# Quickstart

> Create your first agent and start operating in minutes.

Get your first intelligent agent up and running in 6 simple steps.

## Getting Started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your account">
    Sign up and connect your identity providers. **Google and Apple are required** — you can also add other OAuth providers for a seamless login experience across devices.

    <Tip>
      Connecting multiple OAuth providers ensures you never lose access to your account.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create your workspace">
    Your workspace is the home for your agents, knowledge, and team.

    During setup, you'll have the option to **upload documents** — PDFs, spreadsheets, text files. This is optional but highly recommended: the more knowledge you provide, the smarter your agents will be from day one.

    <AccordionGroup>
      <Accordion title="What kind of documents?" icon="file">
        Upload anything your agent might need: product catalogs, FAQs, internal processes, manuals, price lists, company policies. The system converts everything into a searchable knowledge base.
      </Accordion>

      <Accordion title="Can I skip this?" icon="forward">
        Yes! You can always add documents later. But agents perform best when they have context about your business from the start.
      </Accordion>
    </AccordionGroup>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create your team">
    Teams organize your agents by purpose. Create your first team — whether it's for **customer support**, **sales**, **operations**, or a **general assistant**.

    We'll guide you through choosing the right purpose for your team:

      <Card title="Customer Support" icon="headset">
        Answer questions, resolve issues, collect feedback
      </Card>

      <Card title="Sales & Leads" icon="chart-line">
        Qualify leads, follow up, schedule meetings
      </Card>

      <Card title="Operations" icon="gears">
        Automate reports, monitoring, recurring tasks
      </Card>

      <Card title="General Assistant" icon="robot">
        Research, write, analyze — a versatile helper
      </Card>
    </CardGroup>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Customize your agent">
    Now personalize your agent. In the first version, you'll start from a **template** that matches your team's purpose. The template gives you a solid foundation — pre-configured personality, tools, and behavior.

    You can customize:

    * **Name** and description
    * **Personality** and tone of voice
    * **Tools** the agent can use
    * **Knowledge** it has access to

    <Tip>
      Templates are the fastest way to get started. You can always customize everything later.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect a channel">
    Make your agent available where your users are. Connect one or more channels with a single click:

      <Card title="WhatsApp" icon="whatsapp" iconType="brand">
        Via Evolution API
      </Card>

      <Card title="Telegram" icon="telegram" iconType="brand">
        Bot integration
      </Card>

      <Card title="Discord" icon="discord" iconType="brand">
        Server bot
      </Card>

      <Card title="Slack" icon="slack" iconType="brand">
        Workspace app
      </Card>

      <Card title="Email" icon="envelope">
        SMTP/IMAP
      </Card>

      <Card title="Web Chat" icon="globe">
        Embed widget
      </Card>
    </CardGroup>

    Your agent maintains the same intelligence, personality, and context across every channel.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Teach your agent how to behave">
    The final step: **talk to your agent**. Through the agent's presentation screen, you can give instructions on how it should behave. The agent learns from you in real-time.

    This is where you shape:

    * **SOUL.md** — The agent's personality and core instructions
    * **agents.md** — Operational guidelines and workflows
    * **First memories** — Key facts about your business the agent should always remember

    <Tip>
      Think of this as onboarding a new team member. Tell them what you do, how you work, and what matters most. The more you share, the better they'll perform.
    </Tip>
  </Step>
</Steps>
