+# Deployment of agents
+
+This folder contains scripts for quickly deploying your agent to a cloud provider (Modal) and have it executed on a cron schedule. Additionally, a local setup is also provided.
+
+## Pre-requisites
+
+We suggest using Modal (modal.com) for deploying the agents for its simplicity. We don't use Modal in production.
+
+For deploying on Modal, follow the steps below:
+- Create account (https://modal.com/)
+- Install modal, setup auth key
+- Run 
+```bash
+pip install modal
+python3 -m modal setup
+```
+
+## Run locally
+
+```shell
+modal run deployment/local_runner.py
+```
+
+## Run on the cloud
+
+- Run
+```shell
+modal deploy --name execute_agent deployment/remote_runner.py
+```
