# NeoAgent documentation

NeoAgent is a self-hosted AI agent that runs continuously on a macOS or Linux
server. It provides an operator interface for chat, automation, integrations,
memory, recordings, and connected devices.

NeoAgent is beta software. Install it on a machine you administer, start with
restricted tool permissions, and read the security guide before connecting
sensitive accounts.

## 🚀 Start here

```bash
npm install -g neoagent
neoagent install
```

The installer starts the service and prints any host-specific action items.
Open `http://localhost:3333` when it finishes.

Continue with:

- [Install and complete the first run](getting-started.md)
- [Choose and configure a model](models.md)
- [Understand the security boundaries](security-boundaries.md)
- [Migrate from OpenClaw or Hermes](migration.md)
