Getting started

Pathvela is an open agentic framework. The same agent runs in your terminal through the CLI and inside your own app through the SDK, all backed by a single Pathvela account.

This section takes you from nothing to a running agent.

What's here

• Introduction — what Pathvela is, and how the CLI and SDK fit together.
• Installation — install the CLI, or add the SDK to your project.
• Quickstart — get an agent answering in about two minutes.
• Your Pathvela account — sign in, mint an API key, and understand metering.

The two-minute version

Run the agent in your terminal:

curl -fsSL https://agent.pathvela.com/install.sh | sh
lily

Or embed it in your app:

npm install @poolot/lily-web

import { createLilyAgent } from '@poolot/lily-web'

const agent = await createLilyAgent({ apiKey, model: 'poolot-standard' })
const answer = await agent.run([{ role: 'user', content: 'Hello, Pathvela!' }])

Both talk to the same Pathvela backend and are metered on your account. Learn the agent once, use it everywhere.
