Account Setup
Create your OpsSquad.ai account and set up your first squad
Before deploying nodes and agents, you need to create an OpsSquad.ai account and set up a squad to organize your infrastructure.
Create Your Account
1. Sign Up
Navigate to app.opssquad.ai/signup and enter your email address and a secure password.
2. Verify Your Email
Check your inbox for a verification email and click the confirmation link to activate your account.
3. Log In
Once verified, log in at app.opssquad.ai to access the dashboard.
Create Your First Squad
A Squad is a logical team of agents working together. Think of it as an environment (like "Production SRE Team" or "Development Squad") that organizes your AI-powered agents by purpose or function.
1. Navigate to Squads
From the dashboard sidebar, click on Squads.
2. Create a New Squad
Click the "Create Squad" button in the top right.
3. Configure Your Squad
- Name: Enter a name for your squad (e.g., "Production-SRE" or "DevOps-Team")
- Environment: Select the environment (Production, Staging, Development)
- Purpose: Add a description to help identify the squad's role
Optionally, configure AI settings or system prompts for the squad.
4. Save Your Squad
After clicking "Create", your squad is ready to host agents.
Create Your First Node
A Node represents the physical or virtual infrastructure where your agents execute commands.
1. Navigate to Nodes
From the dashboard sidebar, click on Nodes.
2. Create a New Node
Click the "Create Node" button.
3. Configure Your Node
Enter a name for your node (e.g., "Main-Server-01" or "Production-East-1").
4. Get Deployment Credentials
After clicking "Create", you'll receive:
- Node ID: A unique identifier for this node
- Token: The authentication token for deploying the node
Important: Save these credentials immediately! The token is only shown once and cannot be retrieved later.
Understanding Your Credentials
| Credential | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Node ID | Identifies the specific node | node_abc123def456 |
| Token | Authenticates the node with the platform | tok_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxx |
These credentials are used when deploying nodes via the CLI:
opssquad node install \
--node-id="node_abc123def456" \
--token="tok_live_xxxxxxxxxxxxx"Dashboard Overview
Once logged in, you'll see the main dashboard with:
- System Overview: Active agents, squad health, node status, and credit balance
- Quick Stats: Overview of your squads, nodes, and agents
- Sidebar Navigation: Access to Squads, Agents, Nodes, Team, and Settings
Billing & Credits
OpsSquad.ai uses a credit-based billing system:
- Wallet: Your balance of available credits
- Usage: Credits consumed based on agent runtime
- Top-ups: Purchase additional credits as needed
You can manage your subscription and view transaction history in Settings > Billing.
Note: New accounts typically include starter credits to help you get started. Check your wallet balance in the dashboard.
Next Steps
Now that your account is set up and you have a squad and node credentials, you're ready to deploy your first node.
