Getting Started with Archeus

Archeus is a super agent harness that orchestrates sub-agents, memory, and sandboxes to do almost anything — powered by extensible skills. It is built for deep exploration and efficient research flow. Unlike traditional AI chatbots that simply respond to prompts, Archeus actively works on your behalf — browsing the web, running code, manipulating files, and coordinating multiple specialized agents to accomplish complex tasks.

The platform is designed for developers, researchers, analysts, and creative professionals who need more than just text generation. Archeus provides a complete execution environment where your instructions are broken down into sub-tasks, assigned to parallel agents, and executed simultaneously within secure sandboxes. The result is fast, reliable output that you can verify and act on.

At its core, Archeus combines three powerful capabilities: extensible skills that define what the system can do, sub-agents that handle parallel execution, and a secure sandbox that isolates all code execution and file operations from your local machine. This architecture enables everything from simple research tasks to complex multi-stage automation pipelines.

Visit archeus.si and click the Start Free button to create your account. You can sign up with your email address or use a social login provider for faster onboarding. The free tier includes generous monthly credits that let you explore all core features without entering payment information.

Once you complete the authentication flow, you land on the main dashboard. The dashboard provides quick access to your recent conversations, project workspaces, and the prompt box where you start new tasks. Take a moment to explore the sidebar navigation — it gives you access to chat history, saved projects, settings, and the skills marketplace.

Before diving into your first task, head to the Settings page to configure your preferences. You can set your default model, adjust output preferences, and connect external integrations like Notion or GitHub. These settings persist across sessions, so you only need to configure them once.

Click the prompt box at the center of the dashboard and type a natural language instruction. For example, you can ask Archeus to research a topic, analyze a document, generate a report, or automate a workflow. The more specific your instruction, the better the output — but even vague requests produce useful results as Archeus clarifies ambiguities through its reasoning process.

When you submit a task, Archeus analyzes your request and decomposes it into sub-tasks. Each sub-task is assigned to a specialized sub-agent that operates in parallel. You can watch the progress in real time as agents browse websites, execute code, read documents, and compile results. The entire process typically completes in under a minute for most tasks.

After the task completes, review the output carefully. Archeus provides source attribution for web research, execution logs for code tasks, and structured summaries for analysis work. You can ask follow-up questions, request modifications, or export the results in your preferred format.

Skills are modular capabilities that extend what Archeus can do. The platform ships with built-in skills for web browsing, file manipulation, code execution, data analysis, document generation, and API integration. Each skill is self-contained and can operate independently or in combination with other skills.

The built-in skills cover most common use cases, but the real power comes from custom skills. You can create skills to match your specific workflow — whether that is pulling data from a proprietary API, processing files in a specific format, or running domain-specific analyses. Custom skills inherit all the security and sandboxing capabilities of built-in skills.

Skills are composable, meaning you can chain them together to build sophisticated automation pipelines. For example, you might create a pipeline that browses a website, extracts pricing data, processes it through a transformation skill, and generates a formatted report — all from a single prompt. Archeus execution engine handles the data flow between skills automatically.

Archeus maintains long-term memory across sessions. It records your preferences, project context, conversation history, and learned patterns so every interaction builds on the last. This means you do not have to repeat instructions or re-explain context in new conversations.

The memory system operates at multiple levels. Session memory captures the immediate context of your current conversation. Project memory maintains context across related conversations within a workspace. Global memory stores your preferences and learned patterns that apply across all interactions.

You have full control over what Archeus remembers. The memory settings page lets you review stored information, delete specific entries, or adjust what the system is allowed to remember. This transparency ensures you maintain control over your data while benefiting from persistent context.

With your account set up and your first task complete, you are ready to explore the full power of Archeus. Start by experimenting with different types of tasks — research queries, code generation, document analysis, and workflow automation. Each type of task exercises different skills and demonstrates different capabilities.

As you become more comfortable with the platform, explore advanced features like custom skills, project workspaces, and team collaboration. The skills marketplace offers community-created skills that extend Archeus capabilities in specialized domains. You can also create and share your own skills with the community.

The Archeus documentation at archeus.si/docs provides detailed guides for every feature, API reference for developers, and best practices for building effective automation pipelines. The community forum is another valuable resource for learning from other users and getting help with specific use cases.
