Getting Started
Connect a couple of sources, check what Stateful learned, and prove it works.
The goal of your first session: get enough real context into Stateful that an AI can answer "what am I working on?" without you explaining anything. Fifteen minutes, three steps.
When you first sign in
Before the three steps, Stateful runs a short onboarding: the assistant asks a few questions to seed your profile — who you are, what you're working on. It's a conversation, not a form, so answer what's useful and skip the rest. You can re-run it any time from the Connections screen.
1. Connect two or three high-signal sources
Open Stateful, go to your Context page, and click Add data sources. Start where your real decisions live:
- Email (Gmail or Outlook) — the single richest source; it captures your people, commitments, and priorities.
- GitHub or GitLab — if you write code.
- Calendar — who you meet with, and when.
Authorize each one. Stateful syncs in the background; the first sync can take a few minutes. You don't have to wait around — keep going.
Don't connect everything at once. Two or three good sources beat ten noisy ones, and you'll get cleaner results to react to.
2. Open your wiki and check what it learned
Back on the Context page, your profile fills in as the sync runs — an Overview, the People you work with, your Work, Goals & projects, and more.
Read it the way a stranger would, looking for two things:
- Gaps — something important that's missing. Click into a section and type; the wiki saves as you go. Type
[[to link a person or project, or to create a new page for one. - Mistakes — anything wrong. Fix small things inline. For anything an AI got wrong about you, use step 3.
Tip: press ⌘K any time to jump straight to a person, project, or page.
3. Correct one thing, and watch it stick
The fastest way to feel how Stateful works is to correct it. Open the assistant and tell it, plainly, something it has wrong:
"That's wrong — I left Datadog. I'm at Stripe now."
A correction like this lands in your inbox (the bell icon, top right) so you can see exactly what's changing before it replaces the old fact. Approve it, and every AI you connect from here on gets the corrected version.
You're set up
That's the whole loop: connect sources, let Stateful build the picture, correct what's off. Next, point an AI at it — see Make Claude.ai answer like it knows you.
