// so funktioniert es

So funktioniert es

  1. Clarify your goal

    Decide the first concrete outcome you want from it, so you can pick the right example, template or mode instead of exploring everything at once.

  2. Get the project

    Clone the repository (or install the published package) and skim its README quick start for the requirements for your platform.

  3. Install and configure

    Run the documented install step and set any required configuration — such as provider keys, data sources or local services — before the first run.

  4. Run your first task

    Execute the smallest documented example end to end, confirm the output is what you expected, then adapt it to your real data or workflow.

Häufige Fragen

Who maintains surf?

It is maintained by deta on GitHub (deta/surf), where the source, issues and releases live.

Is it free to use?

Yes — it is free and open source under Apache-2.0, which permits use, modification and commercial redistribution, with licence/notice retention.

Does it need a paid API key?

You choose — Surf works with local models (no key) or hosted providers with your own API key.

How does it compare to Notion or Obsidian with AI plugins?

Compared with Notion or Obsidian with AI plugins, surf's distinguishing focus is: deta Surf — personal AI notebooks that organise files and webpages and generate notes from them. Pick it when that focus matches your need; the alternative may suit you better if its broader or different scope is the priority.

How do I get started?

Clone https://github.com/deta/surf (or install its published package), follow the README quick start to install and configure it, then run the smallest documented example — the Run section on this page mirrors those steps.
