Source: https://github.com/Intelligent-Internet/genii/blob/main/docs/community/setup.md

### External services and keys

Requirement: The agent computer requires an E2B account with a desktop template and your own OpenAI API key.

### Not yet in production

Limitation: The first milestone is intended for local development and does not yet promise production-ready self-hosting.

Source: https://github.com/Intelligent-Internet/genii/blob/main/docs/community/roadmap.md

### Scope of this stage

Limitation: Telegram, Discord, billing, and production use are excluded; iMessage is optional and beta.

Source: https://github.com/Intelligent-Internet/genii/blob/main/docs/community/roadmap.md

### Backend must be running

Limitation: v0.1 has no wake-up service when the local backend process is offline.

## Example workflows

### Try a calendar reminder

- Your input: Set up a calendar trigger with test data in a local development environment.
- Possible result: The trigger can prepare a message while the backend is actively running.
- What to check: Consider the HTTPS callback, filters, and running backend service.

### Personal research briefing

- Your input: Specify a topic and several approved URLs for a test run.
- Possible result: The agent can retrieve content and create a briefing in chat.
- What to check: Check sources, sandbox access, and runtime in the development milestone.

## Context

Early open-source milestone. The project currently does not promise a production-ready self-hosting solution. Test with sample data first.

Documented local development milestone; not production-ready self-hosting or a wake-up service for a stopped backend process.
