Getting Started

Set up Evident in 5 minutes

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have:

  • OpenCode installed
  • Node.js 18+ (for the CLI)

1. Create an Evident account

Sign up at app.evident.run. It's free to start.

2. Start OpenCode

In your project directory, start OpenCode:

opencode

This starts the OpenCode agent on your machine.

3. Connect to Evident

In a new terminal, run:

npx evident connect

This creates a secure tunnel between your local OpenCode and Evident's relay.

You'll be prompted to log in if you haven't already.

4. Access from the web

Once connected, you can access your agent from app.evident.run.

You'll see the same conversations and transparency you get in the terminal, but in a clean web UI.

5. Add channels (Pro)

Want to message your agent from Slack or WhatsApp? Upgrade to Pro and follow the channel setup guides:
