Setup guide

From spores to your first Flow Hood.

Once you've done the few sign-ups, this is the whole install. You paste one key; the installer grows the rest inside your own Google Cloud, pausing only for your passkey.

Sign in with Google You

Click Sign in with Google on the site. That creates your account โ€” no signup form โ€” and establishes the identity your collection acts as. This is the same account whose Cloud project it grows into.

Connect your Cloud project & open the ops window You

Point the installer at a Google Cloud project with billing enabled, and grant a short-lived ops window โ€” a time-boxed Google token that lets setup run as you for the next 12 hours, then expires.

  • New to Cloud? Create a project and turn on the free trial first โ€” see Start growing.
  • The token is scoped, short-lived, and revoked the moment you log out.

Drop in your Claude key โ€” we mint the Gemini one YouAuto

Paste your Anthropic (Claude) API key once. Then the installer enables the needed Google Cloud APIs and creates your Gemini / Vertex AI key for you โ€” because you're already Google-authenticated with billing on, no console hunting.

  • Your keys live in your Secret Manager, never baked into any image.
  • Bring either or both models; your strains use what you give them.

Grow the collection Auto

One command grows the whole core in your project: the harness, the example collection (Grower + Builder), the mycelium, and strain-to-strain signaling โ€” with least-privilege roles wired from the start.

$ agentic-fungi grow # runs in your project, from the open-source scaffold

Set your passkey on the Autoclave You

Open the Autoclave, enter the one-time setup password, and register this device with Face ID / a passkey. The setup password then permanently disables โ€” from here on, new devices are added only from an already-trusted one. This passkey is your key to sterilize everything your strains propose.

Open the Flow Hood & meet your Grower You

Open the Flow Hood โ€” on your desktop or your phone โ€” and say hello. Tell your Grower what you want to grow; it plans the work and seeds the collection. Want the fruiting chamber, dashboard, or one-tap Windows bench? Those come with the $100 lifetime unlock.

When you're done, you have your own farm

โœ“ A live harness growing in your Google Cloud.
โœ“ A working collection with a shared mycelium.
โœ“ An Autoclave โ€” nothing runs without your Face ID.
โœ“ Your keys safe in your own Secret Manager.
โœ“ A Flow Hood you can tend from your desk or your phone.
โœ“ Room to grow โ€” subculture strains, unlock the farm, point it at real work.
Stuck or curious?

The repo ships with a full runbook โ€” and strains that help.

Once you're in, you can ask any strain for help and it walks you through the rest. The GitHub repository โ€” with the deploy runbook and the honest threat model โ€” publishes with the launch.
