Tesseract Docs

Get the local setup ready for creative work.

Tesseract needs a supported Mac, Windows, or Linux PC, a local agent environment, and access to the project’s media. Use the installed skills’ instructions for the required runtime version.

Check the computer and agent environment.

Use an Apple Silicon or Intel Mac, or a 64-bit Windows 10 or later PC. Your agent must be able to access local files and execute tools. For Linux, check the requirements in the official runtime release. For a supported hosted agent, follow its hosted setup guide.

Use the official plugin or runtime release.

Install the official ChatGPT plugin, or use the skills command on the setup page and select both Tesseract skills for your agent. You only need one of these options. Let the agent install the runtime version required by the skills, verify its checksum, and confirm it runs.

Start a fresh session after installation.

Your current conversation may already have loaded its skill and plugin instructions. A new local session gives the agent a clean opportunity to discover the installed Tesseract guidance.

Check access to the project media.

Confirm that the agent can read the folder and that each referenced asset still exists. Missing or moved media can prevent a preview or export from rendering correctly.

Verify a short preview first.

Ask the agent to inspect the installed runtime and follow its bundled example. Preview a simple project before starting a long render. If it fails, capture the exact error and runtime version instead of guessing a fix.

A prompt to start from

Check my local Tesseract setup using the official instructions at https://mirage.app/tesseract/install. Verify the supported computer and agent environment, runtime availability, and access to this media folder. Report any missing requirement before trying to render.

Keep going.

Your first project

Bring footage and a brief, make a short first edit, inspect it, and refine the same Tesseract project before rendering your final video.

Preview and refine

Review a Tesseract render, inspect the frames around a cut, listen to the mix, and give your agent precise feedback without rebuilding the whole project.

Read the prompt

Set up Tesseract by Mirage so you can create editable designs, edit videos, and make motion graphics in this agent’s environment. Read https://github.com/mirage-hq/Tesseract and check the requirements for this local or hosted environment. If it is supported, follow the official plugin or skills installation guide, use its required runtime version, verify the download checksum, and confirm a short preview renders correctly. Then ask what I want to make and which brand references or source assets I have. Keep the editable project and source assets with the finished render.
