Getting started
3 min read
Voyd is desktop software. Install it. Sign in. Name a venture in ordinary English. The OS seeds Abyss (the board). Live on that board, not only in chat. Click the proto: a first cut someone else can open. Send it to one human who is not you. That is the loop. Sentinel (overnight work) stays off until you mean it. Atlas (the map) is optional. The rest are dials.
What you need
Windows or macOS. An account. A sentence for the business that a stranger could understand.
Optional: GitHub, if a repo must attach. Optional: a cloud model key. Local models can already live on the machine. You do not need a staffed engineering team on night one.
Install
Go to the download page. Put Voyd on the desk. Sign in. This is not a website tour. The company will live on the machine.
Name the venture
Describe the business in ordinary language. The OS seeds Abyss with the first nodes: thesis, proto, work that can start.
You will overspecify later. Tonight you need a place the agents can return to. A blank chat is not that place.
Click the proto
Find the first cut. Open it. Send the URL to one person who is not you. If they bounce, write why on the board.
A zip that never left the laptop is homework. A private preview you never shared is the same homework with nicer lighting.
Correct the board
Agents write onto nodes. Disagree by editing a node. The next turn should honour that edit. If it does not, the loop is at fault, not your whispering.
Chat is a door. The board is the room. Live in the room.
Leave the dials dark
Sentinel stays off until the board is trusted. When you flip it, you agree to read a pulse in the morning: what changed, what is waiting. Skip review and you have entropy with a timestamp.
Atlas is optional. Pin when there is something to click. Stay off the globe if the company should be quiet.
Prices live on /pricing. Hobby can start a first company. Plus+ is $40 a month. This page will not sell you in every paragraph.
Quick answers
- The proto looks rough.
- It should, at first. Correct the node. Ship again. A first cut is not a verdict on the firm.
- Where is the longer walk?
- How to start is the essay. This page is the runbook. Same loop.
- Do I need Sentinel on night one?
- No. Default off. Flip it when you will actually read the pulse.
