# 5-Min Quick Start

> Get started with Annie in four simple steps.

## Get Annie Running in 5 Minutes

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create Your Account">
    Sign up and create your Annie workspace.

    <Card title="Create Account" icon="user-plus" href="https://app.anyshift.io/">

    </Card>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect One Integration">
    Add at least one integration to build your knowledge graph. Start with what's easiest:

    <CardGroup cols={3}>
      <Card title="GitHub" icon="github" href="/pages/integration/github">
        Connect a repository
      </Card>

      <Card title="AWS" icon="aws" href="/pages/integration/aws">
        Connect an account
      </Card>

      <Card title="Datadog" icon="dog" href="/pages/integration/datadog">
        Connect monitoring
      </Card>
    </CardGroup>

    <Tip>
      For a quick test, connect a **dev account** first. You can add production later.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Talk to Annie">
    Ask Annie a question about your infrastructure:

    <CardGroup cols={2}>
      <Card title="Web Chat" icon="browser" href="https://app.anyshift.io/">
        Chat directly in the dashboard
      </Card>

      <Card title="Terminal (CLI)" icon="terminal" href="/pages/product/integration/cli">
        Ask from your terminal
      </Card>

      <Card title="Slack" icon="slack" href="/pages/product/integration/slack">
        Mention @Annie in Slack
      </Card>

      <Card title="IDE (MCP)" icon="robot" href="/pages/product/integration/remote_mcp">
        Use in your AI coding assistant
      </Card>
    </CardGroup>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set Up Incident Monitoring (Optional)">
    Connect an alerting tool so Annie automatically investigates incidents as they happen. When an alert fires, Annie cross-references recent infrastructure changes and posts a root cause analysis directly in your Slack channel — no manual trigger needed.

    <CardGroup cols={2}>
      <Card title="PagerDuty" icon="bell" href="/pages/integration/pagerduty">
        Auto-RCA on incident.triggered events
      </Card>

      <Card title="Datadog" icon="dog" href="/pages/integration/datadog">
        Auto-RCA on monitor alerts
      </Card>

      <Card title="Slack on-call" icon="slack" href="/pages/product/integration/slack">
        Register alert bots for on-call monitoring
      </Card>

      <Card title="Incident.io" icon="triangle-exclamation" href="/pages/integration/incident-io">
        Connect incident management
      </Card>
    </CardGroup>

    <Tip>
      To enable automatic RCA in Slack, invite **@Annie** to your alert channel and use `/register_annie_on_call <bot_slack_id>` to register your monitoring bot. See [Slack Integration](/pages/product/integration/slack) for full setup details.
    </Tip>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Example First Questions

Once connected, try asking Annie:

* *"What resources do I have?"*
* *"Show me the dependencies for \[service-name]"*
* *"What changed in the last 24 hours?"*
* *"Why did this alert fire?"*
