Getting Started

Sign up, work through onboarding, and land in your workspace with a checklist of what to do first.

The video above covers the whole path in — creating an account, working through onboarding, and arriving at the checklist that sets up your workspace. This page is the written version, and each of the six checklist steps has a guide of its own.

Sign up

  1. Go to generalinput.com and click Start free trial in the top right.

  2. Sign up with email or with Google. Email sign-ups confirm a code before continuing.

Create your workspace

  1. Add a workspace icon and enter a workspace name, usually your business name.

  2. The URL slug auto-fills from the name. Edit it if you want a shorter or different one.

  3. Click Continue. The workspace is created and onboarding moves to the next step.

Work through onboarding

A progress bar across the top shows where you are. Each step is short, and everything here can be changed later in settings.

  • Plan — Free, Team, or Enterprise. Team is the one to pick if you want to properly try the platform: up to ten users and enough credits to build something real. You can start on Free and upgrade whenever.
  • Background — your website, then what your company does. Your agents use this as standing context, so it is worth a real answer rather than a placeholder. Click the microphone and say it out loud if that is faster.
  • Role — what you personally work on, which shapes what gets suggested to you.
  • Connect — authorize your first integrations. Most are one-click; the rest take an API key and come with a setup guide. Whatever you connect here is immediately available to every agent.
  • Model — which AI you prefer. There is an I don't care option at the bottom if you would rather not choose, and you can change it later.

Land on the checklist

The final onboarding step hands you the Getting started checklist. Pick whichever item you want to do first and it takes you straight to the right page, so you leave onboarding having actually built something rather than staring at an empty workspace.

The same checklist lives in the bottom-left of the sidebar from then on. It ticks each step off on its own as you do the work, so you can leave and come back to it.

The six steps

  1. Connect an integration — authorize Gmail, Slack, Notion, your CRM, or any of 500+ services so your agents can act on your behalf.

  2. Install Token Tunnel — run automations on the ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok plans you already pay for.

  3. Build a skill — teach your agents a repeatable procedure they can reuse everywhere.

  4. Chat with your systems — ask questions in plain English against every tool you have connected.

  5. Build your first workflow — describe an automation and let the author build, schedule, and run it.

  6. Build an app — turn a workflow's output into a dashboard or internal tool with its own interface.

Invite your team (optional)

  1. Open Members from the sidebar.

  2. Click Invite member. Enter their email and pick a role: Owner, Admin, or Member.
