# Quick Start Tutorial

> Get your first AI worker up and running in 10 minutes

# Quick Start Tutorial

Welcome to Spinnable! You're about **10 minutes** away from having your first AI worker up and running.

<Warning>
  **Before you begin:** Make sure you've added your **phone number** and **name** to your profile. This unlocks the full platform, including WhatsApp communication with your workers.
</Warning>

## Get Started in 6 Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Hire your first worker">
    Hit the **"Hire Worker"** button and describe who you need.

    **Think of it like this:** If you could have an intern join your business right now, what would they be doing?

    Keep it high-level:

    * "I need someone to help me organize my project management calendar"
    * "I want help preparing my podcasts"
    * "Someone to manage my email inbox"

    <Info>
      During the hiring interview, focus on **who** you're hiring, not specific tasks yet. Just give a brief description and mention any specific tools they'll need (like Google Calendar vs. Outlook, or HubSpot vs. Salesforce).
    </Info>

    Don't overthink it—you can properly onboard them after they're hired.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Say hi to your new worker">
    Once hired, send them a message and watch them come alive. This is your first real interaction.

    ✨ Your worker's **email is already working**, and they can also be reached on **WhatsApp**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect the tools they'll need">
    Head to the **Tools** section and connect any applications your worker needs access to—like Outlook, Notion, Google Calendar, or Slack.

    <Info>
      See all available tools in our [Tools & Integrations](/tools/overview) directory.
    </Info>

    <Tip>
      If your team uses Slack, this is a great time to onboard your worker there. Check out our [Slack Integration Guide](/channels/slack) for help.
    </Tip>

    Once connected, your worker is ready to actually get things done.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Give them their first task">
    Ask your worker to do something useful:

    * Create an event on your calendar
    * Draft an email
    * Create a Notion page
    * Send a WhatsApp message

    This is where the magic starts—**seeing them actually work**. 🎉
  </Step>

  <Step title="Onboard them into your business">
    Now that they've proven themselves, give them context. Share onboarding materials just like you would with another colleague:

    * **Just chat** with them about your preferences and how you like things done
    * **Upload business documents** to discuss
    * **Mention references** to relevant resources or people

    <Tip>
      **Pro-tip:** Ask your worker, *"What do you need to know to be great at your job?"*

      This helps them build their memory and work more effectively over time.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Automate something">
    Ask your worker to schedule recurring tasks or set up automations:

    * "Send me a weekly summary every Friday at 5pm"
    * "Every time someone emails me about demos, add it to my calendar"

    Your worker can handle both one-time and recurring tasks automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## You're All Set! 🎉

Your worker is now part of your team. They'll **learn and adapt** as you work together.
