1. Sign in

Go to operator.io and sign in. New accounts start on the free tier.

2. Create an instance

From the dashboard, click New Instance. Give it a name and choose a plan. The instance will start provisioning immediately.

3. Configure the agent

Once the instance is active, open it from the dashboard. In the Config tab you can set:
  • System prompt — Define the agent’s personality, rules, and behavior.
  • Skills — Enable capabilities like web search, code execution, and file handling.
  • Model — The AI model your instance uses for inference (managed by Operator).

4. Connect a channel

In the Channels tab, connect a messaging platform:
  • Discord — Add your bot token and server ID.
  • Telegram — Add your bot token from BotFather.
  • Slack — Follow the OAuth flow to connect your workspace.
Once connected, your agent is live and responding to messages on that channel.

5. Monitor usage

The Usage tab shows token consumption and message counts. Usage resets on your billing cycle.
