Documentation

Everything you need to get started with Evident — run your runner on your own machine and reach it from Slack, GitHub, email and the web.

Get started

What Evident is, and the mental model: your machine ⇄ Evident ⇄ Slack, GitHub, email & web.

Run OpenCode on your own machine with the Evident CLI and connect it to Evident.

Connect an AI provider to your runner, and see which providers it can use.

Every CLI command, flag, and environment variable.

Deploy a runner into your own AWS account and wire it to Evident.

Review new pull requests automatically, and @mention your runner on issues, pull requests and discussions.

Message your runner from Slack — default runner, per-channel and inline overrides, questions and permissions.

Give a runner its own address, then email or forward it a thread — the reply comes back in the same thread.

Have a runner start work on its own — a fixed message sent daily or hourly.

Get notified when something happens to your runner — most usefully, when work arrives for a stopped one.

The vocabulary Evident uses — runners, OpenCode agents, conversations, runner keys and teams.

Teams, roles, signing in from the command line, and runner keys.

Read the Introduction to understand what Evident does, then follow the Quickstart to create your first runner in under five minutes.
