Quickstart
Pick your first step — app, agents, or code — once you have a pod
Quickstart
Goal: from “I have (or will have) a pod” → one clear next action.
If you do not have a pod yet, start with Installation — there you choose hosted (Synap Cloud), Docker, CLI, or from source.
1. Use Synap in the app (most people)
synap.live — create an account, open your workspace, and use the browser or desktop experience. Download and updates are offered from the same landing flow when you sign up.
No API keys required to explore the product surface (entities, views, channels).
2. Connect AI agents & automations
AI agents & external tools — OpenClaw, npx @synap/cli init, Hub Protocol (/api/hub/*), and skills.
Use this path when you want any AI agent or script to read/write your workspace through governed APIs, not through the UI only.
3. Build or integrate (SDK / API)
- First queries with the SDK — React, TypeScript, or cURL against
/trpc - Integrations overview — webhooks, chat streams, API keys
- Use case guides — e.g. Second brain, Team collaboration
4. Go deeper on the system
- What is Synap? — product framing
- System concepts — architecture, events, graph
- Next steps — structured checklist after install
Not sure? Use synap.live first, then come back to AI agents & external tools when you want automation.
