Getting Started with Symphony

From download to a working setup: install, choose Local vs Company mode, and run your first project.

The Symphony package contains baton (message router — start it first),
coda (coding agent), and chorus (team-chat app), plus setup.ps1 and a
bundled docs/GETTING-STARTED.md.

Install

  1. Unzip, open PowerShell in the folder, run .\setup.ps1.
  2. Upgrade later with .\update.ps1 (settings/keys/hub connection preserved).

Two modes

  • Local (default): standalone, no hub. You set the AI provider/model/key on

the machine. Best for solo work and quick tests.

  • Company (hub-governed): registered to a Continuo hub, which manages and

locks the model, project, teams, and workflows.

Local quickstart

  1. Start baton.exe, then coda.exe.
  2. Settings → AI: set your provider + model + key (Anthropic, OpenAI-compatible,

or Ollama for local models).

  1. Open a project (a codebase folder) and start chatting / assign a task.

Company Mode**. Full offline guide: docs/GETTING-STARTED.md in the package.
