Getting a workspace running takes about two minutes, most of which is waiting.
There is nothing to install and no terminal involved.

## Get one running

1. Sign in at [gbrain.io](https://gbrain.io) with Google, or ask us for a link.
2. Create a workspace and pick a plan.
3. Wait for it to show as **Running**. The first one takes a few minutes,
   because we are building you a real machine, not a row in a table.

## Have the first conversation

Open **Chats** and ask it something. It will not know much yet, which is the
point of the next step.

A good first move is to tell it who you are and what you are working on. That
lands in its memory and shapes how it reads everything you give it afterward.

## Give it something to read

A workspace is only as useful as what it has seen. Three ways to feed it, roughly
in order of how much they pay off:

**Paste things into chat.** The fastest start. Drop in a document, a thread, a
set of notes, and say what it is. It reads and files it.

**Connect an account.** Google, GitHub or Telegram. Then it can pull from the
source instead of waiting for you to paste.
See [connect your accounts](/docs/tools/accounts).

**Let it work on a schedule.** Once material is flowing in, scheduled jobs read
and organize it overnight. See [skills](/docs/skills).

## Check what it learned

Open **Memory**. Everything it has filed is there, as folders and notes you can
read.

If something looks wrong, say so in chat. Correcting it in conversation is the
intended way to fix its memory, and the fix survives the conversation.

[Memory](/docs/workspace/memory) explains how the tree is organized and what a
note carries.

## Bring in your team

Invite people from your organization's settings. They get an emailed invitation
and sign in with Google or a link, with no password to create.

Everyone in the organization shares the workspace: same threads, same memory, and
each question attributed to whoever asked it.

## If it stops responding

Check **Settings** for its status. A workspace that has been idle can take a
moment to come back. If it stays stuck, reply to any email from us and we will
look.
