What do you want to do?

4 use cases

  • Run a private AI assistant on your own machine

    Start the full Ciele stack locally with one bootstrap script and sign in as the owner.

    View prompt
    In the ciele repository, run ./deploy/bootstrap.sh on <target machine>, then report the URL where the app is running and whether the database migrations finished without errors. Verify that the app responds at that URL before reporting success.

  • Build a support assistant from your website and FAQs

    Crawl your site, add files and FAQ pairs, and set a help desk for hand-off.

    View prompt
    In the ciele repository, set up an assistant that answers from <target website URL> and escalates to a help desk when no answer is found. Report the embed snippet and the result of one test question that should escalate. Verify that the escalated question appears as a handed-off conversation before reporting success.

  • Audit assistant answers from conversation transcripts

    Read real conversations with citations and log answer-quality fixes in the tracker.

    View prompt
    In the ciele repository, review the conversation inbox for <assistant name> and list the five weakest answers with their citations and the source each one used. Report them as a table with suggested knowledge fixes. Verify that each listed answer links to a real transcript before reporting.

  • Hand the Ciele install to a coding agent

    Let an agent clone, bootstrap, and verify a Ciele instance and report back.

    View prompt
    Clone the ciele repository from <repository URL> onto <target machine>, run ./deploy/bootstrap.sh, and report the app URL and any failed step. Verify that the app returns a response at that URL before reporting success.

How to use Ciele

  1. Check you have what it needs: A shell on a machine where ./deploy/bootstrap.sh can run; Git to clone the repository; Docker Desktop, if you use the Ciele Desktop app on macOS.
  2. Open MattiaIppoliti/ciele on GitHub and read the README and license.
  3. Clone the Ciele repository from GitHub (the README clone line is truncated here, so use the repo URL shown on the GitHub page), then run cd ciele.
  4. Run ./deploy/bootstrap.sh to generate secrets, start the database, apply migrations, and boot the app.
  5. Open the app address shown in the output, sign up, and keep the account you create as the organization owner.
  6. Optional: run ./deploy/bootstrap.sh --seed to start from populated demo content. (inferred, check the README)

These steps come from our top use case, Run a private AI assistant on your own machine, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
