How-tos
Step-by-step guides to the most common Transit AI workflows. Each page is self-contained — you can land on it from a search result and have everything you need.
Setup
- Sign in — first-time sign-in to Transit AI Cloud.
- Create an auth profile — every backend type (keyring, SSH agent, 1Password, env var) explained.
- Find your user ID and organization ID — values to share with support or paste into a bug report.
Sessions
- Add a device — put a host in your inventory.
- Connect to a device — three equivalent ways to open a session.
- Edit a device — change host, port, vendor, auth profile, terminal preferences.
- Reconnect a closed session — press Enter to revive a tab.
- Split panes side-by-side — two sessions in one tab.
- Connect to a console cable — USB-to-serial for out-of-band access (tested cable).
- Export a session’s scrollback — save to disk with optional age encryption.
Per-device preferences
- Turn on syntax highlighting — colorize keywords and statuses.
- Turn on quick copy/paste — auto-copy on select, right-click and middle-click paste.
AI agent
- Use the AI agent — open the chat panel, ask a question, approve a command.
- Bring your own provider key — Pro-tier BYOK setup for Anthropic or OpenAI.
