# Quickstart

> Set up your first Minimal AI support agent in four steps

This guide walks you through going from a fresh account to a working AI support
agent. Everything happens in the [Minimal dashboard](https://gominimal.ai/dashboard).

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect your systems" icon="plug">
    Go to [Dashboard > Integrations](https://gominimal.ai/dashboard/integrations)
    and connect your helpdesk (for example [Gorgias](/set-up-and-integrations/integrations/gorgias)
    or [Intercom](/set-up-and-integrations/integrations/intercom)), your store
    (for example [Shopify](/set-up-and-integrations/integrations/shopify)), and
    your [website content](/set-up-and-integrations/integrations/website).

    See the [Integrations overview](/set-up-and-integrations/integrations/overview)
    for everything you can connect.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create an AI Agent" icon="robot">
    Go to [Dashboard > Agents](https://gominimal.ai/dashboard/agents) and click
    **Add agent**. Set its channels, stores, language, tone of voice, and rules.

    See [AI Agents](/set-up-and-integrations/ai-agents) for what each setting does.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Train it with protocols" icon="list-check">
    In the [Training Center](https://gominimal.ai/dashboard/training-center), write
    protocols so the agent follows your business processes — returns,
    cancellations, order status, and more.

    You can write protocols by chatting with the [AI Manager](https://gominimal.ai/dashboard/ai-manager).
    See [Protocols](/training/protocols) to get started.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test, then go live" icon="rocket">
    Test your agent in the [Playground](https://gominimal.ai/dashboard/playground):
    start a session, select your agent, and chat as if you were a customer.

    When you're happy, set the agent to **active** and configure your
    [automation settings](https://gominimal.ai/dashboard/automate) to decide when
    it replies automatically versus suggesting a reply.
  </Step>
