+## Deploy on Render
+
+[![Deploy to Render](https://render.com/images/deploy-to-render-button.svg)](https://render.com/deploy?repo=https://github.com/CopilotKit/OpenMuse)
+
+[render.yaml](render.yaml) deploys three services: the API, the web app, and a private browser. The API answers `/` with JSON, so the UI is its own static site.
+
+### First run
+
+1. Click **Deploy to Render**. Wait until `openmuse-api`, `openmuse-web`, and `openmuse-browser` are live.
+2. On `openmuse-api`, open **Environment** and copy `OPENMUSE_ACCESS_KEY`.
+3. Open the `openmuse-web` URL and sign in with that key.
+4. Send a message.
+
+The deploy form asks for two values you provide. Render generates the other two.
+
+| Variable | Set by | If it is missing |
+|---|---|---|
+| `CPK_INTELLIGENCE_API_KEY` | You. Run `npx copilotkit@latest login`, then `npx copilotkit@latest project select`. Keep it on the server. | Chat cannot open a thread. |
+| `OPENAI_API_KEY` | You. Used by the default `openai/gpt-5`. Change `MODEL` and supply the matching provider key for Anthropic or Google. | The model call fails. |
+| `OPENMUSE_ACCESS_KEY` | Render | You cannot sign in. |
+| `TOKEN_ENCRYPTION_KEY` | Render | The API refuses to start in live mode. |
+
+Health check: `https://<openmuse-api>/api/health`.
+
+### Services
+
+| Service | Plan | What it runs |
+|---|---|---|
+| `openmuse-api` | Standard, with a 1 GB disk at `/var/data` | The Hono API and the in-process task worker. `DATA_DIR` is `/var/data/openmuse`. |
+| `openmuse-web` | Static site | The Expo web export. `EXPO_PUBLIC_API_URL` is baked in at build time. |
+| `openmuse-browser` | Private service, Standard, 1 GB disk at `/data` | Playwright and Chromium. The API calls it on the private network. |
+
+**Standard** is the smallest plan that stays up. At 512 MB the process runs out of memory before it binds a port, because PGlite loads an embedded Postgres build.
+
+**The disk** holds the database, PDFs, and the signing key. A redeploy without it wipes that data. Chat threads are stored by CopilotKit Intelligence, so a thread can still load after you sign back in even when the disk was never attached.
+
+**Live mode** is required. Render binds `0.0.0.0`, and sample mode rejects any host that is not loopback. The Blueprint sets `WORKSPACE_MODE=live`.
+
+**Browsing is included, and you can take it out.** `openmuse-browser` is a private service, so it has no public URL. The API reaches it at `http://openmuse-browser:8790` with a token Render generates. If the private hostname is not `openmuse-browser`, set `BROWSER_WORKER_URL` to `http://<that-host>:8790`. To deploy without it, delete the `openmuse-browser` service and the `BROWSER_WORKER_URL` and `WORKER_TOKEN` entries on `openmuse-api`. Chat, drafts, and tasks still run. Page reads, screenshots, and **Take control** do not.
+
+The Docker computer and Google mail or calendar need the setup in the sections below. This Blueprint does not start them.
