Know Michi

Three ways to use the same agent. Look around freely; sign in to download. Bring your own local models or provider keys.

Which Michi should I choose?

Start with Michi VS Code. You can add Michi Go later — both use the same engine and settings.

A real Michi Desktop session in a new folder: the app ran a real model (gemini-3.5-flash-lite), edited a file and ran its tests. A script typed the task and pressed Approve; idle seconds were trimmed from the start.

Build the .vsix with `npm run package` in clients/vscode, then install it. Not published to a marketplace yet.

A real michi go session in a new folder with a real model (gemini-3.5-flash-lite). A script typed the task and answered the approvals; the recorded terminal output is replayed at its original timing in a terminal emulator, and idle time after the finish is cut.

What this command does

Installs the michi package, Ollama and a default model. The repository is private today, so GitHub CLI must be signed in as a collaborator (gh auth login). On Windows use install.ps1. Local use needs no Michi account.
