Value Proposition

Confab collapses multi-model chat, consensus synthesis, PR review, and document iteration into one cohesive app with persistent history and strict per-user workspace isolation.

Quick Start

If your environment is already configured, use these three examples:

1. Running the app

make dev

2. Using the REST API

curl -X POST "http://localhost:7777/api/auth/magic-link" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"email":"you@<your-domain>","email_redirect_to":"http://localhost:7777"}'

3. Using the CLI

source venv/bin/activate
python -m confab "Compare the strategic pros and cons of launching this week vs next week."

If you change files under frontend/src/, rebuild shipped browser assets:

source venv/bin/activate
pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
pnpm run check:frontend

For complete setup, API auth flow, and deployment instructions, see Get Started. For internal module boundaries after the refactor, see Architecture.

Contributing

The simplest way to contribute is by joining open discussions or picking up an issue:
