First-Run Onboarding
Use onboarding the first time you open Agent Zero, or any time the Web UI says your models still need setup. The wizard helps you pick a provider, add the needed key or connection, choose the main model, choose the utility model, and start chatting.
This example uses Agent Zero API with a fake demo key and
claude-opus-4-6. Replace the demo key with your own key.
Choose Cloud Or Local
Open the Web UI and click Start Onboarding from the welcome banner. On the first screen, choose whether Agent Zero should use a hosted provider or a local model server.
Choose Cloud when you want to use Agent Zero API, OpenRouter, Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Venice, or another hosted provider. Choose Local when you want to connect to Ollama, LM Studio, or another model server running on your machine.
Pick Agent Zero API
On the Cloud provider screen, click Agent Zero API.
The ChatGPT/Codex account option is also available on this Cloud screen if you want to connect by device code instead of pasting a provider key.
Add The Key And Main Model
Paste your Agent Zero API key in API key. The screenshot uses a fake example key, and the field is masked.
Click the magnifier in Main model to open the model list, then choose
claude-opus-4-6.
After the model is selected, click Choose utility model.
Choose The Utility Model
The utility model handles supporting work such as summarizing, organizing memory, and other background tasks.
Leave Use same as Main Model checked if you want both roles to use
claude-opus-4-6.
You can also uncheck Use same as Main Model and choose a different utility provider and model. For example, you might keep a strong main model for chat and use a faster or cheaper model for utility tasks.
Click Finish setup when the utility model looks right.
Start Chatting
The ready screen confirms that model setup is done. Optional setup cards may appear for integrations such as Telegram, Email, WhatsApp, or plugins.
Click Start Chatting to create a chat and begin using Agent Zero.
Important
Do not reuse the fake key shown in this guide. Paste your own provider key, and do not share screenshots that reveal real keys or private account details.
