Getting Started

Avi is the AI assistant for real work. It works inside projects you organize around whatever you're doing — a company, a side project, a research area. You chat with it, and it can run tools to read and change real things: files, notes, GitHub issues, and more. It can also set up automations that keep working on a schedule after the chat ends.

Head to avi.run and sign in with Google. Avi is currently invite-only, so a new sign-in lands on the waitlist. There are two ways in:

Enter an invite code on the waitlist screen.
Accept an invitation from someone already using Avi. Invitations sent to your email address show up right on the waitlist screen, and the link in the invite email works too. Sign in with the address the invitation was sent to.

Once you're in, Avi creates your personal account, a personal organization, and a private Personal project you can use right away. You start with 1,500 free credits — no card required — and connecting your first account (Google) adds 1,500 more; see Billing.

2. Pick your apps — Avi sets itself up

The first time you open your Personal project, Avi asks what it should take care of — Email, Calendar, Drive, Contacts, Messages, and more, each a card with its own toggle. Pick the ones you want and sign in once per service; the moment a connection completes, those apps configure themselves: Email shows your Gmail, Calendar syncs your calendars, Drive brings in your files. No per-app setup. Connecting also adds the 1,500 free credits mentioned above.

Your data stays yours: Avi never trains AI models on it, it's processed only to do what you ask, and it isn't visible to our team unless you explicitly approve access. You can disconnect any account from the settings of the app that uses it, and you can skip the whole step — every app works on its own, and each one offers to connect its service right where you'd need it.

3. Open your first project

After sign-in you land in the web app at app.avi.run. Your Personal project is already created. Type a message in the chat to start working with the agent. Simple ways to get oriented:

"What can you do?"
"Take notes on the following plan: ..."
"Email me the weather every morning."

4. Invite teammates (optional)

If you want other people in the same workspace, create a new org and invite teammates. Each member gets private user-owned projects inside the org. See Organizations & Projects.

5. Optional: add Avi to your phone's home screen

On your phone, open app.avi.run and add it to your home screen (on iPhone: Share → Add to Home Screen; on Android: browser menu → Add to Home screen / Install). You get the Avi icon on your home screen, and it opens full screen like a native app.

Key ideas

Org — a workspace you own or belong to. Your personal org is created automatically.
Home feed — what you see when nothing else is open: one row per topic (a deal, a feature, an incident, one of your tasks), newest activity first, each showing its latest development. Click a row to see its recent developments in place; See all updates shows its whole history.
Project — where all of Avi's work lives: chat history, tasks, notes, files, instructions.
Agent — the AI inside a project. One per org, customizable per project.
Tool — something the agent can do for you (send an email, search the web, read a file). You control which tools are on in each project.
Task — a to-do item you and the agent track inside a project.
Automation — standing work the agent sets up for you: it runs on a schedule (or once, later) and reports its progress as it goes.
Skill — reusable instructions the agent can load when it needs them.
App — a bundle of related tools (e.g. the Code app, the CRM app). Turn apps on per project.
