Quickstart

Before you start

You need an account on app.rerun.build. Rerun starts with a 5 day free trial. Nothing to install. Everything happens in the browser.

1. Sign up

Open app.rerun.build. You land on the board, the isometric view where your Boxes and coworkers live, with a sign-in dialog on top. Right after signing up you answer three short questions about your sector, your team size and your role. They only decide which templates you get shown first.

2. Pick your first coworker

The template library opens on its own, filtered on the sector you picked. Two ways forward:

3. Place it on the board

The toolbar switches to placement mode. Tap a tile and the coworker takes its spot. Your first coworker needs a Box, and Rerun draws one for you. Behind it, your workspace claims its machine from a pool of ready ones: a private cloud computer, isolated from every other account, that hosts every coworker you place. It takes a few seconds.

4. Run the guided setup

A coworker that came from a template usually needs to be connected to your own accounts. When it does, the chat opens on a Start installation button instead of a message box. Click it and the coworker walks you through its own setup: it tells you what it needs, offers to install the apps it is missing, and asks you for the values only you can give. You answer in the chat, exactly like a conversation. When the setup is done, the coworker switches on the scheduled tasks and webhooks it shipped with, and tells you what it can do and when it will next run.

5. Talk to it

You now have a normal message box. Ask it for something. While it works you see every step: the files it reads, the searches it runs, the tools it calls. If it needs a decision, it stops and asks you, right in the chat.

6. Let it run without you

Two ways to make a coworker work while you are away. You can add both from the coworker panel, or just ask the coworker to set them up for you.
