Get set up

Set up your account, sign in to your AI model provider, and add your first secure device — so your agent is ready to work.

Your account & access

Everything starts in the Console dashboard. From there you manage your subscription, set up your agent, add secure devices, and open support sessions. You don't need to touch anything technical — the dashboard is designed to keep internal settings tucked safely out of sight.

Sign in to your model provider

Your agent uses an AI model provider (Codex / ChatGPT) to think. You sign in once so it can use your account.

  • Open your OpenAI security settings

    In your OpenAI / ChatGPT account settings, open the Security tab.

  • Turn on device code authorization

    Find Device Code Authorization and switch it to Enabled.

  • Try signing in again

    Come back to Arc Forge Console and retry sign-in from the Model Provider card.

  • Add a secure device

    A device is the computer your agent runs on. You can add a Mac, Windows or Linux machine.

  • Start enrollment

    In the dashboard, go to Devices and choose Enroll New Device.

  • Run the installer

    Follow the secure companion installer steps for your operating system.

  • Wait for the green light

    Console runs a quick connection check and shows a green Ready indicator when the device is good to go.
