# Set Up Your Azotha Workspace and Direct Your First Agent

> Learn how to activate your Azotha workspace, direct your first AI agent, and preview results in under 10 minutes — no technical setup needed.

Getting from a software idea to a working preview with Azotha takes minutes, not months. There is nothing to install and no technical knowledge required — you describe what you need, your agent builds it, and you review the result at your dedicated preview URL. Follow the steps below to get started.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Contact Azotha">
    Reach out through the contact form on the Azotha website or send an email to the team describing your project and your business goals. The Azotha team reviews your needs, sets up your managed workspace, and provides you with your dedicated preview URL and workspace access credentials.

    Your workspace is fully hosted and managed by Azotha. There is nothing to download, install, or configure on your end before you begin.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Describe Your First Task">
    Once your workspace is active, open it and tell the agent what you want to build. Write your instruction in plain language, as if you were briefing a new colleague. Be specific about the outcome you want, the data involved, and any business rules that apply.

    Here is an example of a clear, effective first instruction:

    ```text theme={null}
    Build me a simple internal dashboard where my team can log daily sales
    figures by product category. It should show a running total for the
    current month alongside the same period last year, and flag any category
    that is more than 10% below target. Use our brand colours: navy (#0A1F44)
    and orange (#F5821F).
    ```

    You do not need to specify technologies, frameworks, or implementation details. The agent handles all technical decisions — your job is to describe the business outcome you are after.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the Preview">
    After the agent completes its work, the result is available at your dedicated preview URL. Open it in your browser and interact with what has been built as if it were already live software. Check that the layout matches your expectations, test the core functionality, and note anything you want changed.

    If something needs adjusting, describe the change in plain language in your next message. You do not need to file a bug report or write a technical specification — just explain what you see and what you expected instead.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Iterate and Go Live">
    Continue the conversation with your agent, refining the output based on your feedback. Each round of changes is reflected in your preview URL so you can see exactly how the software evolves. When you are satisfied with the result, let the Azotha team know — they handle deployment, hosting, and access management so your software goes live without any infrastructure work on your part.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  For your first task, choose something small and concrete — a single screen, a specific workflow, or one report. A focused first task gives you a clear result to review quickly and helps you get comfortable directing the agent before tackling more complex builds.
