# Getting Started with Aubrey

Use this guide to go from invitation to your first Aubrey agent.

## Jump to

* [Create your account](#create-your-account)
* [Set up your first agent](#set-up-your-first-agent)
* [Choose email and calendar access](#choose-email-and-calendar-access)
* [Give Aubrey a first task](#give-aubrey-a-first-task)
* [Review and create the agent](#review-and-create-the-agent)
* [What to do next](#what-to-do-next)

## Create your account

1. Open Aubrey and choose to create an account.
2. Enter your email address and password.
3. Enter your invitation code when asked.
4. Confirm your email if Aubrey asks you to check your inbox.
5. Sign in again after confirmation.

If your account requires an email verification step, Aubrey will send you to the email verification screen before you continue.

## Set up your first agent

After sign-in, Aubrey starts a guided setup. The setup has four parts:

* About You
* Email & Calendar
* First Task
* Review

In About You, Aubrey asks for your name and where you are based. Aubrey uses your location for local details such as timezone.

## Choose email and calendar access

In Email & Calendar, choose how Aubrey should start:

* Built-in Aubrey tools: included on every plan. Aubrey creates an agent email address, hosted inbox, chat, and built-in planning tools.
* Google Workspace: available on paid plans. You can connect Gmail and Calendar after upgrading.

You do not need Google Workspace to start using Aubrey.

## Give Aubrey a first task

In First Task, choose a starting point and describe one real thing you want Aubrey to help with.

Common starting points include:

* Personal productivity
* Email follow-up
* Project momentum
* Research and writing

Family setups may include school emails, weekly planning, shared errands, appointments, caregiver coordination, and meals or travel.

After choosing a path, add any helpful details and select optional chips if they match what you want. The chips help Aubrey understand what is on your plate, such as meetings, deadlines, errands, or focus blocks.

Choose **Build preview** when it is available. If the selected chips already give Aubrey enough context, you can build the preview before writing a longer note.

## Review and create the agent

When the preview is ready, Aubrey shows the proposed agent name, description, instructions, and starter prompts.

From the review step, you can:

* Choose **Create my agent** to finish setup.
* Choose **Change first task** to adjust the first task.
* Choose **Start fresh setup** to begin again.
* Use **Back to options** while choosing a first task.

After you create the agent, Aubrey opens its workspace.

## What to do next

Once the workspace opens, try one of the starter prompts or type a message in the chat box.

Useful next steps:

* Open **Agent instructions** to review the agent's instructions.
* Open **Recipes** if Aubrey suggests a workflow you want to turn on.
* Open **Email** to copy the agent email address.
* Open **Calendar** to copy your Aubrey calendar feed.
* Open **Share** if you want to invite another person.
* Open **Tools** if you want to connect Google Workspace or manage connected accounts.
* Open **Help** from the agent switcher when you need Documentation, Help Center, Discord, or Support.
