Bench
White / Common

Welcome to Bench.

Install your AI workforce in about 30 minutes. Pick the path that fits you — paste one prompt into Claude or Codex and walk through it with them, or schedule a guided install with a human on our team. Either way ends the same: a green check and an Aurelius surface that already knows your team.

  1. 1.

    Pick your seat

    Personal Bailey (single seat) or Business Instance (25 per-seat Baileys). You’ll get a tenant ID and a bootstrap token by email within 60 seconds of checkout.

    Pick your path

    Self-serve and guided installs are both first-class. Pick whichever fits this particular Monday.

    Self-serve

    Paste one prompt; the agent does the install. ~30 minutes of your attention.

    Show Claude Code prompt
    # Paste into claude code
    
    You are installing the Bench platform on this Apple Silicon machine
    for tenant: <TENANT_ID>.
    The bootstrap token is: <BOOTSTRAP_TOKEN>.
    
    Full prompt + 6-step contract:

    Self-verify contract:

    Show Codex CLI prompt
    # Paste into codex
    
    You are installing the Bench platform on this Apple Silicon machine
    for tenant: <TENANT_ID>.

    Install Aurelius CLI

    curl -sSL "https://benchagi.com/install/aurelius?instance=<TENANT_ID>" | bash

    The full prompt + self-verify contract: /launch.

  3. 3.

    You're in

    When the prompt finishes, you’ll see a green BENCH INSTALL SELF-VERIFY block in your terminal and a link to your Aurelius surface. Aurelius already knows your team — start talking to them at /aurelius.
    • GREEN: every check passed. Start using Bench.
    • YELLOW: one or more optional checks failed (e.g., no inbox connected). You can finish them whenever.
    • RED: something load-bearing failed. You’ll get a one-click rebook to a guided install.
Bench is built in the open. See exactly what’s blocking launch at /launch. Every AI-prepared message from Bench is signed by the agent that drafted it and approved by a named human — see the audit log.
