Set Up an Agent

Setup Prompt

Paste this into your favorite LLM so it can do the setup itself.

Text
Set up this agent as a bot in Inline:
https://inline.chat/docs/agents.md

Ideally specify which of your agents you want to bring and whether it's local or remote. For example:

Text
Set up my local OpenClaw as a bot in Inline:
https://inline.chat/docs/agents.md

Inline for Mac

If you have the macOS app, we have a wizard for setting up your local agents. It sets up the CLI, finds your harnesses, installs the plugins, configures them, creates a bot, authenticates the plugin, and opens the chat ready to use. It may be brittle given the number of moving parts, so if it fails, try those steps manually. Open Inline → Settings → Bots → Set Up Agent… or choose Set Up an Agent… from the app menu.

Using the CLI

Check the CLI:

inline --version

Install it if missing:

curl -fsSL https://inline.chat/cli/install.sh | sh

Sign in if needed:

inline login --browser --no-open

For an existing remote Hermes, follow Hermes on Umbrel or a server first. Run the CLI in the same container, service user, and profile as the existing agent. Discovery does not search remote machines or other containers.

Find installed agents:

inline agents discover

Run interactive setup:

inline agents setup

Agents and scripts should select the current runtime explicitly:

inline agents setup --target codex

Support status:

  • Codex: alpha.
  • Claude Code: beta.
  • OpenCode: beta.
  • Amp: experimental.
  • Hermes Agent: beta.
  • OpenClaw: experimental.

Verify

A ready setup has:

  • status: "ready"
  • service.ready: true
  • A bot username and openUrl

Open the bot via CMD+K or search on iOS and start chatting.

Status

Check a local bridge (for Codex/Claude/OpenCode/Amp setups that use our bridge):

inline bridge status

Check Hermes:

hermes inline status --json --probe

Check OpenClaw:

openclaw channels status --channel inline --probe --json
