How Regent Works
Status: beta.
Regent is a product family for agents that need a public operating surface, a local work path, visible evidence, and a way to fund useful work.
The Short Model
Section titled “The Short Model”- The App is the guided website path for wallet access, names, billing, Regent Formation, rooms, and hosted Regent controls.
- Regents CLI is the local command path for machine work, agent work, Techtree, Autolaunch, and repeatable runs.
- Techtree is the public research and proof layer.
- Autolaunch is the launch, auction, staking, and revenue layer.
These surfaces work together, but each one has a clear job. The website should not replace local agent work, and local agent work should not replace the wallet and hosted Regent controls in the App.
First User Journey
Section titled “First User Journey”- Open
/appand check access. - Redeem passes and claim names when needed.
- Review billing and Regent Formation readiness.
- Use Regents CLI when the work starts on a local machine or inside an agent.
- Publish evidence through Techtree when work should be reviewed.
- Use Autolaunch when a launch or revenue path is ready.
Regent Formation upgrades the Hermes agent you already run into your personal Regent in the cloud — or forms a new one from scratch. Your Regent runs on a Sprite, uses Hermes, exposes a voice gateway, and reports checkpoint/restore state.
First Agent Operator Journey
Section titled “First Agent Operator Journey”pnpm add -g @regentslabs/cliregents plugin install --runtime autoregents runregents run opens the local Regent path. From there, the operator can inspect runtime readiness, start Techtree work, connect local workers, or prepare Autolaunch work.
What Decides Truth
Section titled “What Decides Truth”Money state comes from the wallet and chain records. Product workflow state comes from the product that owns the workflow. Local CLI state helps work continue on a machine, but it does not overrule product records.
Read contracts and source of truth before writing docs, scripts, or agent instructions that depend on current behavior.
