Using the Platform Locally

The platform offers a flexible approach to AI development, allowing users to run the entire system locally. This method is ideal for those who prefer to leverage their own hardware resources, ensuring complete control over the computational environment and data privacy.

Getting Started with Local Usage

1. Download and Install the Node Tray App: Begin by downloading the Evolve Node tray application for Windows or Linux (other operating systems will be supported soon). The tray app simplifies the process of setting up and managing the platform locally.

2. Run the Application: Once installed, run the tray application. This will start the platform on your local machine, making all the tools and functionalities available without requiring an internet connection.

3. Access via Browser: The tray app hosts a local web server, which you can access through your web browser. Simply navigate to the provided local URL (e.g., http://localhost:8000) to open the platform’s interface.

4. Set Up Your Environment: Configure your local environment by selecting the models and tools you want to use. The platform supports a wide range of AI models and utilities, all of which can be run using your local GPU or CPU.

5. Create and Manage Agents: Use the agent dashboard to create, configure, and manage your agents. The process is identical to the online version, allowing you to define goals, select tools, and visualize workflows with ReactFlow.

6. Interact with Agents: Test and refine your agents using the chat interface. This local setup ensures that all interactions and data processing occur within your own hardware, providing an added layer of security.

7. Monitor Performance: Keep track of your agents’ performance through the local dashboard. The platform provides detailed insights into resource utilization, task efficiency, and overall system health.
