Getting Started
Sign Up
Create your Chelar account and set up your first AI assistant.
Create an Account
Go to the Dashboard
Navigate to app.chelar.ai and click Sign Up.
Authenticate
Choose your preferred OAuth provider:
- GitHub — recommended for developers
- Google — quick sign-in with your Google account
Complete Onboarding
The onboarding wizard guides you through the initial setup — choosing your AI provider and connecting your first channel.
What Chelar Provisions
After signing up, Chelar automatically creates:
| Resource | Description |
|---|---|
| Tenant container | A dedicated AI assistant runtime (OpenClaw or ZeroClaw) |
| Data directory | AES-256-GCM encrypted storage for config and credentials |
| Subdomain | Your personal gateway at t-{id}.chelar.ai |
Your container starts in a suspended state until you connect your first channel and configure an AI provider. It will automatically resume when it receives its first message.
Two Dashboards
Chelar uses a hybrid dashboard model:
| Dashboard | URL | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Chelar Dashboard | app.chelar.ai | Platform management — billing, channels, logs, settings |
| Assistant Dashboard | t-{id}.chelar.ai | AI features — chat, prompts, cron jobs, plugins |
You'll use the Chelar dashboard for initial setup and channel management, then the assistant dashboard for customizing your AI's behavior.
