Before you begin
You only need a supported browser and an email address to start. If your team plans to use connected apps such as Jira, Google, or Slack, it helps to know which account you want to authorize during onboarding.
Create your account
- Open the registration page from your invite or the public sign-up page.
- Choose the sign-up method available to you.
- Confirm your email address if the workspace requires email verification.
- Return to the sign-in screen and enter the workspace.
Sign in
Most workspaces support one or more of these sign-in options:
- email and password
- Google sign-in
- a workspace-specific sign-in flow configured by your organization
If sign-in succeeds but you cannot access the product, your workspace may still need to finish account approval or plan activation.
Complete onboarding
Onboarding usually takes only a few minutes. The exact steps vary by workspace, but the most common flow is:
- Add your basic profile information.
- Confirm or create your company/workspace details.
- Connect key apps such as Jira or documentation sources if you want richer answers from day one.
- Launch the main workspace.
You can usually skip connected apps during onboarding and return to them later from the integrations area.
Your first session checklist
Use this checklist to get immediate value from the platform:
| Task | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Confirm your profile details | Makes collaboration, exports, and notifications easier to recognize |
| Set company details | Helps VDF AI tailor context and analysis |
| Start one conversation in Chat | Gives you a baseline feel for the product |
| Connect one important app | Improves context and reduces manual copy/paste |
| Try one focused workflow | Helps you move from exploration to practical use |
A strong first prompt
For your first session, start with a goal that has a clear outcome. Good examples:
- “Summarize this document in five bullets and turn it into a checklist.”
- “Draft a user story for Google sign-in with acceptance criteria.”
- “Review this backlog and suggest the top priorities for next sprint.”
- “Find the latest related notes in our connected docs and prepare a summary.”
Where to go next
- Go to VDF AI Chat if you want to work through conversations, file uploads, or voice input.
- Go to VDF AI Agents if you want specialized assistants for focused tasks.
- Go to Connected Apps if you want better answers grounded in Jira, Google, GitHub, Slack, Zoom, or other tools.
Common sign-in and onboarding issues
I cannot sign in
- Double-check that you are using the same sign-in method you used during registration.
- If you signed up with Google, use Google sign-in again instead of creating a password-based session.
- If your organization uses a restricted workspace, ask the workspace owner to confirm access.
My verification email did not arrive
- Check spam or junk folders.
- Wait a few minutes and request a new email.
- If the workspace blocks personal email domains, use your approved work address.
I skipped an onboarding step and want to return
That is usually fine. Most onboarding settings can be revisited from profile, company settings, or integrations.
I do not know which connected app to start with
Choose the app that contains the context you need most often:
- Jira for backlog, sprint, and issue workflows
- Google or Microsoft for files and calendars
- Confluence or GitBook for documentation search
- Slack or Zoom for collaboration context
