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

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