Install Robobox

Before you start

You need these five things:

  1. A Mac with Apple Silicon.
  2. A licensed Microsoft 365 user mailbox.
  3. A tenant admin, who runs entra-app.sh and grants consent.
  4. An Anthropic API key.
  5. A Microsoft Teams channel with a Workflows webhook.

The tenant admin runs entra-app.sh one time, after az login into the tenant that owns the mailbox. The script makes the Entra app and prints its application (client) ID and directory (tenant) ID.

sh entra-app.sh

Steps

  1. Open the .pkg file that Savantly sends you, and follow the installer. It puts Robobox in /usr/local/robobox and the robobox command in /usr/local/bin. The install is for each user of the Mac.
  2. In Terminal, run robobox setup. It asks for the two IDs, then signs in to the mailbox in the browser, then asks for the API key and the webhook URL, and then starts the background agent. If a step fails, correct the cause and run robobox setup again: it skips each step that is done.
  3. Run robobox open to see the operator UI.

To upgrade, open a newer .pkg. The agent restarts on the new version, and keeps its access to the Keychain items.

Request early access to get the .pkg.
