New to Comma? The [Quickstart](https://comma.surf/docs/quickstart) takes you from download to your first finished Task.

## What the guides cover

- **Agent**: asking in chat, following a Task to the end, and the briefing Routines prepares before your day starts.
- **Salix**: how the agent harness runs Comma's agents, Loops that keep watch 24/7, attached devices, and external agent runtimes.
- **Self-host**: installing Comma, choosing its model provider, and keeping an instance current.
