Head to install.getindigo.ai↗ and download the installer. Pick a folder for your HQ, create your account, and set up your first company. While you wait, the installer runs dependency installs in parallel and sets up the Sync app.
Pick a folder, create your account, set up your first company. Dependencies install in parallel while you configure.
Once installed, open the Sync app with the keyboard shortcut below. This keeps your local HQ in sync with the cloud — files, knowledge, and session state travel with you across devices.
Open your HQ folder in Claude Code or Codex. Run /setup to finish initial configuration — it wires up commands, verifies dependencies, and prepares your workspace.
Setup complete
Start a fresh session in your AI tool. Each session is a clean context window — no accumulated noise from prior work.
Run /startwork [company-slug] to begin.
This resolves your company context, loads policies, surfaces available worker routes, and persists session metadata. It's how HQ knows what you're working on and what tools are available.
Session started
Ready to work. Pick a story or describe what you need.
Create a knowledge file or skill — if you're not sure where to start, a knowledge file is a good default. This is where your team's context lives: decisions, architecture, specs, playbooks.
Created knowledge file
Knowledge files are available to every session automatically.
Sync your work using /hq-sync, or just tell your AI to sync. You can also click Sync in the app bar (top-right corner of the Sync app).
Run /hq-share or tell your AI to share. This mints an encrypted share link your teammates can use to pull the files into their own HQ.
Share link created
Send the link to your teammate — they redeem it in their own HQ.
Run /handoff when you're done.
Handoff preserves your session state, regenerates indexes, and writes a thread file so the next session picks up exactly where you left off. No context lost between sessions.
