๐Ÿง  Supported Providers

Auto Use supports 6 LLM providers:

  • Anthropic
  • Google
  • Groq
  • OpenAI
  • OpenRouter
  • Perplexity

๐Ÿ“‹ Requirements

  • macOS (Apple Silicon or Intel) or Windows 10/11
  • API Key from any supported provider

๐Ÿš€ Setup

๐Ÿ’ก Recommended for most users: We strongly encourage installing the latest binary build from our official website for a fully seamless installation and the complete UI experience โ€” no manual setup required.

The steps below are for developers who want to run Auto Use directly from source.

๐ŸŽ macOS

  1. Run the setup script

    bash MacOS_setup.sh
  2. Add your API key(s)

    Copy the example env file and fill in your keys:

    cp .env.example .env

    Then open .env and add the API key for whichever provider(s) you want to use.

  3. Run Auto Use

    python main.py

๐ŸชŸ Windows

  1. Run the setup script

    windows_setup.bat
  2. Add your API key(s)

    Copy the example env file and fill in your keys:

    copy .env.example .env

    Then open .env and add the API key for whichever provider(s) you want to use.

  3. Run Auto Use

    python main.py

Note: On Windows, Python 3.13.3 is the preferred version for best compatibility.


๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Safety

  • Sandbox Isolation โ€” Code runs in a protected environment
  • No System Modification โ€” Won't delete files or run destructive commands without permission
  • Permission Awareness โ€” Asks for confirmation before accepting elevation prompts
  • Path Protection โ€” Blocks access to critical system folders
