Quickstart

This guide gets you from zero to chatting with your own assistant in about five minutes. No credit card required.

Five minutes, end to end

Each stop maps to a step below. Steps 3-5 are optional. Pick the ones that match how you'll use the assistant.

    Calendar, Gmail, Notion, …

  1. 01

    Sign in

    Go to the homepage and click "Get started free." Sign in with Google. Onboarding asks what you're building. Your answer becomes the name of your default workspace (your company brain). We use your Google account only for authentication. Your Google data is not accessed unless you later connect Google Calendar or Gmail as tools.

  2. 02

    Land in your workspace

    After sign-in you arrive at the chat page with a fresh session against your default assistant. Type a message. That's it. The first reply usually arrives in a few seconds.

  3. 03

    Create another assistant (optional)

    Each assistant has its own memory, system prompt, and persona. Use one for internal ops, another for sales, another for a public-facing FAQ bot. Switch the left sidebar to "Assistants" mode and pick "New assistant."

  4. 04

    Connect a channel

    Easiest path: open @sidanclaw_bot on Telegram and tap the Mini App. It signs you in and binds Telegram to your account in one round-trip, no copy-pasted codes. Want your own brand? From Studio → Channels you can wire BYO bots for Telegram or Slack at the workspace level, then route each channel to one of the workspace's assistants. Each integration is bring-your-own credentials.

  5. 05

    Try a connector

    From Tools tab, connect Google Calendar (or any other connector) to give your assistant the ability to read and create events. You stay in control of which actions require your approval.
