Create your first agent

This article walks through the first Aubrey setup.

​

Before you start

You need an Aubrey account. New accounts require an invitation code. If Aubrey asks you to confirm your email, check your inbox and return to Aubrey after confirmation.

​

Step 1: Tell Aubrey about you

In About You, enter your name and location. Aubrey uses your location for local details such as timezone.

​

Step 2: Choose email and calendar

In Email & Calendar, choose one of these options:

• 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 create your first agent.

​

Step 3: Pick a 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 also include school emails, weekly planning, shared errands, appointments, caregiver coordination, and meals or travel. Optional chips help Aubrey understand what is on your plate. If the selected chips give enough context, Build preview can become available before you write a longer note.

​

Step 4: Review and create

Choose Build preview. 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.

After creation, Aubrey opens the agent workspace.
