How to install kyte, get your company into it, and work with the agent.

Start here

  • What kyte is

    A company's working software — CRM, ERP, processes, goals and knowledge — with an agent that can use all of it.

  • What can I use kyte for?

    The everyday work of a small service company — customers, projects, processes, goals and documents — with an agent that can reach all of it.

  • Install kyte

    Where to download it, what to expect on macOS and Windows, and what to do about the warning Windows shows.

  • The first start

    Three or four short steps to your own workspace — or one button to look around with demo data first.

  • Your first hour

    kyte is installed and the workspace exists — here is what to do in the first hour so it stops being empty.

  • Version and updates

    Which version you are running, how kyte updates itself, and what the number means.

Working with the agent

  • Working with the agent

    The chat is where the work happens — two modes, your permissions, and a switch that decides how far it goes alone.

  • Ask & Plan, Build, Auto

    The switch under the message box decides how far the agent may go on its own — from planning only, to acting without asking.

  • When the agent asks first

    What counts as consequential, what the approval card shows you, and what happens when you say no.

  • Work that runs in the background

    Send a long job away with /parallel, keep working, and pick the result up when it is done — or stop it.

  • Attaching files

    Which files the agent can read, what happens to them, and why they are not stored anywhere.

  • Sharing a folder with the agent

    Give the agent a folder on your disk, and it can read, search and write files in it — inside that folder and nowhere else.

  • Personal data in a message

    kyte spots names, addresses and account numbers in what you are typing, and lets you replace them before the message leaves the machine.

  • Which model answers

    Pick the model for a conversation, see when it runs on your own network, and understand who decides what is on offer.

  • What kyte remembers about you

    The agent keeps notes on how you work — you can read them, correct them, pin them or forget them.

  • Dictating instead of typing

    Speak your request into the message box — useful for the long ones, which are usually the better ones.

Your company's apps

Extending kyte

  • What Extend is

    Describe something your company needs, and kyte builds it as a working app — tables, forms, lists, permissions.

  • Build your own app

    From two sentences to a working app — what to say, what you get, and what to do when it is not quite right.

  • Extend an app you already have

    Add your own fields and lists to CRM, ERP or Processes — beside what shipped, never inside it.

  • The app catalog

    Ready-made descriptions — expenses, helpdesk, fleet — that Extend turns into an app in your workspace.
