Try the demo

Pincer has a built-in demo, so you can look around before you set up a gateway. It runs a simulated Gateway on your device with sample agents, chats, streamed replies, a chart and an exec approval. Nothing leaves your device.

Choose Try the Demo:

  • on the welcome screen the first time you open Pincer, or
  • in the Add Gateway sheet (click + in the rail).

The demo shows up in the rail like any other gateway. You can remove it whenever you like.

Send a message and watch the reply stream in. A few words trigger special behavior:

Include this word What happens
tool or disk The agent streams a tool call, shown as a card with arguments and a result.
image The reply also includes an inline image. Click it for a Quick Look-style preview.
approve The agent asks for an exec approval. Try Allow once, Always allow or Deny.

While you’re there, try:

  • the layout menu at the top of the sidebar, to switch between By server, By agent, By group and Recent;
  • typing / in the composer to see slash commands;
  • Thinking Steps in the chat’s ⋯ menu, to choose how much of the agent’s work you see;
  • Settings → Appearance, to try a different theme.

When you’re ready, connect your own gateway.
