  1. Click on the Autonomy logo in the sidebar to open the Autonomy panel.

    1. Select which kind of SSO login you prefer, either connect to Google, GitHub, or choose an email and password (we recommend using a Google or GitHub account to sign in)

      1. if you’d prefer to sign in with an email and password, find the temporary password sent to you by support@autonomyai.io

      NOTE: Make sure that the email you sign in with is the same email you got the invitation sent to

Fei Configuration Panel

NOTE: This step is optional. The configuration exists to allow you to customize the process and to improve the result

Click on the Fei Agent in the agent's carousel menu in the Autonomy panel.

Select Component folders for consideration

In the local component files, you can select the folders and files containing the components you’d like Fei to work with. You can change this between runs.

Output Directory (Optional)

You can specify an Output Directory, which is where Fei will place the new files it generates. It’s best to choose a directory that is already exposed to your local development server, so that the components can be rendered immediately without additional setup.

💡 Best Practice: Choose a directory where it can be rendered once the local server is running.

Change the style of code Fei creates!

Fei automatically learns how the code is written in your codebase and matches it. If it learns practices you want to change (often due to looking at legacy code from previous standards), you can easily correct them by editing them in free text!
