The EAI documentation site is the single public entry point for the EAI CLI, eai-gofer, the EAI App Template, implementation examples, and the business scenario library.

Use this page when you are starting a new app, connecting an existing app to the platform, or trying to understand which part of the toolchain to use.

Current Release

The current CLI release is v3.2.9 (2026-06-18): Release tenant home region and Gofer updates.

What The Pieces Do

Piece	Use It For
eai CLI	Install, authenticate, scaffold apps, manage tenants, publish Object Types, work with resources, documents, chat, deployment, and diagnostics.
eai-gofer	Install and refresh AI workflow assets that help coding agents research, specify, plan, implement, and validate EAI work.
EAI App Template	Start a Next.js app with platform auth, tenant config, Object Types, ResourceAPI hooks, document hooks, chat hooks, and config-driven UI patterns.
Scenario library	Browse business examples by industry before deciding what to build.

Install The CLI

npm config set @eai-tools:registry https://eai-tools.github.io/eai/registry/ --location=user
npm install -g @eai-tools/cli
eai --version

Create A New App

eai init task-tracker
cd task-tracker
npm install

eai init uses https://github.com/eai-tools/eai-app-template by default and installs gofer workflow assets unless you pass --no-gofer. If you already created and entered a project folder, run eai init, enter the kebab-case app name, and choose the current-folder option. Scripts can use eai init task-tracker --current-dir. Current-folder init preserves unrelated existing files and Git metadata, and updates files that are part of the generated scaffold.

Connect To A Tenant

eai login
eai tenant list --format json
eai tenant select <tenant-slug>
eai whoami

Keep tenant IDs, secrets, endpoint URLs, and cloud credentials out of committed files. The browser app should call its own BFF at /api/eai/...; it should not receive raw downstream credentials.

Publish And Verify The Data Model

Object Types are the platform contract for tenant-scoped resource data.

eai types validate
eai types seed --tenant-key <tenant-key> --tenant-id <tenant-id> --format json
eai types diff --tenant-key <tenant-key> --tenant-id <tenant-id>
eai resources schema --tenant-id <tenant-id> --format json
eai verify calls --tenant-id <tenant-id> --resource-type <resource-type>

Do not build app workflows on top of a tenant until eai types diff converges.

Use eai-gofer In A Repo

eai gofer refresh --check
eai gofer refresh

Use gofer to keep agent instructions, plan templates, service-fit checklists, and public-safe platform references aligned with the CLI and app template.
