You’ll see the Billy chat interface in your terminal.

2. Say hello

Just type a message and press Enter:

> Hey Billy, what can you help me with?

3. Try some commands

Type / to open the command picker and browse all available commands.

Or try these:

/model              ← see available models
/pull llama3.2      ← download a model
/memory             ← see what Billy remembers

4. Let Billy remember things

Just tell Billy naturally:

> Save that I prefer short, direct answers

Billy stores these and includes them in every future conversation.

5. Resume a previous session

/history            ← browse past conversations
