# Quickstart


## 1. Sign up

Go to [niyra.ai/sign-up](https://niyra.ai/sign-up). You get 2,000 free credits — about $2 of usage. No card.

You'll land on the chat surface with Niyra. Say hi. Tell her your name and one thing about how you work — she'll remember.

## 2. Connect your first integration

The most useful integrations to start: **Gmail**, **Google Calendar**, **WhatsApp**.

From the dashboard, click *Integrations* → pick the service → OAuth approve. Niyra immediately knows about your inbox / calendar / messages.

Try:
- "What's on my calendar this week?"
- "Summarize my unread emails."
- "What did I last email Priya about?"

## 3. Tell Niyra what to remember

She remembers automatically, but you can be explicit:
- "Remember that I prefer afternoon meetings, not before 11."
- "My wife's name is Priya, anniversary March 14."
- "I track stocks: TSLA, GOOGL, NVDA."

Check the *Memories* panel — you should see these entries.

## 4. Set your first automation

"Every weekday at 9am, give me a brief with today's calendar and top 5 unread emails."

She'll confirm the schedule. After tomorrow at 9am, you'll get the brief.

## 5. Add a channel

If you live on WhatsApp, connect it next ([WhatsApp setup](/docs/whatsapp-setup)). Same Niyra, same memory. Send her a voice note while walking.

## 6. (Power user) Bring your own keys

If you have an Anthropic or OpenAI key, plug it in ([BYOK setup](/docs/byok-setup)). Niyra runs on your vendor budget instead of the credit pool — cheaper at scale.
