This is the short version. See the installation guide for detailed instructions.
1

Install BeeAI

Install the BeeAI CLI using uv (on Linux you’ll also need QEMU):
uv tool install beeai-cli
2

Start the BeeAI platform

beeai platform start
3

Configure the LLM provider

beeai env setup
4

Use the CLI

Get familiar with the core commands:
# List all available agents
beeai list

# Run an agent interactively
beeai run chat

# Run an agent with direct input
beeai run chat "Hello! How are you?"

# Get agent details and parameters
beeai info chat

# View all CLI options
beeai --help
5

Launch the web interface

beeai ui
The web UI is intentionally simplified for end-users who need basic agent interactions without CLI complexity. Think of the web UI as a deployment target for your agents, not your primary development environment.
