This guide takes you from a new Adam account to a reviewed result. You can start without connecting CAD and add integrations later.

Before you begin

You need an Adam account and a concrete outcome you want from the task. If the work involves CAD or PLM, make sure you can sign in to the relevant service or access the computer where the desktop application runs.
1

Finish account setup

Complete onboarding and choose whether you are working on your own or with a team. You can remain on Free or select an available paid plan. Plan availability and prices are shown in Adam.
2

Connect the system you need

Open Integrations in the sidebar. Connect Onshape through OAuth, install the Fusion add-in, pair the desktop connector for a local application, or connect another service from the catalog.You can select Skip for now during onboarding and connect a tool later.
3

Start a task

Select New Task. Describe the outcome, the object or file involved, and any constraint Adam must preserve.
4

Attach context

Use the attachment button or drag files onto the composer. Include source files, screenshots, specifications, or reference documents that are necessary to make the request unambiguous.
5

Review the work

Follow tool activity in the conversation. Answer questions and approve requested actions when prompted. Preview generated files or CAD outputs in the task’s file panel before accepting the result.
6

Continue, share, or schedule

Reply in the same task to refine the result. You can share the task with a collaborator, publish a read-only link, or create a scheduled run when the work should repeat.

Write a useful first request

Include the target, the requested change, constraints, and how you will judge success.

Example Onshape request

Example Fusion request

Example file-based request

Keep related work in the same task when the previous conversation or files matter. Start a new task when you want a clean context or a separate share boundary.
