A fresh agent doesn’t wait for commands — it starts the introduction itself and draws out what it needs to do its job. Half an hour for the first task and a minute for the same task a week later isn’t an exaggeration, it’s the usual curve: the agent writes down in its files how to do it.

​
The first conversation

Type “Hi” — in the workspace chat, or in Telegram if the channel is already connected.
The agent's reply to “Hi”: a greeting, a question about how to address you, three name options, and a question about your routine
This isn’t a canned greeting. The agent’s memory has a memory/ONBOARDING.md file — a first-run script that it follows step by step and then deletes at the end: the file’s absence is the “introduction complete” marker. You can view or rewrite the script on the Personality tab.
The ONBOARDING.md document: the “Introduction” and “Briefing” steps with the questions the agent asks on first run

​
What it asks

The questions come one at a time — answer the same way, one at a time. An agent that gets everything dumped on it at once will simply lose some of it.
Tell it your time zone in the very first conversation. Without it, scheduled jobs will run at the wrong time, and “send the summary at 6:00 PM” will come as a surprise.

​
What to tell it right away

The more precisely you describe your situation, the fewer questions it will ask later.
  • What your business does and who your customers are — in one paragraph.
  • Where the materials it will work with are: drive, spreadsheets, email.
  • How you want to receive results: briefly in Telegram, as a file, as a spreadsheet.
  • What it must not do without your permission — message people, publish, spend money.
Duplicate that last point in the Rules document on the Personality tab: the agent rereads what’s written in the file in every new conversation, while what you said in the chat can be lost when the history gets compressed.

​
The first task

Start with the routine you named in the briefing. Here’s what happens next:
1

It clarifies the details

It asks about the format, the data source, and what counts as a finished result. That’s normal: the agent isn’t a genius, it’s a doer that needs boundaries.
2

It lacks access

Need a drive, email, or a spreadsheet? Ask right in the chat: “how do I connect Google Drive?”. It explains step by step what to click and installs the missing skill itself.
3

It does the work and shows the result

Check the actual result, not the report — the agent may say “done” after doing half. Learn more: Where the agent breaks.
4

It writes down how it was done

The workflow goes into its files. Next time the same task takes minutes, because it doesn’t need to figure it out again.
For the first tasks, use “show me what you’re going to do” mode — and only then let it act on its own. Permissions grow as trust grows; they aren’t granted in advance: Security and Access.

​
FAQ

That means the first-run script has already been completed and the file deleted — this happens if you chatted with the agent earlier. No big deal: just tell it about yourself in a regular message, and it will add that to its files.
Yes. Everything it wrote down is stored as text on the Personality tab: the About User document is about you, Personality is about the agent. Open it, edit, and click Save. Changes take effect in the next conversation; no restart needed.
Check whether the Memory ability is enabled under Settings → Abilities: without it, the agent doesn’t retain facts between conversations. If it’s enabled, write the recurring fact into the Long-Term Memory document yourself — that’s more reliable than waiting for the agent to save it.
Stop it and break it into parts. A sign the task is too big: the agent goes in circles clarifying details instead of showing an intermediate result. Give it a piece, accept it, give it the next one.
Open the Personality tab, find the ONBOARDING.md document in the Memory block, and paste the script back in — the agent will run it in the next conversation. You can easily write the script in your own words: it’s plain text with steps.
