Quick Start

From zero to your first agent conversation in under a minute.

You've installed Jean2 and connected a provider. Here's how to actually use it.

Create a workspace

Workspaces are where your agent lives. Each workspace maps to a directory on your server and has its own sessions, tools, and permissions.

By default, you get a Virtual Workspace. A server-side sandbox. No folder on your machine is exposed until you add one.

To add a real folder: click the workspace name in the top bar → Add Folder → pick a directory.

Start a session

Click New Session (or just start typing in the chat). The agent picks up your default model and default preconfig automatically.

Pick a model

The model selector sits at the bottom-left of the chat input. Click it to see all available models. Models are labeled Budget / Standard / Premium so you can pick the right tier for the task.

Talk to your agent

Type a message. Press Enter. The agent responds.

If the agent needs to use a tool (read a file, run a command, fetch a URL), it asks first. You approve, it runs. You're always in control.
