What people actually do with it
Thirteen real workflows, written as steps you can follow today, from "I've never opened a terminal" to "I'm running three agents in parallel." Each one says what to set up first and what you'll see when it works. Find your rung and climb from there.
Start here (no coding needed)
If Computer is your first tool like this, these three need zero terminal and zero code. The install is copy-pasting two commands, and everything after that is clicking and typing in plain English.
| The moment | The walkthrough |
|---|---|
| Your Downloads folder is 400 files of chaos and today is the day. | Clean up a messy folder with AI |
| A school or research project scattered across PDFs, notes, and voice memos on two devices. | A project folder that follows you |
| You want a website for your club or portfolio, and you want to actually own it. | Build your first website with an AI beside you |
Your computer, in your pocket
You use a computer for real work and want it with you when you leave the desk. These add remote access and start touching the terminal and git, gently.
| The moment | The walkthrough |
|---|---|
| You want to ask your computer "did the build pass?" from a chat app, not a browser. | Message your computer from Telegram |
| A bug report lands while you're on the train. The branch is on your desk machine. | Ship a fix from your phone |
| The layout looks fine in devtools' phone emulator. You've been burned by that before. | Test your dev server on a real phone |
Your own personal assistant
The reason agents are having a moment: one that acts on its own, finishes whole jobs, and gets better the longer it works for you. All of it on your machine, with your keys, inspectable down to every tool call.
| The moment | The walkthrough |
|---|---|
| 7:45am, your phone buzzes: it's your computer, with the morning brief. You didn't ask. | An assistant that texts you first |
| Hand over "compare three cities for the offsite," come back to a report, a spreadsheet, and sources. | Delegate a whole job, come back to a deliverable |
| The third time you explain your release process, it should stop needing the speech. | An agent that learns how you work |
Working with agents on real code
For developers putting AI to work on serious projects: supervision, automation, and orchestration.
| The moment | The walkthrough |
|---|---|
| Claude Code is mid-refactor at home and hits a decision it shouldn't make alone. | Supervise a coding agent from anywhere |
| The test suite should run every morning and tell you only when it matters. | A morning check that reports to you |
| You love Open WebUI as your chat home, but the answer lives in a real repo. | Give Open WebUI real hands |
| Three independent tasks, one repo, and no patience for doing them one at a time. | Run parallel agents on git worktrees |
All of them assume the two-minute quickstart is done. The remote ones also want Tailscale and keep it running in place; each page says exactly what it needs.
