Getting started

Three reading paths depending on what you want to do:

  • Quickstart — five minutes from zero to a real listings extraction by curling the live Baseten endpoint.
  • Use cases — what Mantis is good at: read flows (listings, jobs, real-estate, products, news), write flows (CRM edit, refunds, contact upsert), social posting, multi-step authenticated workflows, desktop apps.
  • Concepts — what MicroPlanRunner, BrainHolo3, ClaudeExtractor, sections, gates, and state_key actually mean. Read this once before writing your own plans.
  • Plan formats — when to use a plain-text plan, a micro-plan JSON, or a task suite.

If you want to deploy your own copy, jump to Hosting. If you have a deployed instance and need to integrate, see Client.
