IntelligenceOS FAQ

The practical questions before you buy.

What it does, which download to use, what stays local and where the boundary sits between IntelligenceOS and the agent doing the work.

Why not ask my agent to build a project map?

You can. If you only need one inventory, that may be enough.

IntelligenceOS connects the questions asked before the scan, Git-aware mapping, protected paths, structured files, reusable skills, local failure diagnosis, handoffs and future release updates. You are buying a tested system you can keep using, rather than spending your own time designing and maintaining one.

Is it for new projects or existing ones?

Both. On a new project, it records the purpose, intended users, definition of done and protected areas before the folder grows.

On an existing project, it maps supported local files, instructions, tests and release surfaces so your agent can propose a clean-up from current evidence. It does not silently rename, rewrite or restructure anything.

What happens if a local setup route does not work?

IntelligenceOS leaves a local diagnosis with what stopped, likely causes and repair steps. Give that file to your agent first so it can start with the named problem.

The diagnosis stays on your machine. It does not send project data anywhere or authorise a repair.

Which download should I use?

Start with IntelligenceOS Agent Setup when your agent can read an attached ZIP, inspect local files and run commands. Tell it to read AGENT_MODE_START_HERE.md.

Keep IntelligenceOS Complete for the guided app, browser instructions, Mac and Windows launchers, manual setup routes and privacy-safe support report. Both are included.

Does Agent Setup depend on a particular AI tool?

No. A capable coding or content agent can follow the documented files even when its platform does not support automatic skill discovery.

If you approve installation, IntelligenceOS adds five focused skills and .agents/INTELLIGENCEOS_START_HERE.md to the project. That gives later agents one stable file to reopen.

What does the first run create?

A readable Project Brief and Project Map, a browser report, SQLite database, JSON and CSV evidence, Markdown guidance, an agent handoff and the next safe prompt. It also records scan coverage and whether anything was omitted.

Can I use it for a content website?

Yes. It can map the pages and local source material, topics already covered, obvious gaps, linking opportunities, claim rules and approval boundaries.

The included content workflow then helps the agent choose a real gap, research it, use your writing profile, check claims, prepare images and update the project record after you accept the work.

Can it make content sound like me?

The writing-profile skill turns your accepted samples into practical voice, structure, terminology and avoid rules. The profile stays in your project. Accuracy, source and safety rules still take priority over style.

Do I need Replicate for images?

No. Replicate is an optional paid route for stronger editorial image backgrounds and uses your own API access. Pillow provides a local, more basic fallback for covers, quote cards and frames around real screenshots.

Does it log into WordPress, Ghost or my hosting?

No. The current beta works from local configuration and exported files. Live CMS writes, publishing, deployment, account changes and credentials stay outside the default product and need a separate approved workflow.

Does it replace a security, legal or factual audit?

No. Its warnings help you and your agent notice missing context, weak connections and review needs. They are not specialist security, legal, medical, compliance or factual assurance.

What happens after I buy?

Stripe returns you to a secure MorpheOS delivery page with both downloads. Use Agent Setup first, or open 00_OPEN_FIRST.html inside Complete.

The purchase includes buyer-visible beta updates through the first stable v1 release and one first-run troubleshooting review if a supported setup route is materially broken. I will review the local diagnosis and tell you what to try next. Custom implementation is separate.

How do product updates work?

Updates through the first stable v1 release are included. A new release email links you back to your protected downloads, so you do not need to buy the product again.

From beta.4, the kit can check the public release record without sending project data and verify a new ZIP before you unpack it. Your agent can then preview any project update while preserving your existing rules. Read the update steps.

What do I need on my computer?

The local engine requires Python 3.11 or newer. The agent route works best when your coding or content agent can inspect local files and run commands. Mac and Windows launchers are included, but operating-system security settings vary.

What if I need someone to do more of the work?

IntelligenceOS is the self-serve product. MorpheOS also offers project reviews, guided build work, implementation, QA and ongoing support when you want direct help. See the services or tell me what you are building.

Do you offer refunds?

If you cannot access the downloads or a supplied file is materially broken, email within seven days and I will try to fix it; if I cannot, I will refund it. The immediate digital-supply terms and your statutory rights still apply.
