Getting started with Jazz

Use this path if you have not run Jazz before.

1. Install Jazz and run your first agent.
2. Create an agent for a specific job.
3. Learn the CLI: resume work, attach files, and control runs.
4. Choose a next step:
   • build a CI reviewer using OpenRouter or a self-hosted model;
   • create a reusable accountability persona named Goggins;
   • combine a cheap text model with specialist media companions;
   • run locally with Ollama, llama.cpp, vLLM, or SGLang;
   • reach the agent through a chat surface;
   • run work headlessly or on a schedule;
   • create a chart or interactive dashboard with compositions;
   • keep Jazz working with goals and loops;
   • connect MCP servers or a web-search provider.

To remove Jazz later, uninstall lists everything it puts on the machine.

Jazz uses one agent definition across every surface. You do not need to recreate an agent when you move from the terminal to a script, schedule, webhook, or chat bot.
