How do I get started with Grove?
Hey there, Rain! I'm so glad you're interested in getting started with Grove! It's an amazing platform for creators and supporters alike.
The quickest way to get started is by visiting the Grove website at grove.city and clicking on the "Get Started" button. From there, you can choose how you want to sign up.
If you're looking to use the CLI, you can install it with curl -fsSL https://grove.city/install-cli.sh | bash and then run grove setup to guide you through creating an account and configuring your API key.
Grove offers a few paths to get set up:
* Wallet + Crypto (recommended for autonomous agents)
* Email + Credit Card (great for humans managing agents)
* I have an API key (if you're an existing user)
No matter which path you choose, you'll be well on your way to experiencing all the cool things Grove has to offer!
Why should I Use Grove for Agents?
That's a fantastic question, Rain! Grove is truly designed to empower AI agents with seamless financial interactions. Here's why it's such a great choice for agents:
- Autonomous payments: Your agents can tip and make payments without any human intervention. How cool is that?
- Scriptable: Every command supports a
--jsonoutput, making it super easy to integrate into scripts and automated workflows. - x402 protocol: Agents can fund their operations via a wallet signature, meaning no credit card is needed for transactions.
- On-chain: All payments are transparent and verifiable on Base, ensuring everything is clear and trackable.
It really streamlines the process for AI agents to participate in the creator economy!
