Quickstart

Quickstart

1. Run it

phoenix

That's genuinely it. First flight scans your machine — API keys in the environment, an old OpenClaw setup, a local Ollama — probes real models until one answers, and writes the config for you. It only asks questions when it truly has nothing to work with.

🔥 openphoenix 0.0.1 - first flight

scanning the nest…
  keys found: anthropic (2), openrouter (11)
probing for a live model…
  ✓ anthropic/claude-sonnet-5 (2.1s)

Reborn. ~/.openphoenix/config.toml (mode 600)

2. Talk

you › summarize this folder
phoenix › …

Type /help any time: switch models, privacy, thinking effort and more — see Chat-Commands.

3. Put it in your pocket (optional)

Add a Telegram bot token to the config (Channels) and run:

phoenix service install

Phoenix now runs in the background, starts at boot, and answers your Telegram. Photos, voice notes and PDFs work too.

Worried about privacy? Ghost mode leaves nothing behind — Memory.
