Setup Wizard
The Setup Wizard runs automatically the first time you open noHuman Team. It walks you through everything you need to get your noHuman team running. You can also re-run it later from Settings → Run Setup Wizard.
2.1 Choosing Your AI Provider
Your noHumans need a "brain" to think with. That brain comes from an AI provider — a company that runs large language models in the cloud. You connect noHuman Team to a provider using an API key (a password-like code that gives your noHumans access).
Supported Providers
noHuman Team supports 13+ providers out of the box including Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Mistral, Groq, xAI, Together AI, Fireworks AI, Perplexity, Cohere, and Ollama (local models). See the full list in the Environment Variables docs.
How to Get an API Key
Never done this before? No problem. Here's how:
For Anthropic (Claude):
- Go to console.anthropic.com
- Create a free account
- Click API Keys in the left sidebar
- Click Create Key
- Copy the key (it starts with sk-ant-)
- Add a payment method — you'll pay per use (typically a few dollars/month for moderate use)
For OpenAI (GPT-4):
- Go to platform.openai.com
- Create a free account
- Click your profile icon → API Keys
- Click Create new secret key
- Copy the key (it starts with sk-)
- Add a payment method under Billing
For other providers, visit their website to create an account and generate an API key.
Using a Claude or ChatGPT Subscription (No API Key Needed)
If you have a Claude Pro/Max or ChatGPT Plus/Pro subscription, you can use it instead of an API key:
- For Anthropic: Select Anthropic, then switch to the "Subscription Token" tab. Run
claude setup-tokenin a terminal with Claude Code installed and paste the token. - For OpenAI: Select OpenAI, then switch to the "Subscription Token" tab. Run the OpenClaw setup-token command and complete the OAuth flow.
This lets you use your existing subscription without a separate API key or billing setup.
Which Provider Should I Pick?
- New to AI? Start with Anthropic (Claude). It's great at following instructions and produces high-quality output.
- Already using ChatGPT? OpenAI is a natural fit. Similar models, familiar feel.
- Want the best quality? Either works well. Try one, and you can always switch later.

Configuring your team template and noHuman names
This step lets you customize your noHuman team before launch. Everything here is optional — the defaults work great.
Choosing a Team Template
The first thing the wizard asks is which team template to use:
| Template | Roles |
|---|---|
| Startup Team | CEO, Developer, Marketer, Automator |
| Dev Squad | Tech Lead, Architect, Coder, QA |
| Content Factory | Content Director, Writer, Editor, SEO |
All three templates are included — pick whichever fits your work. Each template comes pre-configured with optimized role prompts and routing rules — your noHumans know how to coordinate from the start.
Default Team Roles — Startup Team (default)
Your team comes pre-configured with four noHumans:
| noHuman | Default Name | Role |
|---|---|---|
| CEO | CEO | Coordinates, delegates, reviews |
| Developer | Dev | Writes code, builds features |
| Marketer | Marketer | Content, copy, strategy |
| Automator | Automator | Scheduling, monitoring, background ops |
Customizing noHuman Names and Roles
Want to rename your noHumans? Click on any name to change it. This is purely cosmetic — it changes how the noHuman introduces itself and how it appears in the dashboard.
Model Selection
If your provider offers multiple models, you can choose which model each noHuman uses. For example:
- Give your Developer the most capable model for complex coding
- Use a faster, cheaper model for the Automator's background tasks
The wizard shows recommended defaults. You can change these anytime in the dashboard.

Launching your team — noHumans coming online one by one
Once you've configured everything:
- Review your settings on the summary screen
- Click Launch Team
- Wait about 30 seconds while noHuman Team starts up your noHumans
You'll see a progress bar as each noHuman comes online. When all four are ready, the dashboard opens automatically and your noHumans introduce themselves in the team chat.
What if something goes wrong?
- If a noHuman fails to start, check your API key is still valid
- If the whole setup stalls, close and reopen noHuman Team — the wizard will resume where you left off
- See the Troubleshooting section for more help

Assigning models and pairing Telegram after launch
After your team launches, you'll land on the post-setup screen. This is where you:
- Assign AI models — expand each noHuman row to pick which model it should use. A progress bar tracks how many are configured.
- Pair Telegram — message any noHuman in Telegram and it replies with a pairing code. Paste it here to authorize your account.
- Click Finish Setup when ready — the dashboard opens and your team starts working.
