Getting Started

What is Taurus?

Taurus is a powerful multi-agent orchestration platform.

You create AI agents and agent trees that run in their own isolated environments, give them instructions, and collaborate with them through a chat-based interface.

Each agent has its own filesystem, can run code, browse the web, and work together with other agents in teams. Think of it as giving AI assistants their own computers.

Before Taurus, power users of AI were drowning in 20 different terminal tabs with Claude Code, Codex, and other agentic sessions.

On Taurus, you can orchestrate hundreds of agents into trees, projects, mini-companies, run them on schedules, and stay sane while doing it.

How do I get in?​

Head to https://app.taurusagents.com and register.

Once registered, you will be sent to onboarding.

Onboarding​

After your first sign-in, Taurus walks you through two quick steps:

  1. Name your primary agent. The primary agent is your main coordinator. It knows Taurus well, is usually the best place to start, and can help you set up agent trees if you do not want to do that manually.

  2. Share your name. How should the primary agent call you?

Tip: For your primary agent, choose a simple name you’ll actually want to use often.

Learn Taurus UI​

The interface is a three-panel layout:

Agents tree (left)​

Your agents are organized in a tree structure. The primary agent is pinned at the top and marked with a star.

Each agent's status color shows its state: idle, running, waiting, or error. Later you can organize agents into folders, drag and drop to reorganize them, and use the New button to create more.

Main area (center and right)​

When you select an agent, you see four tabs:

  • Runs — conversation history with the agent. This is where you'll spend most of your time.
  • Editor — a file browser for the agent's container filesystem.
  • Terminal — a live shell session into the agent's container.
  • Settings — model, system prompt, tools, targets, scheduling, and more.

The top bar shows the selected agent's name and model.

Action buttons include New Run and Stop All. You'll also find notifications and the user menu here.

Installing as a PWA (optional)​

Taurus works as a Progressive Web App, so if you want, you can install it for a more native experience:

  • Desktop (Chrome, Edge): Look for the install option in the user menu, or use the browser's install prompt in the address bar.
  • iOS (Safari): Tap Share → Add to Home Screen.
  • Android (Chrome): Tap the browser menu → Install app, or use the install banner if it appears.

The PWA gives you push notifications and a dedicated window without the full browser frame.
