The Introduction — Framework 42
Walk the conversational onboarding Plane by Plane, approve artifacts, grant permissions, and discover your Constellation.
Framework 42 is your starting point in o42. It’s not a form or a step-by-step wizard — it’s a conversation with «o» that walks through your four Planes of life.
What you need before you start
- An AI model already connected (see Initial setup). If you haven’t, «o» will ask for one before starting.
- A real contact in mind for the Relationships step.
How the conversation works
Start from the hero card on your dashboard — one click opens it full-screen. The conversation runs in turns: «o» speaks on the left, you reply on the right, with the text field and the model selector at the bottom. It’s fully resumable — close it and come back exactly where you left off.
The journey, Plane by Plane
Onboarding moves Plane by Plane, and each one opens with its own intro card.
Plane 1 · Productivity
«o» talks with you about what you want to move forward, and proposes a first artifact: a Project with its Goal, which you confirm. It then suggests an icon and asks permission to read local files, explaining why — you decide to allow or defer, sovereignty always. Then comes the heart of o42: «o» recommends a Mental Model, the reasoning lens it will use to plan the steps toward your goal (use the suggested one or switch it), and generates concrete tasks you review — accept, regenerate, or skip. Nothing saves without your say-so.
Plane 2 · Relationships
«o» asks permission to access Contacts, again explaining why, and helps you identify the person who matters most right now through an autocomplete search.
Planes 3 and 4 · Community and Wellbeing
They follow the same pattern: you converse, «o» proposes artifacts, and you confirm them. In Wellbeing you define your first commitments.
Between Planes there’s a voluntary gate — continue now or defer. You set the pace.
The payoff: your Constellation
When you complete your first Plane, «o» reflects back what it learned about you so you can accept or correct it. That reflection feeds the finale: «o» composes your Constellation, your personal set of AI entities spread across the four Planes.
By the end of Framework 42 you have live projects, relationships, and commitments — and a Constellation ready to work with you.
