Start
Install Biilda and get your first build going.
Getting started with Biilda
Download Biilda, sign in, and build your first AI employee or scheduled task by describing it in Chat. A plain-English first-run guide for the desktop app.
Install Biilda on Windows or Mac
How to download and install the Biilda desktop app on Windows or macOS, what the first launch looks like, and how automatic updates keep it current.
Build
Describe it in Chat, then shape your employees, tasks and skills.
Chat: build by describing, approve the plan
How Chat works in Biilda: describe what you want, review the plan it proposes, accept it, and stop, retry or resume work whenever you need to.
AI employees and departments
Create AI employees with a role and instructions, group them into departments, turn them on safely, and watch what they do in Biilda's Employees tab.
Tasks and schedules
Create Biilda tasks that run on demand or on a schedule, pick a quality tier for each, enable them safely, and check every run in the Tasks tab.
Skills: playbooks your AI employees use
Create, import and attach Biilda skills, reusable playbooks that make employees perform like specialists, and control which skills each one can use.
Connect
Link the services you use, including Slack.
Connectors: link the services you use
Connect Gmail, Slack and other services to Biilda, browse the directory, add your own MCP server, and check or disconnect a connection at any time.
Connect Slack and message Biilda
Connect Slack to Biilda with a guided three-step setup, then message your AI employees from a channel, approve actions with cards, and get notifications.
Control
Approvals, permissions, backups, updates and privacy.
Approvals and permissions: you stay in control
How Biilda asks before it acts: permission prompts, the Approvals tab, always-allow choices, folder access, and reviewing or revoking what you allowed.
Backups, restores and automatic updates
Biilda snapshots your setup before every change so you can restore a previous version, and it updates itself automatically. Here is how both work.
Privacy and local data: what stays on your machine
What Biilda keeps on your computer, what leaves it, how sign-ins and files are protected, and how to delete your local data. Plain-English privacy guide.
Account
Sign-in, credits, and fixes for common problems.
Sign in and manage your Biilda account
Create a Biilda account, sign in with email or Google, reset a password, and find your balance, top-up and billing from the desktop app or the website.
Credits, top-ups and the spend cap
How Biilda credits work: 1 credit is one cent, top up from $20, a $100 monthly spend cap you can change, and what happens when work runs low mid-task.
Troubleshooting Biilda
Fix common Biilda problems: a task that does not run, a paused reply, a connector that will not connect, a missing installer, and how to report a bug.
