# Welcome to StackAI

An AI agent for your terminal, editor, and Telegram — that does real work through skills.

StackAI is an AI agent you run where you work. Tell it what you want — it reads your files, runs commands you approve, writes code, and pulls live on-chain data through **skills**. Use it in your terminal, on the web ([Vibe](/web/vibe.md)), or on [Telegram](/telegram/telegram.md).

```bash
npm install -g stackai
stackai login
stackai
```

{% hint style="success" %}
**Free to start** — 50 requests/day, no credit card. Sign in with X at [usestackai.com](https://usestackai.com) to grab a key.

### What makes it different

* **It does real work** — reads and writes the actual files in your project and runs commands you approve.
* **Skills, not hard-coding** — load a [skill](/skills/skills.md) for a task, or [install more](/skills/installing-skills.md) from any GitHub repo.
* **Multi-surface** — the same agent in your terminal, on the web, and on Telegram.
* **You stay in control** — bring your own model/keys ([Venice](/the-cli/models.md), [Bankr](/skills/bankr.md)); your trading key never leaves your machine.
* Powered by **Xiaomi MiMo v2.5 Pro** with a **1M token** context window.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.usestackai.com/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
