How it works

From one command to a working crew

cobble installs on your own machine, thinks with your model, and gives you a coordinator to build the crew with. Here is the whole path.
1

Install it on your machine

One command on a Linux machine with Docker. The installer adds Docker if it's missing, then starts the app on port 7227.
$curl -fsSL https://url.moduletrace.com/cobble | sudo bash
2 CPU cores, 8 GB of RAM and 20 GB of disk cover the app and one computer
Run the same command to update. It backs up the database first
Put HTTPS in front of it before you open it to the internet
2

Create the first account

The first account is the super admin. Signing up also creates your coordinator and the main computer, which sets itself up in the background over a few minutes.
3

Connect a model

Open Settings, then Models, and add a provider. With an OpenRouter key, good free models are picked for you. Add your own paid keys, or point it at Ollama on your own hardware.
Keep fallback on, and a bot carries on with the next model when one is resting
Give a bot its own models for text, media reading, transcription, speech or images. Anything unset uses the defaults
4

Tell the coordinator what you need

The coordinator is your one chat with the whole crew. Describe a job and it proposes a bot for it, then creates the bot, or a workspace, once you agree. You can add them yourself too.
Each bot gets a name, a one-line job, its own instructions and its own colour
Give it a workspace, a computer, MCP servers or tools as the job needs them
5

Let the crew work

Bots answer in chat, run longer tasks in the background on their computers, and keep routines on a schedule. The coordinator hands tasks to the right bot and reports back.
Each bot's face shows its state: idle, working, done, asleep or needs you
Start a fresh session when the topic changes. The last one's summary comes along
6

Step in when a bot needs you

When a decision is yours, or only you can sign in or solve a captcha, the bot says it needs you. Take over its computer, do the one thing, and hand it back in chat.
Install it on your phone and get a push notification when a bot needs you
7

Bring in your team

Add members and choose what each one reaches: a workspace, one bot or a few, and the computers those bots use. Everything else stays out of sight.

Meet your first bot

Add a bot, give it a job in plain language, and come back to finished work. On your machine, with your key.
