Setting up PAI

Plug it in, pair your phone, answer a 15-minute interview, and decide what PAI will and will not do.

Diagram of the four PAI setup steps

Four steps

Setup is designed for people who have never run a server.

  • Plug in power and a network cable.
  • Scan the pairing code with your phone to install the PAI app.
  • Answer the first-boot interview, about 15 minutes.
  • Read and edit the plain-English page of what PAI will and will not do.

Weekly check-in

A short weekly check-in keeps your profile current. Everything it learns stays on the box.

PAI OS on your own computer

PAI OS installs on your own x86-64 mini PC with 16 GB of memory or more. You flash the image to a USB stick, boot from it and follow the same four steps.

Hardware is coming soon.
