Set obot up for the way your team works.
obot runs in the cloud, but every simulation runs on a local agent — right next to your licenses and files. How you install and run depends on your team's size and setup, so we've mapped the common profiles below.
Create your workspace
Sign up with your work email and verify it. Your workspace is a private, single-tenant slice of obot cloud — invite teammates and assign roles from the Admin area once you're in.
Create free accountMeet the two agents
obot never runs simulations in the cloud — a local agent does, right next to your licenses and files. There are two kinds. Which one you install (sometimes both) depends on your setup.
Desktop agent
Runs as a desktop app
A tray app on a person's own laptop or workstation. Use it when the same machine both submits and runs jobs, or when someone only needs the UI to push local files.
Windows service
Runs as a background service
Installed on dedicated simulation machines so they run jobs unattended, around the clock — even with no one logged in. This is what joins a machine to your sim pool.
Which best describes your setup?
obot flexes from a single laptop to an enterprise sim fleet. Pick the profile that fits — the walkthrough below adapts to it.
Up and running.
Whichever path you took, jobs land in the same queue and dashboards — and you can automate the whole thing over the API.
