# Quickstart

> Create your site, add content, install the chat widget, and ask your first question in about five minutes.

Source: https://agentmysite.com/docs/get-started/quickstart/

In this tutorial you set up AgentMySite on your website and ask the assistant your first question. It takes about five minutes.

## Before you begin

You need:

- An email address you can receive mail at. AgentMySite has no passwords; it emails you a one-time code.
- A document that answers common questions about your business, such as an FAQ or returns policy, in PDF, DOCX, Markdown or plain text.
- Access to edit the HTML of your website, or a test page you can open in a browser.

## 1. Create your account

<Steps>

1. Go to [app.agentmysite.com/signup](https://app.agentmysite.com/signup).

2. Enter your email address and select **Send code →**.

3. Check your email for a 6-digit code, enter it, and select **Verify & create account**.

</Steps>

## 2. Create your site

After you sign in for the first time, you see **Create your site**.

<Steps>

1. In **Site name**, enter a name, for example `Acme Help Center`.

2. Under **Allowed domains**, enter the domain your website runs on, for example `www.acme.com`, and add it. The widget only starts on domains in this list.

3. Add `localhost` too if you want to test on your own computer first.

4. Select **Create site**.

</Steps>

<Aside type="caution">
Enter hostnames only, like `www.acme.com`. Don't include `https://`, a path or a port. `www.acme.com` and `acme.com` are different domains; add both if your site uses both.
</Aside>

## 3. Add your content

<Steps>

1. In the sidebar, select **Documents**.

2. Drag your file onto **Drag & drop documents here**, or click the area to choose a file.

3. Wait until the status changes from **Queued** and **Processing** to **Ready**. This usually takes under a minute for a small document.

</Steps>

## 4. Install the widget

<Steps>

1. In the sidebar, select **Dashboard**.

2. In **Install AgentMySite on your site**, select **Copy** to copy your embed snippet. It looks like this, with your own site key:

   ```html
   <script async src="https://widget.agentmysite.com/loader/widget.js" data-site-key="YOUR_SITE_KEY" data-api-base="https://api.agentmysite.com" data-iframe-origin="https://widget.agentmysite.com"></script>
   ```

3. Paste the snippet just before the closing `</body>` tag of your page, then publish or save the page.

</Steps>

## 5. Ask your first question

<Steps>

1. Open your page in a browser. A chat button appears in the bottom-right corner.

2. Select the button and ask a question that your document answers.

3. Back in the admin panel, the dashboard badge changes from **Waiting for first widget boot** to **Widget installed**.

</Steps>

The assistant answers from your document. To see the conversation, select **Conversations** in the sidebar.

If the chat button doesn't appear, see [Troubleshooting](/docs/guides/troubleshooting/).
