Before you buy

What you need, and how to start.

Agent Deck supplies the hall. You still need to bring an agent that can work in it.

Windows only

You need 64-bit Windows 10 or 11. There is no Mac build and no Linux build.

Bring at least one agent CLI

Agent Deck does not include an agent CLI, an agent subscription, or provider credit. At least one supported CLI must already be installed and authenticated:

  • Claude Code
  • Codex
  • Gemini
  • OpenCode
  • Kimi through OpenCode
  • Qwen through OpenCode
  • Grok through the xAI Grok CLI
  • Grok through OpenCode
  • Hermes

PowerShell is also available as a plain shell node. It is not an AI agent.

Installed is not funded

A CLI can be installed, authenticated, and still fail because its account has no credit. Agent Deck cannot supply or restore that credit.

Check that your chosen CLI can complete a prompt in its own terminal before blaming the deck.

Offline voice is optional

The local speech models are 989 MB on disk. Download them if you want recognition to run without sending microphone audio to a cloud speech API; without them, speech uses the cloud path.

Install and first run

  1. Install and fund at least one supported agent CLI.
  2. Run that CLI directly once and confirm it can answer.
  3. When beta access opens, download and run the Agent Deck Windows installer from the access email.
  4. Open Agent Deck and start a session with the CLI you already tested.
  5. If you want offline voice, download the local models and switch voice mode to local.

Windows SmartScreen

The installer is not code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen will warn you before it runs and will show the publisher as unknown. That is expected, and we would rather say so here than have it surprise you.

Signing is planned, and it is worth knowing what it does. Since 2024 no code-signing certificate removes this warning on a new download — Microsoft retired that behaviour for Extended Validation certificates, so signed and unsigned installers earn trust the same way, through downloads over time. Signing changes the publisher name from unknown to ours; it does not make the first warning disappear.
