Two commands.
One real local Flyte cluster.

The Flyte 2 devbox is a self-guided way to preview Union.ai without a remote cluster. Install it and run a workflow to see how the AI runtime works, right on your machine.

Why start with the Flyte 2 devbox?

Local Preview

Same UI, smaller footprint

Tasks run in containers and report to a real UI, so what you see locally behaves like what you'd see remotely.

Zero Setup

A real cluster, not a mockup

Docker spins up the scheduler, object store, and UI locally, the same pieces that run in a production Union.ai deployment.

Self-Guided

Explore it on your own time

Install the SDK, start the devbox, and run a workflow yourself. It's yours to poke at for as long as you want.

Union.ai is built on Flyte 2, the open-source AI runtime. The devbox runs Flyte 2 on your machine, so everything you try locally is the same engine, execution model, and UI that Union.ai runs in production.
