From cold start to genuinely useful in a minute.

1. Sign in. Email magic link or Google. No password. No card.
2. Meet Presence. Your agent is called Presence by default — rename it whenever you like. It will ask what you'd like to be called.
3. Say what is on your mind. Most people start with "What can you help me with?" or "Here's what I'm working on." Both work.

That is it. You are already talking to Presence. Anything you tell it now becomes part of what it knows about you, permanently. There is no separate "setup" you have to do first.

Spend ten or fifteen minutes telling Presence about your world. Not as a form, just naturally. The kinds of things worth mentioning early:

• What you do for work, and the projects you have on right now.
• The people who come up a lot in your week — colleagues, clients, family.
• How you like to communicate. Terse? Detailed? Bullets? Prose?
• Your usual rhythms — when you plan, when you focus, when you switch off.
• Anything you wish you had an assistant for.

Presence will ask follow-up questions. It is not interrogating you — it is building a picture. Everything goes into your memory and your vault, and you can browse what it remembers any time.

Whenever you are ready, connect the services that matter. Each one expands what Presence can do — and the magic compounds quickly as you add more.

Each connection uses your own OAuth credentials. You can revoke any of them in one tap.

Theory is fine; what makes the product click is using it on something real. Try one of these on day one, when memory is still empty — you will feel the difference on day three.

Presence, your starter agent, is a generalist. The compounding magic shows up when you bring in specialists — an inbox-keeper, a researcher, a journal-keeper. Tell Presence what you want and it will craft the agent for you.

Presence will paraphrase, ask a few clarifying questions, and set the new agent up with you — named, styled, and equipped with the right skills. Read about agents to see what is possible.

1Presence is built for phones. Take 20 seconds to pin it to your home screen and it behaves like a native app — full-screen, dedicated icon, no browser chrome. It is where most of your conversations will actually happen.

And you do not have to type. Tap the mic and just talk — hands-free, in the car or on a walk. It works better on the messy, thinking-out-loud version than on a tidy prompt.
