Getting Started

1 Before you start

Install OpAgent Desktop from the official download page. After opening the app, prepare a folder where you want to keep your documents.

You do not need to understand any technical architecture to begin. Start with one workspace, one Markdown file, and one conversation.

2 Your first workflow

1. Create or open a workspace

   Choose a folder for your project. This folder becomes the place where OpAgent keeps your files and working context.

2. Create a Markdown file

   Create a file such as README.md, notes.md, or draft.md. Write a short goal, a few notes, or the material you want to improve.

3. Open the conversation panel

   Choose an agent and a model. For a first test, pick a general-purpose agent and ask for a simple result.

4. Send a clear request

   Example requests:

   • “Summarize these notes into five bullet points.”
   • “Turn this draft into a clearer article outline.”
   • “Rewrite this section in a more direct tone.”

5. Keep the useful result

   Move the useful parts into your Markdown file. This is the main habit: do not leave good answers trapped in chat.

3 Good first projects

Try one of these small projects first:

• collect meeting notes and ask OpAgent for a summary;
• write a product idea and ask for an outline;
• paste rough research notes and ask for a reading list or next steps;
• keep a coding task description and ask an agent to clarify the plan.

4 What to learn next

After the first workflow, read:

• Workspaces and Files to organize your project;
• Markdown Writing to write more comfortably;
• Chat with Agents to get better results from agents.
