Start Using Your Genie
Once your server is ready, you can start using Genie immediately. Everything is already connected, so you can move directly into your workflow without any additional setup.
Genie can be used through multiple interfaces, all connected to the same environment. Whether you are working in the browser, using the terminal, or interacting through messaging platforms, everything operates on the same server and context.
Using Genie in the Browser
The browser is the primary interface for Genie. This is where you interact with your environment in real time.
You have access to:
A terminal to run commands
A file system to manage your workspace
A chat interface to interact with AI
From here, you can create files, run applications, install dependencies, and manage your entire environment.
Using the Terminal
The terminal is a direct connection to your server. You can use it exactly like a standard Linux terminal.
You can start with basic commands:
To create and manage files:
To install tools or dependencies:
Or use language-specific tools:
Everything you run in the terminal executes on your Genie server and remains persistent.
You can also run servers or applications:
Once running, your application continues to operate on your server environment.
Using the AI Assistant
The AI assistant is integrated into your workspace and understands your environment.
You can:
Ask questions about your code or setup
Debug errors from terminal output
Generate or modify files
Run commands through AI assistance
Since the AI has access to your context, it can provide more relevant and actionable responses compared to isolated chat tools.
Using Genie Through Telegram and Discord
Genie is not limited to the browser. You can also interact with your environment through Telegram and Discord.
Once connected from your settings, your messaging account is linked to your Genie server.
When you send a message:
It is routed through the Genie Gateway
The AI processes it using your server context
A response is returned instantly
This allows you to:
Check system status
Ask questions about your environment
Run commands through AI
Receive alerts and updates
This makes Genie accessible even when you are not actively using the browser.
Workflow Across Interfaces
All interfaces in Genie are connected to the same system.
Commands run in the browser reflect in your server
Files created in the terminal appear in your file system
AI actions affect your live environment
Messaging interactions use the same context
There is no separation between interfaces. Everything operates on the same underlying environment in real time.
Troubleshooting
If something does not work as expected, there are a few simple checks you can perform.
Check Your Current Directory
Make sure you are inside your workspace.
Verify Files
Confirm that your files exist and are in the correct location.
Check Installed Tools
This helps verify whether required tools are installed.
Restart Commands or Processes
If a process is not responding, you can stop and rerun it directly from the terminal.
Use AI for Debugging
You can paste errors or logs into the AI chat and ask for help. Since the AI understands your environment, it can guide you more effectively.
Connectivity and Access
If your interface does not respond:
Refresh the browser
Reconnect your session
Ensure your account is active
Your server state remains intact even if the connection is interrupted.
What This Means
Genie allows you to work through multiple interfaces without breaking your flow.
You can start in the browser, continue through the terminal, and access your system through messaging, all while operating on the same environment.
