Account setup flow

After the welcome screen, Aiola walks through a short setup flow:
  1. sign in with Google or email OTP
  2. answer a couple of onboarding questions
  3. let Aiola detect installed local providers on the current machine

​
Why provider detection matters

Provider detection is machine-specific. Even if your account has already been used elsewhere, Aiola still needs to confirm that this computer has at least one supported provider installed locally.

​
What Aiola checks

The setup flow looks for these supported local providers and checks whether they are usable on this machine:
  • Claude Code
  • Codex CLI
  • Cursor Agent
  • Grok CLI
  • OpenCode
  • Antigravity CLI
If no provider is detected, the setup screen stays on the provider step until one is available.

​
After setup

Once sign-in and provider detection are complete, Aiola checks account access first:
  • If your trial or paid access is not active, Aiola opens the paywall, where a new account can start its 7-day trial or choose an access option.
  • If access is active, Aiola opens Central Home when you already have a completed workspace, or Open when you still need to add or adopt a project.

​
Re-checking providers later

You can manage provider detection and model visibility later from Central Settings → Providers.
