Quickstart — start here

Start free, give the agent a real first task, connect your terminal, and add credits only when you outgrow the trial.

This is the shortest path from nothing to useful work on plori: start one agent, give it a real task, keep using it from your terminal, then add credits only when the free allowance is no longer enough.

1. Start free

Open plori.ai and choose Start free. One click creates a trial agent on its own computer and opens its chat. There is no signup, email, or card before the agent starts.

The trial includes 100 credits, 128 MB of disk, and 1 agent kept for 7 days.

2. Give it a first task

Ask for a result that uses the computer and leaves something behind:

Research the latest releases of the project I name, compare the changes, and save a concise report to work/report.md.

The agent can use its shell and web tools, install what it needs, and save the report on its persistent disk. Open the Files panel to verify the file exists; ask a follow-up in the same chat to see that the work carries forward.

3. Keep it, then use your terminal

Bind your email before the seven-day trial expires. The same agent, conversations, and files move into the registered account; the browser asks for a six-digit email code, not a password or card.

Install the CLI and sign in through that same browser flow:

npm i -g @plori/cli
plori login
plori create mate
plori run mate "Create a short project brief and save it to work/brief.md"

plori login opens the email-code page and returns to the terminal when complete. For the full command list, token location, CI authentication, and JSON output, continue to the CLI guide.

If the terminal you want to connect is Claude Code rather than the plori CLI, add the MCP server with one command; the browser sign-in starts on first use:

claude mcp add --transport http plori https://api.plori.ai/mcp

4. Pay only when you outgrow the free allowance

A registered Free account includes 500 credits per month, a one-time 5,000-credit welcome, 2,000 minutes of run time each month, and 1 GB of account disk. The Plori Router covers fast cost-efficient models (DeepSeek V4 Flash, GLM 5.2, GPT-5.6 Luna).

The product warns before the credit balance reaches zero and links directly to billing. Stay on Free while it fits. When it does not, compare plans: paid plans add more agents, concurrent runs, larger disks, and frontier models including Claude Opus 5, GPT-5.6 Sol, Grok 4.5, Kimi K3. One-time credits are available for a temporary spike without changing plan.

Idle agents sleep and stop billing for compute. Their disk, files, and memory remain, so the next task starts from the state the previous one left behind.
