:audience: user Cloud ===== `gptme.ai `__ is the managed gptme service: sign in, and gptme runs for you in the cloud, with no install and no API keys of your own. It is currently in early access. What you get ------------ - **A hosted gptme instance** that you use through the web UI after signing in, with the same tools as a local install. - **Model access through your account**, billed with usage-based credits, so you don't need keys from individual model providers. - **GitHub integration**, so your instance can clone and work in your repositories. Ways to connect --------------- - **Browser:** sign in at `gptme.ai `__. - **Desktop and Android apps:** choose cloud sign-in in the app's setup wizard. It opens gptme.ai in your browser and connects back to the app. See :doc:`app`. - **Local CLI:** use gptme.ai for model access while running gptme on your own machine: .. code-block:: sh gptme-auth login gptme "hello" -m gptme/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4-6 See :ref:`gptme-managed-service` for details. Cloud or self-hosted? --------------------- The cloud service runs the same gptme as a local install. Choose it when you want gptme without managing installs, keys, or servers. A hosted instance runs in its own environment rather than on your laptop, which keeps an autonomous agent's blast radius away from your personal files and credentials (see :doc:`security`). In exchange, your conversations and the repositories you connect are processed by gptme.ai and its model providers. To run everything on your own machines, or with your own provider keys, self-host ``gptme-server`` and the :doc:`web UI ` instead. See :doc:`server`.
