What it does

The first screen of a fresh install (no project yet) is a short conversation with the AgentsRoom mascot. It asks what you want to do, one simple question at a time, then offers ONE button that takes you there: open the project you already have (it searches your computer for the folder by its name), plan and create the app you have in mind, create a workspace for a task that is not software (texts, marketing, documents), import from GitHub or GitLab, show a demo, or install an AI agent first when none is installed. It answers in your app language. Since 2026-09-29 it is also what the Build mode of the projects home search bar opens, so the question "what do you want to do" is answered by the same conversation whether you have no project or fifty.

Where to find it

  • The launchpad: the screen shown when no project exists, box Let's get you started ("A few questions, then one button").
  • The three classic options (open a folder, import, demo) stay available underneath for people who prefer to choose themselves.
  • Once you have projects: the projects home search bar, selector set to Build. The same conversation opens under the bar; the selector stays above it so Projects (search) is one click away.

How to use it

  1. Tap an answer (I have a project on this computer, I have an idea, nothing yet, I'm not a developer, Just looking around) or type your own.
  2. Answer the mascot's questions (a few at most).
  3. Press the button it offers: Find my folder, Choose my folder, Plan my project, Create my workspace, Import from GitHub, Import from GitLab, Show me a demo, Install a free agent, Install my AI tool or Talk to the team.
  4. Find my folder lists the matching folders found on your computer: click the right one, it opens as a project with an agent and a first prompt ready (you press Send). Choose another folder opens the system folder picker.

Settings

None.

Agent tools (MCP)

None.

Providers

All providers. With no agent installed, the chat offers the free agent (Freebuff: no API key, no plan, no card) or the setup assistant before anything else.

Mobile

Not on the phone: its actions (search the computer's disk, open a local folder) only make sense on the desktop.

Limits

  • Works without an account. Rate-limited per IP.
  • The folder search runs on your computer only; the paths it finds are never sent anywhere. It looks by folder name, in your usual folders, for a few seconds: a folder named differently from what you typed may be missed, use Choose another folder then.
  • On macOS, when your project lives in Documents or Desktop and Spotlight does not index folders there (iCloud Desktop & Documents), the search may ask once for access to that folder.
  • Your messages and the answers are stored by AgentsRoom (with an English rendering) to improve this screen; this is described in the site's privacy policy.
  • The first prompt is pre-filled, never sent for you.

Common questions

  • What does "open a folder" mean? AgentsRoom works inside a folder of your computer: the agent reads and writes the files of that folder for you. Say what you want to do and the chat picks the right folder, or creates one.
  • I am not a developer, is this for me? Yes for writing, marketing or document work: the chat creates a workspace with an agent ready for your task.
  • It did not find my folder. Use Choose another folder, or type another word of the folder name.
  • Can I skip the chat? Yes: the classic options (open a folder, import, demo) are under it.
  • What happened to the one-question bar with its suggestion chips? Replaced by this conversation on 2026-09-29, on the first screen and in the Build mode of the projects home: the chips answered a question many newcomers had not asked, and most of what people typed there was a sentence, not a command.
