Get started

Boot a session in minutes.

There is nothing to install and no account to create. You bring a chatbot and a project; AIR — short for AI Resource — brings the structure: a teammate that works the project with you, not an autopilot you hand it to.

1

Get the boot bundle

Open the AIR repository and grab the boot files. Nothing to install, no account to create — AIR is a prompt-based framework.

2

Open your AI chatbot

Start a fresh session in whatever you already use — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Mistral, or your own model. AIR depends on none of them in particular.

One requirement does apply: the boot bundle is ~130k tokens, so use a model tier with a 200k-token context window or larger. On smaller windows the files load only partially — and a partially loaded AIR role-plays instead of running (see: real boot vs roleplay).

3

Activate AIR

Paste the boot bundle into the session. AIR loads, configures the environment, and takes over the structure of the work.

4

Answer the onboarding

AIR asks a short, deterministic set of questions to fix what you are building and how it should work with you — files, diffs, review, pace. That agreement scopes the whole session.

5

Work, with structure

From here AIR runs the work: roadmap first, one active step at a time, with the AIR objects printing into the chat so you can see exactly what it is doing.

6

Continue anywhere

When you stop, AIR emits a handoff card — a JSON block capturing the project and the next step. Paste it into a new session, on the same model or a different platform, to pick up exactly where you left off.

Is it actually running?

A real boot prints a formal AIR_SESSION object into the chat — structured JSON, not prose. If your model only describes AIR without emitting the object, it is role-playing, not running; re-boot or try another model. Behavior varies by model — some boot cleanly, some role-play, some refuse the files — so if yours refuses or role-plays, tell us in Discussions. More on the tell: real boot vs roleplay, or see a full session. The glossary defines AIR_SESSION and the other objects.

Good to know

The full reference — boot files, methods, and the concepts behind each step — lives in the repository. This page is the short path; the repo is the manual.

Ready when you are.

Grab the boot bundle and start your first session, or read the model behind it first.
