# Quickstart

> Sign up, chat with your first agent, connect an app, and assign your first task — in under five minutes.

This guide gets you from "I just signed up" to "I have an agent doing real work for me."

<Info>
  You'll need a [Hyper account](https://app.hyperfx.ai/signup). If you don't have one yet, sign up first — it takes about 30 seconds.
</Info>

## 1. Open a New Chat

Once you sign in, you'll land on the workspace. Click **New Chat** in the left sidebar. You're now talking to your default agent — named **Hyper**. There's no setup. Try a low-stakes opener:

```text theme={null}
Hey Hyper, what can you do?
```

Hyper will walk you through its capabilities. From here, you can:

* **Switch agents** with the agent selector at the top of the chat
* **Toggle tools** with the **+** in the message composer
* **Pick example prompts** beneath the input to see what's possible

Read more in [Agents](/agents).

## 2. Connect your first app

Most useful work involves your data. Hyper has 60+ native integrations — Gmail, Google Sheets, Slack, Apollo, Meta, Google Ads, TikTok, Instagram, you name it.

To connect one:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Apps">
    From the left sidebar, click **Apps**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick an integration">
    Browse or search. Click any app — Gmail and Google Sheets are good starter picks.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize">
    Most integrations use one-click OAuth. Some (e.g. Apollo) ask for an API key — Hyper will tell you exactly where to find it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Once connected, the agent can use it. Browse the full list in [Integrations](/integrations/overview).

## 3. Try a real task

Now ask your agent to do something concrete. Example with Gmail connected:

```text theme={null}
Search my inbox for emails from the last 7 days mentioning "investor"
or "fundraise". Summarize the top 5, link them, and tell me which need
a reply.
```

Watch the agent work in real-time. Click any tool call to see exactly what it did.

## 4. Make it recurring with a Task

If you want this to happen automatically every Monday morning, just say so:

```text theme={null}
Make this a task. Run every Monday at 8am Pacific. Send the summary to
me on Slack.
```

Your agent creates the task, sets the schedule, and confirms. Open the agent's **Resources** tab and you'll see it listed and ready to run.

Tasks support three trigger types:

* **Scheduled** — daily, weekly, custom cron
* **Webhook** — fire when a URL is hit
* **App action** — fire when something happens in a connected app (new email, new Stripe payment, etc.)

Read more in [Agents → Tasks](/agents#tasks).

## 5. Skip ahead with Discover

If you don't want to build agents from scratch, browse pre-built templates:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Discover">
    Click **Discover** in the left sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find a template">
    Browse by category — paid media, sales, ops, content, support. Each template is a fully configured agent (system prompt, model, tasks, skills, resources).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Install">
    Click **Install template**. The agent appears in your workspace, fully wired up. Customize as you like.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Read more in [Discover](/discover).

## What's next

You're up and running. Common next steps:

* **Bring Hyper into your existing AI client** — see [Hyper MCP](/mcp/overview) to connect Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible client to your Hyper workspace
* **Pull in your data** — give agents [Knowledge Bases](/data/knowledge-bases) of brand docs, [Hyper Database](/data/hyper-database) tables, or saved [Browser Contexts](/data/browser-contexts) for sites without integrations
* **Put agents in Slack** — add a [Slack channel](/agents#channels) so your team can chat with Hyper from any thread
* **Build your own skills** — see [Files & Skills](/data/files#skills) for writing custom SOPs your agents follow
