1. Go to app.honcho.dev

Create an account to start using Honcho. If a teammate already uses Honcho, ask them to invite you to their organization; otherwise, you’ll see a banner prompting you to create a new one.
Honcho Platform Dashboard
Once you’ve created an organization, you’ll be taken to the dashboard and see the welcome page. Honcho Dashboard Getting Started Each organization has dedicated infrastructure running to isolate your workloads. Until you activate a subscription under the Billing page, the infrastructure will be deactivated. You can check the status of your instance by going to the Status page. Honcho Status Page with No Subscription

2. Set up billing to activate your Honcho instance

Once you activate your subscription, your Honcho instance provisions automatically, and you can watch the status page until all systems show a green check mark. Performance Analytics Dashboard Here you can monitor your Honcho instance health, usage metrics, and performance analytics. See request volume, API response times, and endpoint usage across all your AI applications. You can also upgrade Honcho when new versions are made available.

3. Manage API Keys

Create and manage API keys for different environments. You can create admin-level keys that have access to the entire Honcho instance or scope keys to restrict access to Workspaces, Peers, or Sessions. API Key Management Dashboard

4. Test with API Playground

Use our Postman-like API playground to test queries, explore endpoints, and validate your integration. Send requests directly to your Honcho instance and see real-time responses with full request/response logging. API Playground Interface

5. Create a Workspace

On the explore page, you can see and interact with the data stored in your Honcho instance. You can create Workspaces, Peers, Sessions, and Messages. Explore Honcho Page

6. Peers & Sessions Management

Click into a Workspace to open up the Workspace dashboard. Here you can create Peers and Sessions, use the Dialectic API and add Messages to your Peer representations. Utilize your ability to search across all Messages in a Workspace. Workspace Dashboard Overview

7. Peer Utilities & Chat Endpoint

Select a Peer to open its utilities. From here you can search that Peer’s Messages, view participating Sessions, or edit its metadata. The Chat Endpoint allows you to send a query through the Honcho API to get information about the Peer’s representation. If you include the Session ID, the query will be scoped to Messages and the representation of a Peer within that Session.

8. Session Dashboard & Get Context

From the workspace dashboard, navigate to a Session to find options to add Peers, view Messages, and search across all Messages for a particular session. Use the Get Context feature to quickly generate output that fits into your LLM’s context window. Get a subset of messages with an optional summary based on the token count you input. The Session Context guide goes over how to use this in your agents Session Dashboard Overview
