Quickstart

Get Reeve running and have your first AI agent conversation in under 5 minutes. Choose your path:

The desktop app bundles everything — no terminal required.

Download Reeve Desktop

Download the latest .dmg from meetreeve.com/download:

  • Apple Silicon (M1+): Reeve-arm64.dmg
  • Intel Mac: Reeve-x64.dmg

Open the DMG and drag Reeve to Applications.

Launch and sign in

Open Reeve from Applications or Spotlight. The app starts the gateway automatically and opens the Cockpit dashboard.

Sign in with your Reeve account (or create one). This connects your local gateway to Reeve Cloud for connectors, billing, and analytics.

Add your LLM key

Go to Settings → Models and add an API key:

ProviderWhere to get a keyRecommended?
Anthropicconsole.anthropic.com✅ Best for agents
OpenAIplatform.openai.com✅ Great alternative
OpenRouteropenrouter.aiGood for variety

Click Test to verify the key works, then save.

Start chatting

Click New Chat in the sidebar. Type a message — your agent responds using the model you configured.

Try: "What can you help me with?"

You're running! The agent has access to tools like web search, file editing, browser control, and more.

Install the CLI for full terminal-based control.

Install the CLI

curl -fsSL https://meetreeve.com/install.sh | bash

Or via npm:

npm install -g reeve@latest

Run the onboarding wizard

reeve onboard --install-daemon

The wizard walks you through:

  • LLM provider setup (API keys or OAuth)
  • Channel connections (WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord)
  • Background service installation
  • Gateway token generation

Verify it's running

reeve status
reeve health

Both should show green. The gateway is running and your agent is ready.

Send your first message

reeve message send --target main --message "Hello from the CLI!"

Or open the Cockpit in your browser: http://localhost:18789/

See the full CLI setup guide for details.

Use Reeve Cloud — no installation needed.

Create your account

Go to app.meetreeve.com and sign up with email or Google.

Connect your services

Navigate to Connectors and link your platforms — Shopify, Stripe, Meta Ads, Google Ads, Klaviyo, and more. Each connector uses OAuth or API keys.

Start a conversation

Open the chat interface and talk to your agent. It has access to all your connected data sources and can analyze, report, and take action across platforms.

See the Cloud setup guide for details.
