# Quickstart

> Go from sign-up to a useful Engram loop: brand, connectors, and a first Aria answer.

This path gets you from zero to a useful result in one sitting.

## Prerequisites

* A modern browser
* Your company website URL
* Optional: Slack, Notion, or Fathom access if you want connectors on day one

## Path

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Engram">
    Go to [app.engramhq.com](https://app.engramhq.com) and sign up or sign in.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Scan your brand">
    Enter your website when prompted. Engram builds Brand Brain from your site and public footprint.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect tools you already use">
    Open **Connectors** and connect Slack, Notion, or meeting tools you rely on. Skip anything you do not need yet.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ask Aria one concrete question">
    Open **Chat** and ask something specific, for example:

    > Audit our positioning against the three closest competitors and list the gap we should own this week.

    <Frame caption="Use Ask Aria… at the bottom of Chat.">

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Activate one skill">
    Open **Skills**, turn on a Live skill, then choose **Launch in chat**. Prefer a short Marketing skill for your first run.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Success looks like

* Brand Brain shows your name, site, and identity tiles
* At least one connector shows **Connected** (optional on day one)
* Aria returns an answer grounded in your brand
* A skill run appears in chat history
