Getting Started

Start clean and keep
the receipts.

AGI-HIVE isn't just a chat interface—it's an intelligence operating system. Use this flow to launch your first project and maintain a verifiable record from the first prompt forward.

1. Create your AGI-HIVE account

Sign in with Google to open your first workspace. This ties your evidence trails and SPARE balance to one identity.

Open

2. Open Cortex and start a project

Cortex is the command center. Create a project with a clear outcome—this becomes the context thread for all AI decisions.

Open

3. Brief the Hive in plain language

Describe what you're building and what success looks like. The more concrete your constraints, the better the system can check its own work.

Open

4. Review tasks and evidence

Confirm the extracted tasks and reasoning trail. Every decision made by the Hive has a cryptographic receipt—use them.

Open

5. Invoke Council for critical results

When an answer must be bulletproof, run it through Council to compare multiple models and reach a defensible consensus.

Before you start

The Hive works best when it has something to measure against. To get the most out of your first session, have these ready:

  • A one-sentence outcome for the project.
  • Hard constraints (budget, deadlines, technical rules).
  • Reference material or links for the system to cite.
  • A clear definition of what 'done' looks like.

Pro Tip:Use the /crystallize command at any time to have the Hive help you define these constraints automatically based on your conversation.
