# Quickstart: Connect Your Tools and Ask Knoq Anything

> Sign up for free, connect Slack, Notion, GitHub, or any other integration, and ask Knoq your first question — all in under five minutes.

This guide walks you through everything you need to go from a blank slate to your first AI-synthesized answer. By the end you'll have an account, at least one integration connected, and a feel for how Knoq searches across your tools and synthesizes results in practice. The whole process takes under five minutes.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your account">
    Go to [knoq.one](https://knoq.one) and sign up using your work email address or via OAuth. Knoq supports sign-in through email magic link and OAuth providers — choose whichever fits your workflow.

    Once you've authenticated, Knoq creates a personal organization for you automatically and places you on the **Free tier** — no credit card required. You can upgrade at any time from **Settings → Billing**.

    <Tip>
      If a teammate has already set up a Knoq organization and sent you an invite link, follow that link instead of signing up fresh. Accepting the invite places you directly inside the shared organization so you can query the same integrations your team has connected.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your first integration">
    Navigate to **Settings → Integrations**. You'll see the full catalog of available connectors — Slack, Notion, GitHub, Linear, Confluence, Google Drive, and more.

    Click the integration you want to connect and follow the OAuth authorization flow. Knoq requests only the read (and, where write-back is enabled, write) permissions it needs — you can review them on the authorization screen before approving.

    Once authorized, the connector appears as **Active** in your integrations list and is immediately available for queries.

    <Info>
      Your Free plan supports up to **2 connectors**. Solo plans support 5, Team plans support 15, and Business plans support unlimited connectors. If you need more, you can upgrade from Settings → Billing.
    </Info>

    **Good first integrations to try:**

    * **Slack** — surfaces answers from channel history, threads, and pinned messages
    * **Notion** — queries your workspace pages, databases, and team wikis
    * **GitHub** — searches issues, pull requests, READMEs, and code discussions
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ask your first question">
    Head to the chat interface at [knoq.one/home](https://knoq.one/home). You'll see a message input at the bottom of the screen — this is where all your queries start.

    Type a question that naturally spans the tools you've connected. Some examples to get you going:

    ```text theme={null}
    What's the current status of the user onboarding project?
    ```

    ```text theme={null}
    Where is our API rate-limiting policy documented?
    ```

    ```text theme={null}
    What did the team decide about the Q3 infrastructure migration?
    ```

    Hit **Enter** and watch Knoq work. Your question goes out to every relevant integration simultaneously. As results come in, you'll see collapsible **steps** appear beneath the answer — each one shows a search or fetch Knoq performed against one of your integrations. Once all integrations have responded, Knoq synthesizes a single answer with citations back to the original sources.

    Click any citation to jump straight to the source document, Slack thread, or GitHub issue.

    <Tip>
      You don't need to specify which tools to search — Knoq figures that out automatically. But you can narrow the scope by mentioning a tool explicitly: *"In Notion, what does our runbook say about database backups?"*
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Invite your team (Team plan and above)">
    Knoq is most powerful when your whole team is querying the same connected integrations. On **Team and Business plans**, navigate to **Settings → Members** and enter your teammates' email addresses.

    Each invitee receives an email with a join link. When they accept, they're added to your organization and can immediately query every integration you've connected. Admins can manage roles and remove members from the same Settings → Members page.

    <Info>
      The Team plan supports up to **10 members** and the Business plan supports **unlimited members**. Free and Solo plans are single-user only.
