# Quickstart

> Go from signing in to creating your first record and chatting with the AI assistant in about ten minutes.

This guide walks you through your first productive session in Fail Fast. By the end, you will have opened a Program, explored a table, created a record, and asked the AI assistant your first question.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign in">
    Sign in with your email and password, or use your Google or Microsoft account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick your company">
    On the company chooser — the screen that asks **Where do you want to work today?** — select the company you want to work in.

    If someone invited you to a company, the **Pending Invitations** dialog shows the invitation with **Accept** and **Decline** options. Accept it to join that workspace.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Land on Home">
    After choosing a company you land on **Home**, the AI assistant. This is your starting point every time you open Fail Fast.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open a page from Programs">
    In the sidebar, expand the **Programs** section and open a page. Programs is the tree of pages configured for your workspace — pages contain the tables and forms your team works with. What you see here depends on your role and the modules enabled for your workspace.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Explore a table">
    Open a table on the page and get a feel for the data. You can search for records, filter by field values, and sort columns to organize what you see. Learn more in [Tables](/docs/data/tables).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a record">
    Select **New** to open the table's form and create a record. If the table has several form templates, pick the one you need from the dropdown next to **New**. Fill in the form and save.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ask the AI assistant">
    Go back to **Home** and ask a question. The suggestion chips are a good starting point — try **What can I do in Fail Fast?** to see what the assistant can help you with. Learn more in [AI assistant](/docs/ai/ai-assistant).
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  **Search** in the sidebar opens a command palette from anywhere in the app. Use it to jump straight to pages and records without navigating the tree.
