# Quickstart

> Connect Adam to your engineering context and complete your first useful task.

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.

<Steps>
  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start a task">
    Select **New Task**. Describe the outcome, the object or file involved, and any constraint Adam must preserve.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Write a useful first request

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

<Prompt description="Example Onshape request" actions={["copy"]}>
  Open the gearbox project in my connected Onshape account. Inspect the mounting bracket Part Studio, increase the two outer mounting holes to 6.5 mm, preserve the hole spacing, and report the features you changed before making any other edits.
</Prompt>

<Prompt description="Example Fusion request" actions={["copy"]}>
  Using the design currently open in Fusion, inspect the selected enclosure body. Identify the thinnest wall, compare it with a 2 mm minimum, and propose the smallest editable change. Do not apply the change until I approve it.
</Prompt>

<Prompt description="Example file-based request" actions={["copy"]}>
  Review the attached drawing and supplier specification. Produce a concise discrepancy table with drawing callout, supplier limit, risk, and recommended follow-up. Cite the page or drawing region for every finding.
</Prompt>

<Tip>
  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.
