# Introduction (https://optakt.ai/docs)

Optakt One gives you an agent of your own. It runs on your agent's machine, talks with you on Telegram, and keeps what it learns: what is true now in its memory, what happened in its archive, and every message in full. You choose from the [supported models and connections](/docs/models), and it does real work on the machine it runs on.

Everything it needs comes in one install: the database, the search, the tools to read documents and voice notes, and an admin app to manage it all.

## How to get started [#how-to-get-started]

1. Check the [requirements](/docs/requirements): a Linux server or a Mac, a model provider and a Telegram account.
2. [Get a licence key](/docs/licence). The installer asks for one.
3. [Create a Telegram bot](/docs/telegram-bot). It is how you talk to your agent.
4. [Install](/docs/install) with one command.
5. [Start your first conversation](/docs/first-conversation).

## Where things are [#where-things-are]

**Working with it** explains what your agent does: [chat](/docs/chat), [spaces and teams](/docs/spaces), [memory](/docs/memory), [credentials](/docs/credentials), [models](/docs/models) and [principles](/docs/principles).

**Running it** covers the machine side: the [admin app](/docs/admin-app), [upgrades](/docs/upgrade), [backups](/docs/backups), [data and privacy](/docs/privacy) and [troubleshooting](/docs/troubleshooting).

**Reference** lists the [plans](/docs/plans), the [commands](/docs/commands), the [configuration](/docs/configuration) and the [RPC protocol](/docs/rpc).
