Console overview
The AlphaAgent Console is the web portal where you manage your AlphaAgent account: your organization, billing, license keys, and Studio release downloads. It is the starting point for every customer, and the only place you interact directly with PrometheusRL.
The Console is a portal, not a deployment service
The most important thing to understand about the Console is what it does not do: it never deploys, manages, or accesses your AWS account. AlphaAgent Studio runs entirely in your cloud — you download a Studio release bundle from the Console and deploy it yourself with python3 studioctl.py install (see Deploying Studio).
PrometheusRL holds no credentials to your account and performs no cross-account actions. The only ongoing link between a running Studio and the Console is a secure, signed telemetry channel that carries license activation, heartbeats, and usage metering — described in License Keys.
What you can do in the Console
| Area | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Sign-up & onboarding | Create your login, set up your profile and organization, add a payment method |
| Organization & members | Your tenant, members, and invitations |
| Billing & subscriptions | Payment methods, invoices, and a usage summary |
| License keys | Create and manage license keys, monitor deployment health and usage |
| Downloading Studio | Browse available releases and download the deployment bundle |
Who uses the Console
The Console is built for account owners and administrators — the people who manage the commercial relationship, issue license keys, and hand a release bundle to whoever deploys Studio. End users who build and run agents do all their work inside Studio itself, not in the Console; see the Studio Guide.

How the Console relates to Studio
A typical lifecycle ties the two together:
- You sign up and complete onboarding (profile, organization, billing).
- You create a license key and copy its one-time License Token.
- You download the latest Studio release bundle.
- Your technical team deploys Studio into your AWS account using the bundle and the License Token.
- The running Studio activates against the Console and begins sending heartbeats; the Console license page turns healthy within minutes.
