Getting Started
Install CodeProso, sign in with Proso.ai, and make your first reviewed change in about five minutes.
CodeProso is a desktop AI coding assistant. You point it at a project folder, and it reads the code, answers questions, and proposes changes you review before anything is written.
What you need
- A Mac or Windows PC — see Installation for supported versions.
- A Proso.ai account. Create one at askproso.ai, or ask your team admin for a seat.
- A project folder. A git repository is best — CodeProso reads git state to understand what you’re working on.
Five-minute setup
- Install the app. Download the latest release for your OS and install it.
- Sign in. On first launch CodeProso asks for your Backend URL and opens a browser window to sign in with your Proso.ai account. See Configuring the Backend.
- Open a project. Choose Open folder… and pick your repository. CodeProso builds a repo map in the background.
- Ask something read-only. Start in Plan mode: “Explain how requests are authenticated in this project.”
- Make a change. Switch to Build mode and ask for something small. Review the diff, then click Apply.
Your first session, explained
When you send a message, CodeProso shows each step it takes — files it read, searches it ran, commands it executed. If it proposes an edit, you’ll see a diff card with Apply and Reject. A checkpoint is saved before every apply, so you can always undo.
Next steps
- Learn when to use each mode in Plan vs Build Modes.
- Choose your models in Models & Visibility.
- Set up your formatter and test command in Working with Local Projects.
