Your first OKR in five minutes.

Check Node.js

You need Node.js 22.13 or newer.

$ node --version
# v22.13.0 or higher

Don’t have it? Get it from nodejs.org or run nvm install 22.

Install OKR.ai

$ npx okr-ai@latest

$ npm install -g okr-ai
$ mkdir my-okrs && cd my-okrs
$ okr-ai

It starts on localhost:3000.

Add an AI key (optional)

The first run makes a secret key for you in data/.secret-key. To give everyone one AI key, add it to a .env file next to data/, or paste a key later in the AI model panel:

# One AI key for everyone
OKRAI_AI_PROVIDER="anthropic"   # or openai, deepseek, openrouter
OKRAI_AI_KEY=""

Say who you are

Open localhost:3000 and enter your name and role. No email, no code: it’s just you, on this computer.

Ready to work with others? Collaborate at the top right sets up sign-in, a shared database and the AI model, and gives you a join code for your team. See Bring in your team.

Add your team

Use the + under your node to add reports, or upload a whole org from Team import. When you turn on team sign-in, they sign in with those emails and land in their place.
