Getting started.
From zero to first edit. The fastest path is: install, sign in with Google, hit ⌘K.
What do I need to run eri?
A modern Mac (Apple Silicon recommended) running macOS 13 or later, or a Windows or Linux machine with the eri build available for it. A working microphone is required for voice features. A webcam is required for gaze features. Both can be disabled in Settings → Privacy if you don't want them.
How do I install eri?
Download the latest build from tryeri.ca/download, open the installer, and drag eri into your Applications folder (macOS) or run the installer (Windows / Linux). The first launch will ask for microphone and accessibility permissions — granting them lets voice, gaze, and inline edits work; declining still leaves you with a usable workbench.
How do I sign in?
Open eri and click Sign in. The recommended path is Sign in with Google — it's the fewest steps and doesn't require a password. If you'd rather use an email and password, the sign-up screen has a link for that. Existing accounts can mix and match: signing in with Google on an email-based account will link them.
Free vs paid — what do I get?
The free tier gives you the local CLI, workbench, MCP setup, and BYOK/local endpoint support. Paid tiers add Eri Cloud for heavier agent runs, review, server verification, updates, and background handoff. Full breakdown lives at /pricing.
How do I run my first AI-assisted edit?
Open any project folder. Hit ⌘K or run `eri plan` from the terminal. Type or say what you want to change. Eri proposes a diff, opens preview when needed, and keeps the turn reviewable before you accept it.
Where do I find the docs?
Product docs live at /docs. They're skeletal right now and growing. If you can't find a topic, email phlotu@gmail.com and the operator will either point you at the answer or write the missing page.
