Installation & Access.

The Intern runs entirely in the cloud. There is nothing to install for standard use. Advanced users can self-host the backend on their own Cloudflare account.

Web dashboard

Access your agents from any modern browser. The frontend is a Next.js 15 application deployed on Cloudflare Pages at https://ai-agent-apb.pages.dev. It connects to the backend API at https://the-intern-backend.vksh1cool.workers.dev.

REST API

Every platform capability is available via the REST API. Base URL: https://the-intern-backend.vksh1cool.workers.dev. All endpoints require a Firebase JWT Bearer token in the Authorization header. The API returns JSON for all non-streaming endpoints and Server-Sent Events for chat streams.

BYOK — Bring Your Own Key

By default, the platform uses a shared Anthropic API key. For production use, add your own key in Settings → API Keys. Your key is stored encrypted in the users.preferences column and used exclusively for your agent calls. This gives you full control over model usage and costs.

Self-hosting

Clone the repository, configure backend/.dev.vars with your DATABASE_URL, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, and optionally GOOGLE_API_KEY (Gemini fallback) and OPENAI_API_KEY (OpenAI fallback), then run npm run deploy from the backend directory. The backend deploys to your own Cloudflare Workers account. The frontend deploys to Cloudflare Pages with npm run build.
