condensate Condensate is currently a developer preview. The source repository is private; this setup guide requires repository access. The public documentation and interactive product demo are available to read without an account.
This guide starts the runtime and Dex from a local checkout.
Install dependencies
Use the Bun version pinned in the root package.json (currently 1.3.13).
git clone https://github.com/condensate-dev/condensate.git
cd condensate
bun install --frozen-lockfile
Start the runtime
In a terminal at the repository root:
bun run --cwd packages/agents-host start
The default listener is http://127.0.0.1:4741. The default data directory is ~/.condensate/agents-host; it contains threads.db and large-payload storage. Do not point a second runtime at the same live data directory.
Check the connection
curl -fsS 'http://127.0.0.1:4741/threads?limit=5'
curl -fsS http://127.0.0.1:4741/workspaces
A successful read confirms that the runtime answers. An empty thread list is normal on a fresh installation. It does not confirm that a model account is configured.
Open Dex
In a second terminal at the repository root:
bun run --cwd apps/dex-app dev
Open http://127.0.0.1:5189. Dex forwards runtime requests to port 4741. Configure accounts and a workspace before expecting a new model task to run.
Add repository review
The review hub is a separate service. Its default port is 4700. From the repository root:
cd apps/gt-review
bun run build
bun run build:webapp
GTR_REVIEW_AGENTS=0 bun dist/cli.js hub --no-open
From another terminal in apps/gt-review, register a checkout:
bun dist/cli.js register /absolute/path/to/checkout
GTR_REVIEW_AGENTS=0 disables the hub's automatic reviewer start path for this startup. Repository review and runtime chat have separate upstreams; a working chat does not establish that the hub is running.
Read these docs locally
bun run docs:dev
Open http://127.0.0.1:5192. The docs server serves static documentation only and does not connect to your agents or credentials.
