-## Setup
+## Hosted or local?
+
+TheDesignAgent runs in two places. The same API key works in both.

+
+Use the hosted server if you only need briefs and UX reviews. Use this package when you want `Visual` reviews of pages running on your machine.
 
-Get an API key at [thedesignagent.ai/dashboard/api-keys](https://thedesignagent.ai/dashboard/api-keys). The free plan includes 100 calls a month.

-- Each plan has a monthly call limit. When you reach it, calls return a limit message; upgrade at [thedesignagent.ai](https://thedesignagent.ai) or wait for the monthly reset.
 - An authentication error means the API key is missing, wrong or revoked.
+- A rate-limit message means wait briefly and retry.
