What it does

• Describe it, get a wizard. Say in plain words what you do again and again – a post with an image, a research briefing, an invoice, a quote, a damage report – and engenty builds a wizard for it: pages that ask what it needs, AI steps that do the work.
• AI steps do the work. They research the web, write, draw images, render video, read PDFs, scans and emails, build documents and dashboards, and write into other services over MCP, HTTP or a browser. Anything that changes an account asks first.
• Share it with a link. Anyone can run a wizard in the browser, on a phone too: camera, code scan, voice notes, location and a drawn signature included. Results download as PDF, Word, HTML, Markdown, PNG, MP4, MP3, CSV, Excel or JSON, or go out as a link.
• Send the result on. From the result, by email, into Google Drive, OneDrive or S3, to a Slack channel, through any connected service, or onto a website the wizard opens in its browser – you sign in yourself and confirm before anything goes public.
• Runs on your machine, on your subscription. It uses Codex, Claude Code, Antigravity or Cursor Agent when one is installed and signed in, so no API key is needed. Or bring a key (Vercel AI Gateway, OpenAI, Anthropic), or a local model through Ollama. Your wizards and results stay in a folder on your machine.

How it looks

The studio: a wizard’s steps as a flow with its branches, next to the conversation that changes them.

A wizard in use: it asks on one page, then on the next, and ends with the result to download or share.

Get started

Create an account at engenty.ai: it is in a closed beta, so “Get started” takes your email for an invitation, or your invitation code. Signed in, the studio asks who your team is, reads your website into your space, takes first documents, and you build your first wizard in the browser. Links run day and night on the team’s credits.

Install it on your computer

The same account on your own machine: it runs on your Claude, ChatGPT, Google AI or Cursor subscription, reads your local files and browses for you, and what you publish keeps running in the cloud behind the same links. On macOS or Linux, in a terminal:

curl -fsSL https://engenty.ai/install.sh | bash

On Windows, in PowerShell: irm https://engenty.ai/install.ps1 | iex. With Node.js 20 or newer on the machine, npx wizards does the same.

It needs nothing but curl and tar and asks for no password. It brings its own Node.js (a Node you already have is left alone), installs engenty wizards into ~/.engenty/wizards and then walks you through the rest:

• Your engenty account. “Sign in or create your account now?”: a link and a code, and the browser for the sign-in, which also creates a new account (with your invitation code); what you publish on this computer then runs in the cloud too. Esc while it waits, or say no, and wizards account sign-in does it any time. --local leaves the account out: nothing leaves the computer, links answer on it only (local only).
• An AI client. It looks for Codex, Claude Code, Antigravity and Cursor Agent and offers to install the missing ones – first the one whose app (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor) is on your Mac, as its subscription is most likely yours already. The first page of the studio installs them too. Or use your account’s credits, an API key, Ollama or, on a Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 26, Apple Intelligence.
• A browser and ffmpeg (optional): Chrome, Edge or Chromium (on a Mac also Brave) for PDF and PNG exports and for steps that use a browser, ffmpeg for MP4 videos of animated widgets.
• Start at login (optional): engenty wizards starts in the background when you log in (a LaunchAgent on a Mac, a systemd user service on Linux). Links and AI clients then always reach it. wizards autostart on or off switches it later.
• Your AI apps (optional): adds your wizards to the AI apps it finds, such as Claude Desktop, Cursor or Codex. wizards connect and wizards disconnect do it later.

It starts nothing. Afterwards:

wizards start

starts it and opens the studio; it runs while that terminal is open, Ctrl-C stops it. wizards start -s starts it in the background instead. wizards opens a menu with all of it, wizards status says what is installed and what runs, wizards setup runs the guided setup again, and wizards --help lists the rest.

Install it as an app. In Chrome or Edge the studio installs as an app: its own window, its own icon in the Dock or taskbar. The studio offers it in a banner at the top; or click the install icon at the right of the address bar.

From source

You need Node.js 24.11 or newer and pnpm 10 (corepack enable).

git clone https://github.com/engenty/wizards.git
cd wizards
pnpm install
pnpm build
pnpm wizards

pnpm may list “Ignored build scripts” – that’s expected, nothing to do.

Code steps (shell, Node, Python) run in a sandbox when Docker and the sandbox image are on the machine; a checkout brings its own sandbox, the installed version has none yet.

First start

The setup shows your account at the top and asks how the AI should run. Pick an AI client that is installed on your computer – engenty uses your existing subscription and signs it in for you in a terminal right on the page – your account’s credits, Apple Intelligence on a Mac that has it, or your own keys. It stays until a test call works, then the studio opens.

Change it later under Settings → Models.

Using it

• Make a wizard: describe it in the studio’s chat, or start from one of the templates. You see the steps as a diagram and can change any of them.
• Run and share: try it yourself, then share the link. Shared results are kept for 7 days for people without an account. “Teilen” on a result also sends it by email, saves it to a cloud folder or posts it: Sharing a result.
• Connect services: Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar, Contacts, Outlook, OneDrive, Slack, GitHub, HubSpot and S3 are built in; any other service can be added from its API description or MCP server through the integrations.sh registry. Services that sign in with OAuth need a few settings first: Connectors.
• Build from Claude Code or Codex: Settings → Integrate adds engenty wizards to your AI apps (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others), or wizards connect from a terminal.

Your machine only answers on localhost. To let others open shared wizards, run it on a server.

Your data

Everything lives in ~/.engenty/wizards/data: the databases and the files of your wizards and results. Keys you enter are kept in the Keychain on a Mac, elsewhere encrypted in that folder. Back up the folder; delete it to start over. Settings go into ~/.engenty/wizards/.env (see .env.example); ENGENTY_HOME moves the whole install.

pnpm start in a checkout keeps its data in the data folder next to the code instead.

Update

wizards update

This runs the installer again without its questions. The studio says in a banner at the top when a newer release is out and can run the same update from there or from its About dialog. From source: git pull, pnpm install, pnpm build. Your data is brought up to date at the next start.

To remove engenty wizards, run wizards uninstall (or npx wizards uninstall if the command no longer runs). It shows what it will remove first: your AI apps' entries, the login item, every running process, ~/.engenty/wizards and ~/.local/bin/wizards. Your data in ~/.engenty/wizards/data is kept unless you choose to delete it, and a reinstall picks it up again. --dry-run only shows the plan, --yes runs it without questions and keeps your data, and --yes --delete-data deletes your data too.

Run it on a server

With Docker, behind an https proxy (Caddy, Traefik, Coolify):

git clone https://github.com/engenty/wizards.git
cd wizards
cp .env.example .env    # set APP_URL to your https address and add a model key
docker compose up -d --build
docker compose logs     # shows the link to open once

Point the proxy at port 8891. On a server, engenty uses your keys or Ollama; the AI clients’ subscriptions live on your own computer. The code sandbox is off in this image.

Troubleshooting

| | | |---|---| | “This link is no longer valid” | The link works once. wizards open gives this browser a new one. | | wizards: command not found | Open a new terminal, or run ~/.local/bin/wizards. | | You open it under another address | Set APP_URL in ~/.engenty/wizards/.env to the address you open. | | An AI client shows as not signed in | Sign it in on the setup page, or in your own terminal (e.g. claude, codex login), then “Check again”. | | PDF or PNG export fails | Install Chrome, Edge or Chromium (on a Mac also Brave), or set CHROME_PATH to one. | | Port 24368 is taken | The next free port is used. To fix one, set API_PORT in ~/.engenty/wizards/.env. | | Something else | wizards doctor checks the install. |

More settings: .env.example.

For developers

Development server, checks, how it is built, the managed mode: docs/development.md.

Plugins add tools for steps, routes with their own tables and pages in the studio, without changing the runtime: docs/content/dev/plugins.

The documentation – a user guide and the developer docs – is in docs/content and is a site of its own: pnpm dev:docs.
