Everything you need to get Groovy running — from hosting to multi-agent workflows. Follow these steps and you'll be fully set up.
Step by Step
13 steps to get fully set up.
1
Choose Your Hosting
Groovy is very powerful and we recommend you install it on your own computer — but that comes at your own risk. Groovy has the power to control your machine entirely, including deleting files if you give it that task. Alternatively, you can use a Groovy-hosted Mac. Note: Groovy cannot be self-hosted on a cloud provider.
2
Set Up WhatsApp
Choose between using your own WhatsApp number or a dedicated Groovy number via Kapso. Using your own number lets you interact with Groovy in group chats. The Kapso option gives you a US-based number.
3
Install Claude CLI
For coding and computer browsing features, Groovy uses Claude CLI. You must install it for those features to work. We recommend the Max plan at $100/month which gives you the special token. Detailed instructions are provided during onboarding.
4
Understand Pricing
Groovy uses Opus by default — a very capable but expensive model. We are highly token-efficient, and we only charge a 10% markup on top of your actual usage. No hidden fees, no surprise bills.
5
Connect UpReady
UpReady tracks your health and readiness so Groovy can factor that into your daily briefings. It's available on iOS only. You can set up the integration in Settings once you complete onboarding.
Head to the Data agent and connect your Google Calendar, Gmail, and other integrations — this makes Groovy much more powerful. Also head to the AI chat and create different Chat models. We recommend creating a photo chat with NanoBanana. Think of these agents as specialized sub-agents.
7
Explore Settings
Once onboarded, head to Settings and explore. You can set spending limits to control costs. Heartbeat is enabled by default — it sends you a WhatsApp summary of your life every 2 hours, but only works if you have a connected WhatsApp account.
8
Set Up Web Pixels
In the Data agent you can connect web pixels for your sites. This is useful because pixel data feeds directly into the Heartbeat, keeping you up to date on your site traffic without checking analytics dashboards.
9
Invite Team Members
You can invite team members to your account in Settings. This adds them to your workspace and you, as the admin, are responsible for all token consumption across the team.
10
Schedule Tasks
Tell Groovy what to do and when to run it. Scheduled tasks can send results to a WhatsApp group or create files automatically. Great for recurring reports, monitoring, and automations.
11
File & Browser Agents
Use the Files agent to create Excel spreadsheets, PDFs, or PowerPoint presentations. The Browser agent can visit any site — if you need to log in, tell Groovy and you can store your credentials securely.
12
Enable Firecrawl
The Data agent has a Firecrawl integration for deep research that needs web scraping. Use it for competitive analysis, data gathering, or any task that requires crawling multiple pages.
13
Use Multi-Agent View
Use the multi-agent view to control your agents in parallel. Groovy can run multiple tasks at a time. Be mindful of running too many scheduled tasks simultaneously — the queue can get full.
