# Early Access
Coder Agents is available through Early Access for the community
to evaluate while the product is under active development.
Participation comes with important expectations and limitations described
below.
## What Early Access includes
Early Access is a collaborative evaluation period between Coder and
participating customers. It includes:
- **Direct collaboration with the Coder product team** — work with Coder
engineers and product managers to share feedback, discuss use cases, and
influence product direction.
- **Architecture and functionality documentation** — basic documentation
covering how Coder Agents works and how it integrates into existing
deployments.
- **Feedback sessions** — periodic check-ins with the Coder team to discuss
real-world usage.
- **Early exposure to new capabilities** — access to new features or
experimental functionality before public release.
## What Early Access does not include
Early Access is not a production-ready offering. It does not include:
- **Formal support coverage** — no SLA-backed support.
- **Stability guarantees** — features and behavior may change without notice.
- **Production readiness guarantees** — functionality may not yet meet the
reliability or scalability expectations of a GA feature.
- **Complete documentation or tooling** — operational guidance may be
incomplete and will evolve.
- **Long-term compatibility guarantees** — APIs, configuration models, or
workflows may change before General Availability.
## Feature scope
Functionality available during Early Access may be a subset of planned
capabilities. Some features may be incomplete, experimental, or subject to
redesign.
## Set up Coder Agents
Coder Agents is available by default. No experiment flags are required.
To get started:
1. Navigate to the **Agents** page in the Coder dashboard.
1. Open **Admin** settings and configure at least one LLM provider and model.
See [Models](./models.md) for detailed setup instructions.
1. Grant the **Coder Agents User** role to users who need to create chats.
Go to **Admin** > **Users**, click the roles icon next to each user,
and enable **Coder Agents User**.
1. Developers can then start a new chat from the Agents page.
## Licensing and availability
Features provided during Early Access may become paid licensed
features at General Availability.
Participants will receive reasonable advance notice before:
- Coder Agents reaches General Availability
- Early Access functionality transitions to a paid offering
## Providing feedback
Participants are encouraged to share workflow feedback, feature requests,
performance observations, and operational challenges. Feedback channels are
coordinated directly with the Coder product team.

### Deploy to a non-production environment
### Plan for change between releases
Coder Agents is under active development. APIs, behavior, and configuration
may change between releases without notice. Run your evaluation on a
dedicated test or staging deployment to avoid disruption to production
developer workflows. See [Early Access](./early-access.md) for the full
set of expectations and limitations.
