# Quickstart

> Create your first agent in 5 minutes.

## Step 1. Create an account

Go to [ascn.ai](https://ascn.ai) and click **Try free**. Sign-up takes less than a minute.

## Step 2. Create your first agent

On the home page, click **+ Create new** in the top right corner.

## Step 3. Describe the task

Tell the agent in chat what it should do. The more specific — the better.

```text theme={null}
Watch deadlines in my Google Calendar. One day before a deadline
remind me about the task and ask if I need help preparing.
```

```text theme={null}
Every morning at 9:00 send me a summary of unread Gmail messages
with a short description of each.
```

<Tip>
  Start with a task you already do manually every day. That's the fastest way to feel the difference.

## Step 4. Connect the services you need

The agent will offer to connect the needed services right after your first message — just follow the prompts in chat.

If you want to connect something yourself — open **Brain**, pick **Integrations** and find the service.

## Step 5. Done

The agent is already working. Chat in ASCN or connect [Telegram](/en/channels/telegram) — and talk from wherever is convenient.
