Getting started
From download to your first co-founder.
About ten minutes. Founding Beta customers do this with us on a call; reply to your welcome email to book it.
- 1
Install the app
Open the link in the email you got after paying and pick Apple Silicon or Intel. (Not sure? Apple menu → About This Mac: an M-series chip is Apple Silicon.)
Open the download, drag Agentfounder to Applications and open it. The app is signed and notarized by Apple, so macOS opens it without a warning.
- 2
Connect your Claude plan
Agentfounder works through Claude Code, Anthropic's agent. If it isn't on your Mac, the app downloads it for you.
Click sign in and log in with your Claude account (Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise) in the browser window that opens. The app confirms which plan it found. We never bill you for AI usage.
- 3
Launch your first co-founder
Start from what you have: a website (it reads the site and looks for signals), an idea (it asks two quick questions and sketches what it would build) or a code folder (it reads the code, READMEs and recent commits).
Give it a name and click Launch co-founder. The app speaks English and Spanish.
- 4
Talk it through
Click New conversation to think out loud with it. It already knows the workspace, so skip the briefing. Pick Opus 5.5 or Fable 5.1 per conversation, and paste screenshots or files.

Let it work, answer what it asks
Between conversations it works on a schedule, and the workspace shows when the next run is, with Pause and Resume.
What needs you lands in Needs you: decisions with a default and a deadline, drafted replies and plans to approve. Outgoing email and anything you mark as ask-first waits for your OK.
Then
- Add your other companies
- One workspace per product or client. Each keeps its own memory, browser and schedule.
- Log in once in its browser
- Open the Browser tab and sign in to Gmail, Stripe, LinkedIn or Shopify. The agent works from those sessions.
- Hand it a plan
- Write the plan in waves with the result each must hit, and ask it to run it. It stops at the gates you mark.
- Connect Telegram
- Updates, questions and approvals on your phone, set up per workspace.
