Get up and running with Duvo in minutes. This page walks you through creating and running your first agent.

<Note>
  **First time signing in?** New admins go through a short onboarding sequence first: a **Welcome screen** introducing Duvo, then **Connections setup** to connect the tools your agents will use (Google Workspace, Slack, and others). Complete both to reach your workspace. You can add more connections later at any time.
</Note>

## Create and run your first agent

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your first Agent" icon="plus">
    Log in to your Duvo workspace and click **Create Agent** in the left sidebar. Then choose how to build:

    * **Use a Template** — start from a pre-built agent for common tasks
    * **Start from Scratch** — build a custom agent with the Agent Builder
  </Step>

  <Step title="Describe what you want" icon="message-square">
    If starting from scratch, describe the task in plain English. For example:

    > "Every Monday morning, check my Gmail inbox for expense reports, extract the amounts, and add them to my Google Sheet."

    The Agent Builder refines this into a working agent.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up your Connections" icon="plug">
    Give your agent access to the systems it will work with:

    1. Go to **Resources → Connections** in the left sidebar
    2. Click the connection you need (Gmail, Google Sheets, and so on)
    3. Follow the prompts to authorize access
    4. Return to your agent and select the Connections you set up
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test your Agent" icon="flask-conical">
    Before scheduling or relying on your agent, open it and click **Run** to start a test run. Watch the session log to see your agent working, review the results, and refine if needed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Schedule or run on demand" icon="calendar-clock">
    Once you're happy with how it works, **run it manually** whenever you need the task done, or **schedule it** for automatic runs (daily, weekly, and so on).
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Be specific about the trigger and the steps when you describe your agent. Clear instructions up front mean fewer refinements later.
