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
- The apps, and how they fit together
Five apps on one database — a customer in ERP and an organisation in CRM are the same company, not two records that drift apart.
- CRM — organisations, contacts, deals
Who you do business with, who you talk to there, and what is currently on the table.
- ERP — projects, time, rates
What you are delivering, who is on it, how long it took, and what that is worth.
- Processes — write one, run it
The steps your company repeats, written once — then every run is its own checklist, done by a person or by the agent.
- Knowledge — the company's documents
What your company knows, as markdown files — either in kyte or in a folder you picked, where the file is the truth.
- Goals — objectives, key results, and who owns them
What the company is working toward, broken into measurable results, hung on the people and teams responsible.
- Tasks — the to-do list
Things to be done, kept where the agent can see them — and deliberately not a queue it works through on its own.
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.
Team and data
- Alone, with Pirol Online, or on your own server
Three ways to hold a workspace's data — and the one thing they have in common: the app always reads and writes locally.
- Colleagues and roles
How someone joins the workspace, what a role decides, and why the agent inherits it.
- Where your data lives
On your machine first, encrypted when it belongs to a team — and what actually leaves it.
- Let another agent read your workspace
kyte can hand its reading tools to Claude or another AI program — as you, with your permissions, kept current by itself, and unable to change a thing.
- Working without a connection
Everything local keeps working; only the model and the sync wait for the network.
- When something goes wrong
How to report it, what kyte reports by itself, and the two buttons worth knowing before you need them.
