find later under Settings, so there is nothing to redo.
You can enable multiple backends and route different channels to different agents.
