CorvinOS Handbook

Complete reference for the CorvinOS console — from first login to advanced agent pipelines.

CorvinOS is a self-hosted AI operating system that connects your messaging channels (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Email) to a fleet of AI engines through a privacy-first, compliance-ready console. This handbook walks through every screen, every setting, and every concept you need to operate the system effectively.
