# Twent Docs — Getting Started

> Step-by-step guides: install Twent, configure AI models, use tools, set up MCP servers. Everything you need to get started.

## Getting Started

### 1. Install Twent

Download the APK from https://twent.xyz and install it on your Android 8.0+ device.

Requirements:
- Android 8.0+ (API 26)
- 3GB+ RAM
- 500MB+ storage
- arm64-v8a architecture

No root required.

### 2. Configure Your AI Model

Open Twent → Settings → Model & Parameters Configuration → Choose provider:

**Cloud models (need API key):**
- OpenAI: gpt-4o, o1, o3-mini
- Claude: claude-sonnet-4, claude-opus-4
- Gemini: gemini-2.5-pro, gemini-2.0-flash
- Deepseek: deepseek-chat, deepseek-coder
- OpenRouter: Any model on the platform

**Local models (no API key, fully offline):**
- GGUF files via MNN
- GGUF files via llama.cpp
- MNN model files

### 3. Start Chatting

Open the chat screen and type a message. Try:

- "What's the weather today?"
- "Create a Python script to track my expenses"
- "Run ls -la in my home directory"
- "Open WhatsApp and send a message to John"

### 4. Enable Permissions (Recommended)

**Accessibility** (for UI automation):
Settings → Accessibility → Twent → Enable

**Display Over Other Apps** (for floating chat):
Settings → Apps → Twent → Display over other apps → Allow

## Core Concepts

### AI Agent

The AI agent sees your screen, understands context, and takes actions. It uses a floating chat bubble for easy access from any app.

### Ubuntu Terminal

Access a full Ubuntu 24.04 LTS terminal on your device. Run Python scripts, use Git, SSH into servers — all from your phone.

### Skills

Skills are behavior bundles that give your AI instant expertise. Install a code review skill and it knows how to analyze diffs. One tap, new capability.

### MCP Servers

Model Context Protocol servers plug your AI into external tools. GitHub, Slack, Notion, databases — any tool with an API.

### Memory

The AI remembers your preferences, past discussions, and important information across sessions. Everything stored locally.
