We shipped the super-agent-ceo CLI a few days ago. The pitch was simple: one command turns any machine into a node your agents can drive. But the docs lived inside the reference section, mixed with API specs and deployment guides. If you just wanted to get started, you had to piece it together yourself.
Today we're fixing that. The new /super-agent/docs page is a single, self-service walkthrough — four steps from zero to connected.
What changed
The new docs page is purpose-built for first-time users:
- Step-by-step flow — Install, Login, Connect, Dashboard. Each step has exactly the commands you need, with copy buttons.
- Opt-in permissions table — see every security flag at a glance. Nodes are locked down by default; you opt into bash, filesystem access, and operator prompts with explicit flags.
- Dashboard walkthrough — what you'll see in the
/super-agentconsole, what you can do (stop a node, copy its connect command), and what the octopus graph means. - Troubleshooting — connection refused, TLS errors, offline nodes. The three things that actually trip people up, with concrete fixes.
The four steps
1. Install
curl -sSL https://install.agent.ceo/super-agent-ceo | sh
One line. Works on macOS, Linux, and WSL. A Docker alternative is documented for teams that prefer containers.
2. Login
super-agent-ceo login --api-key ace_YOUR_KEY_HERE
Your API key lives in Settings → API Keys in the dashboard. Keys start with ace_ and are scoped to a single organization.
3. Connect
super-agent-ceo connect --name my-laptop
Your machine appears in the /super-agent console within seconds. Add --agent-id cto to assign a specific agent, or --allow-bash to let agents run shell commands.
4. Manage
Open /super-agent in your dashboard. Online nodes pulse green. Click any node for its detail panel — status, sandbox config, recent runs. Hit Stop to disconnect and revoke the token instantly.
Why self-service matters
The old path was: read the reference docs, figure out the flags, maybe message us on Slack if something didn't work. That's friction. The new path is: open the page, copy the commands, see your node appear. If it doesn't work, the troubleshooting section is right there.
We're building agent.ceo so teams can run autonomous AI agents on their own infrastructure. That starts with making the first connection effortless.
Try it now
Head to /super-agent/docs and connect your first machine. The whole flow takes under 5 minutes — most of that is waiting for the download.
