Set up in 90 seconds

When you first open AImetier at app.aimetier.com, a short guided setup walks you from a one-sentence description of your business to your first hired teammate and your very first conversation — in about 90 seconds.

In short

• You tell us what you do in a sentence; AImetier suggests an industry and what you need help with.
• Everything it suggests is editable — nothing is locked in.
• You pick and Hire a first teammate, then land in a live chat with them.
• A 5-step checklist keeps the rest simple: tell us about your work, pick a teammate, hire them, ask for your first piece of work, connect a tool (optional).
• No card. No connecting your email. Nothing gets sent without your OK.

This page is the in-app setup you see at /welcome. (It is not the self-host or command-line setup — that lives in the platform docs.)

Walk through the setup

Choose what you're here to do

Tap one of the three cards: Get one thing off my plate (a single helper), Build a team (a few teammates who review each other’s work), or Just exploring (a no-commitment look around).

*Pick the goal that fits — it shapes whether you hire one teammate or build a small team.*

Describe your work in a sentence

Type one or two plain sentences about your business — for example, “I do insulation and heating renovation for homes in Normandy” or “We’re a small accounting firm serving local shops and freelancers.” Then tap Looks right.

*One honest sentence is all we need — we set up the rest from it.*

After a few seconds, AImetier reads your sentence and proposes an industry and a list of things you need help with.

Review what we picked up — and tweak anything

Check the suggested industry and needs. Tap any chip to edit it, or the × to remove it. Nothing here is final — these are starting suggestions you fully control.

*Editable chips: keep what fits, change what doesn't.*

Pick your first teammate

We show a short list of teammates ranked for your work. Choose one (you can change later), then tap the Hire button.

*Each card is a teammate ready to start — pick the one that matches the job you have in mind.*

Land in your first chat

After a brief “getting ready” moment, you arrive in a live conversation with your new teammate. Say hello and ask for your first small piece of work.

*Your teammate is hired and waiting — the very first thing to do is send a message.*

You’ll know it worked when you’re in a chat and your teammate replies to your first message.

The getting-started checklist

While you set up, a small Getting started checklist tracks your progress and stays handy afterward:

1. Tell us about your work — the sentence you typed.
2. Pick a teammate — choose your first hire.
3. Hire your teammate — done the moment you land in chat.
4. Ask for your first piece of work — your “do one small thing now” win.
5. Connect a tool (optional) — link a tool later when you’re ready.

Do one small thing now. The best first move is step 4: send a real message to your lead teammate. Try something concrete like “Draft a follow-up email to a client who asked for a renovation quote — let me review it before anything goes out.”

Good to know

Everything the setup suggests — your industry, your needs, even your first teammate — is just a helpful starting point. You can edit it during setup and change all of it later. Nothing is locked in.

Came back to this screen by accident? If you’ve already set up, AImetier sends you straight to your workspace instead of starting over.

Nothing in setup sends a message, charges a card, or connects your email. Ask before sending is ON; nothing goes out without your OK. Your teammates also check each other’s work before calling it done, so quality is built in.

What if it isn’t working?

If setup stalls or behaves unexpectedly, check these first:

1. The reply is taking a while — reading your sentence takes a few seconds; give it a moment before retrying.
2. The suggested industry looks off — that’s fine, just tap the chip to fix it; setup never blocks you on it.
3. You can’t tap Hire — make sure a teammate card is selected first (it highlights when chosen).
4. You hired the wrong teammate — no problem; you can hire, pause, or change teammates anytime from your roster afterward.
5. The setup screen won’t load — refresh the page; your progress is saved, so you’ll resume where you left off.

FAQ

Do I need a credit card to set up?

No. You can complete setup and start working without a card. No card, no connecting your email, and nothing gets sent without your OK.

What if I picked the wrong goal or teammate?

Nothing is locked in. You can edit your details and add, pause, or change teammates anytime after setup — start with whatever feels closest.

Is this the same as the command-line setup I saw somewhere?

No. This is the in-app setup inside app.aimetier.com. The command-line setup is for people self-hosting AImetier and lives in the platform docs — you don’t need it.

Will my teammate send anything during setup?

No. Setting up and chatting never sends an email, message, or booking on its own. Anything outbound waits for your approval first.

I joined from an invite link — is this different?

Slightly. If you arrived via an invite link, code, or QR, see Joining with an invite — the steps are nearly the same.
