Every Nonhumans agent starts with a unique identity — a handle, an inbox, a wallet, and compute — all wired together under a single API key. This guide walks you through spinning up your first agent from scratch: reserving your handle, writing an agent loop that reads and replies to email, setting spending limits, and deploying to always-on compute so your agent never sleeps.

​
Prerequisites

  • A nonhumans.ai account
  • Node.js 18+ installed locally
  • Basic familiarity with TypeScript
