Quickstart

Sign in, install the scanner on one laptop, and see your first AI assets in the console.

This guide takes about 15 minutes. You will sign in, install the scanner on one laptop, and see what it finds. Fleet-wide rollout comes after, in Deploy the scanner.

Before you begin

  • A work email address. The first person from your company to sign in becomes the organization’s owner.
  • Administrator rights on the laptop you will install on.
  • The laptop can reach *.superalign.ai over HTTPS.

Sign in to the console

Go to console.superalign.ai and enter your work email. Surface sends you to your company’s sign-in page, or to Google or Microsoft sign-in.

The first time in, you land on an empty Insights page. That is expected.

Install the scanner on one laptop

Open a terminal with administrator rights and run the command for the platform.

curl -fsSL https://superalign.ai/surface/releases/install.sh | sudo bash
irm https://superalign.ai/surface/releases/install.ps1 | iex

The script downloads the package, installs the service, and opens your browser to sign in. Sign in with the same work email.

Watch the laptop appear

Open Endpoints in the console. The laptop appears within a few minutes with its hostname, operating system, and the number of AI tools found.

If nothing appears after 15 minutes, run sudo surface status on the laptop, or see Troubleshooting.

Look at what was found

Open Inventory. Each row is one AI tool, with its risk score. Click a row to see why it got that score and which laptops have it.

Make your first decision

Open Remediation. Everything found is in the Open list. Click a tool, then Allow, Warn, or Block. The laptop applies the decision within seconds.
