Quickstart

There are two ways into Nori. Pick the one that matches how you want to work; you can use both.

Path A — the open-source CLI (fastest, local)

Get a multi-provider coding agent running in your terminal.

npm install -g nori-ai-cli
nori

Pick a provider (Claude, Codex, Gemini, or any ACP agent), point it at a repo, and drive your first turn. Full walkthrough: CLI → Install.

Path B — managed Sessions (cloud, from Slack)

Run a fully-managed agent in a secure cloud sandbox, started from a Slack thread.

1. Connect the Nori Slack app to your workspace.
2. Start a session in a channel and hand the agent a task.
3. Watch it work in the thread; release it when you’re done.

Full walkthrough: Sessions → Overview.

Add skillsets (optional, either path)

Make any agent better with packaged configurations from the open registry:

npm install -g nori-skillsets

Then browse and install from Skillsets.

Tip

Not sure which path fits? If you want to try an agent right now, start with the CLI. If you want agents your team can delegate to, start with Sessions.
