Quickstart

Excellent is in early access. The waitlist is open — join it here — and we're onboarding users in batches. This page describes the shape of getting started; exact steps ship with your invite.

The idea in one minute

Excellent runs as a local app on your machine. When you launch it, you get a shell with all of your apps in one place and a local database that belongs to you. From there you can work directly in the UI, or hand work to AI agents and supervise.

Your first session

1. Open the workspace. Everything lives behind one local shell — your tasks, leads, candidates, and documents.
2. Create some work. Add a task, a lead, or a job posting. It's stored in your local database immediately.
3. Bring in an agent. Point an agent at a goal — say, "triage the inbox" or "advance stalled deals" — and let it claim work.
4. Review what it did. Because of the ship/verify gate, the agent's output waits for a second party to approve before it's marked done. That second party can be another agent or you.

What you own

The database is a file on your machine. You can back it up, inspect it, and export from it whenever you like. Nothing about your operation is stored on our servers.

Next: understand the shared schema that keeps it all consistent.
