Pre-release Quick-Start

Up and running in five minutes

Everything you need to get Ghosthread running on Windows 11. The public installer isn't available yet — this is the setup flow for early testers who have a pre-release key.

Step 1

Confirm your system

Ghosthread runs on Windows 11 (64-bit) with 4GB+ RAM and a modern multi-core processor. An internet connection is needed for complex reasoning — but Air-Gap mode runs entirely offline.

Step 2

Get a Gemini API key

Ghosthread is a BYOK (bring-your-own-key) app. Head to Google AI Studio, generate a free API key, and keep it handy for the setup wizard.

Step 3

Run the first-launch wizard

The first time you launch Ghosthread, a setup wizard walks you through:

Naming your AI instance (Ghosthread, Jarvis, Friday — your choice)
Your preferred user name for the assistant to use
Validating your Gemini API key
Selecting a neural voice and push-to-talk hotkey

Step 4

Your first command

Open the Mission Control dashboard. Type or speak any of these to try it out:

> "Check my system status"

> "What's on my screen right now"

> "Read the error in my terminal and tell me how to fix it"

> "Triage my unread messages and draft short replies"

Try Ghost Phantom

See every action before it happens

Toggle Ghost Phantom mode in the dashboard. Now when you ask for a complex task, every step appears in a translucent overlay — with a target, a short explanation, and a pause button. Your cursor stays untouched. Your typing keeps landing. And the overlay is invisible to screen recordings.

Learn more on the Ghost Phantom page.
