Use this optional guide if you are unsure what to select in the deployment
wizard. If the choices already make sense, continue with the quickstart.
Options, offers, and availability can vary. The signed-in deployment wizard
is the authority for what you can select and the exact terms you are asked
to confirm.
Choose Agent software
Agent software is separate from the Cloud Agent run path. Cloud Agent
describes where the Agent runs and who manages its runtime. Agent software
determines the interface and workflows you use with that Agent.
When these options appear, the released wizard describes them this way:
Do not infer availability if an option is not shown. Make this choice before
AI access because the providers and models you can use can depend on the
selected Agent software.
Choose AI access and a model
Decide whether to use Clawdi AI, a saved AI Provider shown as usable, or model
access that you configure inside the Agent after deployment. Then choose a
primary model from the options the wizard presents for that access method.
Read Configure Cloud Agent AI access for the
differences between these paths, including how Clawdi AI and external provider
usage are handled.
Choose compute
Compare the resources, current price, billing terms, and availability shown in
the wizard against the work you expect the Agent to do. For a paid choice,
review the funding method and exact confirmation shown before continuing.
Compute and model usage are separate cost boundaries. The live wizard and the
Agent’s settings are the sources of truth for current compute offers; this
documentation does not reproduce them. See Cloud Agent usage and
billing for the durable billing boundaries.
Personalize the Agent
Choose a recognizable name, then review the language and timezone the Agent
should use. You can review language and timezone later in the Agent’s
Settings. These preferences do not change the run path or Agent software.
Review before you deploy
Check that the summary shows the intended Agent software, AI access and model,
compute choice, name, language, and timezone. Review any payment confirmation,
then submit the deployment once and return to the Cloud Agent
quickstart to wait for Running.
