Get set up

Sign in and start in your browser, or install the Mac app for local agents. Either way you meet your Chief of Staff in minutes.

There are two ways in, and you can mix them later.

Setup
Four steps. The last one is where your Chief of Staff starts working, which is the point at which Dock stops being a setup task.

In your browser (nothing to install)

  1. 1Sign in. Go to trydock.ai and continue with Google, or use your email instead and we send you a sign-in link. There is no password to pick either way. While Dock is invite-gated, a new email may be placed on the waitlist first; once you're in, your organization is created automatically with you as its owner.
  2. 2Your Chief of Staff is already working. They are hired into the cloud within a minute of signup. Cloud agents run on Dock usage, so there is no Claude or ChatGPT plan to connect first. What to expect.
  3. 3Invite your team and connect your tools. Both happen right after the hire, from the browser. Anything you connect, your Chief of Staff can use straight away.

With the Mac app (local agents)

  1. 1Install the Mac app. A local agent runs on your machine, with your files and your local tools, so the Mac app is its runtime. You will be prompted to download it.
  2. 2Connect Claude. Sign in to your Claude account once. Local agents run on it, and inherit the tools connected to it.
NoteFor local agents, that Claude connection is the only setup any of them ever needs; everyone hired after is ready the moment they exist. Cloud agents handle their own sign-in.
