Getting started
Six concrete steps take you from a brand-new account to your first agent-completed task. You do not need a credit card to start — every workspace begins with 100 free credits.
Before you begin
You will need an email address and, ideally, one account you want your agents to work with — a Gmail or Outlook inbox, a CRM, or a Notion workspace. That is enough to see real results on day one. Everything below happens in the web app; you can add the WhatsApp and desktop channels later.
Set up in six steps
- 1Create your account
Sign up with your email or a Google/Microsoft account. Sign-in is handled by Clerk, so you get verified email, secure sessions, and optional multi-factor authentication out of the box. Verify your email when prompted.
- 2Create your workspace
A workspace is your company’s home in AgentCorp — its own agents, billing, knowledge base, and members. Give it your company name. If you were invited by a teammate, you will join their workspace instead of creating a new one. See the workspace guide for how organizations, workspaces, and seats fit together.
- 3Meet Alex
Alex is your executive assistant and the primary interface to the whole team. Open the chat and say hello. You do not pick which agent to talk to — you talk to Alex, and Alex brings in Sam (sales/CRM), Riley (finance), or Taylor (marketing) as the work requires. Try:
“Give me a two-line summary of what you can help with.” - 4Connect your first integration
Head to Integrations and connect one tool — Gmail is the most common first choice. You authorize it over OAuth, so AgentCorp never sees your password and you can revoke access at any time. Grant only the scopes you are comfortable with. The integrations guide covers each connector in detail.
- 5Run your first task
Ask Alex for something real and self-contained. Good first tasks are read-only or draft-only, so you can watch the agents work without anything leaving your account:
“Look through my inbox from the last three days, group the unread messages by topic, and tell me which three need a reply today.”Alex will plan the task, do the work (reading your inbox through the connection you just authorized), and report back. Each agent action spends roughly one credit; heavier operations like deep research cost more. You can follow along as the work happens.
- 6Approve your first outbound action
Now ask for something that leaves your account, such as
“Draft a reply to Dana and send it.”Instead of sending immediately, AgentCorp pauses and shows you an approval: the real recipient, the subject, and the full message body. Read it, edit if needed, then approve or reject. Nothing sensitive or outbound happens without this checkpoint.
Working day to day: talking to Alex, tasking specialists, and reviewing approvals.
Connect Gmail, Outlook, Notion, your CRM, Slack, WhatsApp, and Mercury.
How credits and metering work, top-ups, invoices, and what happens at zero.
Write clear instructions, use approvals well, and get reliable output.
