Quickstart

Sign in, describe your first goal, set it up with its agent and launch the first week.

This page takes you from signing in to a goal that is running on its own. Setup takes about two minutes of conversation, plus the time it takes to connect the tools the goal needs.

Sign in

Open app.auto-lab.ai and enter your work email. Auto Lab emails you a code; type it in to sign in. If you prefer a password, choose Use a password instead.

If you were invited, use Accept invitation in the email instead. It signs you in to the right organization. If sign-up is closed, Auto Lab shows a short form to request access.

Describe the goal

Choose New goal. Auto Lab asks: What should Auto Lab work toward?

Write the outcome in a sentence or two. Name a number and a period when you have one, because the agent tracks progress against it. For example:

  • "Qualify 20 inbound leads a week from our website form and hand the good ones to sales."
  • "Send me a brief on our competitors every Monday: launches, pricing changes and hiring."

Attach a doc or spec if you already have one. Auto Lab suggests a name for the goal; select Rename to change it. Then select Start.

If Auto Lab has already created a first goal for you, it opens straight into setup. Type your goal as the first message there.

Set up together

The goal's agent reads what you wrote and asks only what is missing. As you answer, the Goal brief on the right fills in:

  • Works with: the apps and data the goal uses. Select Connect on a card to sign in to that app now, or skip it and connect later.
  • Reaches you: where the agent sends updates and questions, such as Slack or Here in Auto Lab.
  • On its own: how much it may do without asking. The brief suggests Acts within your rules; choose Asks before acting if you want to approve every action at first.
  • Rules: anything it must never do, one rule per line.

You can edit any field on the brief directly instead of answering in the conversation. To bring teammates into the goal, add them under Settings › Access after launch; see Roles and access.

Launch the first week

Select Draft my first week. The agent turns the conversation into a plan: tasks owned by the agent or by you, the times it checks in, and what it tracks.

Ask for changes in the conversation until the plan looks right, then select Launch. Auto Lab approves the plan, schedules the check-ins and opens the goal's Overview. The agent starts on the first task.

After launch

  • Overview shows progress, the week's work and a Needs you list. Check it once a day, or let the channel you picked bring items to you.
  • Chat is the goal's one running conversation. Ask questions, change direction or hand it a new task.
  • Brain › Learning shows what the goal has learned. You can undo anything it applied on its own.

You can edit the goal or re-plan it from the Overview at any time. To hold scheduled work, see Pause a goal.
