Try Helix in your browser

Start immediately with the web app, then move to desktop when you need local file access, terminal workflows, and full code intelligence.

What you can evaluate in web mode

  • Streaming chat and multi-model switching
  • Core agent workflows and skills usage
  • Session management and long-running conversations

What is limited in web mode

  • No direct local filesystem access from browser sandbox
  • No integrated local terminal workflows
  • Best for evaluation; desktop is recommended for daily engineering work

Recommended next steps

  1. Launch the web app and run one end-to-end task.
  2. Read the 10-minute quick start.
  3. Install desktop for full workspace and tool capabilities.
