Quickstart

Get from zero to a running AI agent in under 5 minutes.

Step 1: Create an Account

Navigate to app.runaether.dev and sign up with your email.

# Install the CLI
brew install pranav100000/aether/aether

# Log in to your account
aether auth login

Step 2: Add an API Key

Aether uses your own AI provider keys (BYOK). Add at least one:

Go to Settings → API Keys and add your provider key (Anthropic, OpenAI, or OpenRouter).

aether apikey add --provider anthropic --key sk-ant-...

Supported providers: anthropic, openai, openrouter

Step 3: Create a Project

Click New Project from the dashboard and give it a name.

aether project create --name "my-first-project"

Step 4: Run Your First Task

Open your project and type a prompt in the chat:

Create a Next.js app with a landing page that has a hero section and a features grid

The agent will start working — writing code, installing dependencies, and starting the dev server.

aether run "Create a Next.js app with a landing page that has a hero section and a features grid"

The agent’s output streams to your terminal in real-time.

Step 5: Preview Your App

Once the agent starts a dev server, a preview URL appears automatically:

https://3000-abc12345.preview.runaether.dev

Click it to see your running application — hot module replacement works through the proxy.
