User Guide

Complete walkthrough of Phoenix Agent, from first launch to advanced automation.

First Launch

phoenix

You'll see the Phoenix banner and a quick-start panel. The status line at the bottom shows your current provider and model.

Connecting a Provider

/connect

The interactive wizard will:

  1. Show all available providers (Popular, Local, Cloud categories)
  2. Ask for your API key (encrypted locally with AES-128)
  3. Verify the connection
  4. Fetch all available models
  5. Let you select your default model
Local models: Ollama and LM Studio don't require an API key. Just make sure the server is running on localhost.

Chatting with AI

Just type naturally. The AI knows it's an agent with system access and will execute actions directly:

ouvre le navigateur
crée un fichier python qui affiche hello world
liste les fichiers de mon bureau
installe git
ferme toutes les fenêtres chrome

Trust Mode

/trust on

When trust is ON: commands execute automatically. When OFF: commands are shown but blocked.

All actions are logged regardless. Revoke anytime with /trust off.

Mouse & Keyboard Control

The AI can control your mouse and keyboard natively:

clique au centre de l'écran
déplace la souris vers le coin en haut à droite
scrolle vers le bas
tape "hello world" dans le bloc-notes
fais ctrl+c pour copier
