-# Early Access
-
-Coder Agents is available through Early Access for the community
-to evaluate while the product is under active development.
-Participation comes with important expectations and limitations described
-below.
-
-## What Early Access includes
-
-Early Access is a collaborative evaluation period between Coder and
-participating customers. It includes:
-
-- **Direct collaboration with the Coder product team** — work with Coder
-  engineers and product managers to share feedback, discuss use cases, and
-  influence product direction.
-- **Architecture and functionality documentation** — basic documentation
-  covering how Coder Agents works and how it integrates into existing
-  deployments.
-- **Feedback sessions** — periodic check-ins with the Coder team to discuss
-  real-world usage.
-- **Early exposure to new capabilities** — access to new features or
-  experimental functionality before public release.
-
-## What Early Access does not include
-
-Early Access is not a production-ready offering. It does not include:
-
-- **Formal support coverage** — no SLA-backed support.
-- **Stability guarantees** — features and behavior may change without notice.
-- **Production readiness guarantees** — functionality may not yet meet the
-  reliability or scalability expectations of a GA feature.
-- **Complete documentation or tooling** — operational guidance may be
-  incomplete and will evolve.
-- **Long-term compatibility guarantees** — APIs, configuration models, or
-  workflows may change before General Availability.
-
-## Feature scope
-
-Functionality available during Early Access may be a subset of planned
-capabilities. Some features may be incomplete, experimental, or subject to
-redesign.
-
-## Set up Coder Agents
-
-Coder Agents is available by default. No experiment flags are required.
-
-To get started:
-
-1. Navigate to the **Agents** page in the Coder dashboard.
-1. Open **Admin** settings and configure at least one LLM provider and model.
-   See [Models](./models.md) for detailed setup instructions.
-1. Grant the **Coder Agents User** role to users who need to create chats.
-   Go to **Admin** > **Users**, click the roles icon next to each user,
-   and enable **Coder Agents User**.
-1. Developers can then start a new chat from the Agents page.
-
-## Licensing and availability
-
-Features provided during Early Access may become paid licensed
-features at General Availability.
-Participants will receive reasonable advance notice before:
-
-- Coder Agents reaches General Availability
-- Early Access functionality transitions to a paid offering
-
-## Providing feedback
-
-Participants are encouraged to share workflow feedback, feature requests,
-performance observations, and operational challenges. Feedback channels are
-coordinated directly with the Coder product team.
