What it asks, how to answer, and why the first task takes half an hour. A fresh agent doesn't wait for commands — it starts the introduction itself and draws out what it needs to do its job. Half an hour for the first task and a minute for the same task a week later isn't an exaggeration, it's the usual curve: the agent writes down in its files how to do it. ## The first conversation Type "Hi" — in the workspace chat, or in Telegram if the channel is already connected. ![The agent's reply to “Hi”: a greeting, a question about how to address you, three name options, and a question about your routine](https://mintcdn.com/aitextura/IcbjYavKcdIF3mMS/assets/images/ru/agents/chat-onboarding.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=IcbjYavKcdIF3mMS\&q=85\&s=1f5fb2b30e2bc9a215239491bac4182a) This isn't a canned greeting. The agent's memory has a `memory/ONBOARDING.md` file — a first-run script that it follows step by step and then deletes at the end: the file's absence is the "introduction complete" marker. You can view or rewrite the script on the [Personality](https://aitextura.mintlify.site/en/agents/personality.md) tab. ![The ONBOARDING.md document: the “Introduction” and “Briefing” steps with the questions the agent asks on first run](https://mintcdn.com/aitextura/IcbjYavKcdIF3mMS/assets/images/ru/agents/onboarding.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=IcbjYavKcdIF3mMS\&q=85\&s=a3706719764d95d041d6db25b20c4bfc) ## What it asks | Step | Question | What happens to the answer | | - | - | - | | **Introduction** | How to address you: your name, and whether to be formal or casual | Saved to the **About User** document | | **Introduction** | What to call the agent — it suggests 2–3 name options | Saved to the **Personality** document | | **Briefing** | What routine eats up your time every week | Becomes the basis for the first tasks | The questions come one at a time — answer the same way, one at a time. An agent that gets everything dumped on it at once will simply lose some of it. > [!TIP] > > Tell it your time zone in the very first conversation. Without it, scheduled jobs will run at the wrong time, and "send the summary at 6:00 PM" will come as a surprise. ## What to tell it right away The more precisely you describe your situation, the fewer questions it will ask later. * What your business does and who your customers are — in one paragraph. * Where the materials it will work with are: drive, spreadsheets, email. * How you want to receive results: briefly in Telegram, as a file, as a spreadsheet. * What it must not do without your permission — message people, publish, spend money. Duplicate that last point in the **Rules** document on the [Personality](https://aitextura.mintlify.site/en/agents/personality.md) tab: the agent rereads what's written in the file in every new conversation, while what you said in the chat can be lost when the history gets compressed. ## The first task Start with the routine you named in the briefing. Here's what happens next: **1. It clarifies the details** It asks about the format, the data source, and what counts as a finished result. That's normal: the agent isn't a genius, it's a doer that needs boundaries. **2. It lacks access** Need a drive, email, or a spreadsheet? Ask right in the chat: "how do I connect Google Drive?". It explains step by step what to click and installs the missing [skill](https://aitextura.mintlify.site/en/agents/skills.md) itself. **3. It does the work and shows the result** Check the actual result, not the report — the agent may say "done" after doing half. Learn more: [Where the agent breaks](https://aitextura.mintlify.site/en/agents/limits.md). **4. It writes down how it was done** The workflow goes into its files. Next time the same task takes minutes, because it doesn't need to figure it out again. > [!WARNING] > > For the first tasks, use "show me what you're going to do" mode — and only then let it act on its own. Permissions grow as trust grows; they aren't granted in advance: [Security and Access](https://aitextura.mintlify.site/en/agents/security.md). ## FAQ > **The agent jumped straight into work and didn't say hello** > > That means the first-run script has already been completed and the file deleted — this happens if you chatted with the agent earlier. No big deal: just tell it about yourself in a regular message, and it will add that to its files. > **I gave the wrong answer — can I redo it?** > > Yes. Everything it wrote down is stored as text on the [Personality](https://aitextura.mintlify.site/en/agents/personality.md) tab: the **About User** document is about you, **Personality** is about the agent. Open it, edit, and click **Save**. Changes take effect in the next conversation; no restart needed. > **It keeps asking the same thing** > > Check whether the **Memory** ability is enabled under **Settings → Abilities**: without it, the agent doesn't retain facts between conversations. If it's enabled, write the recurring fact into the **Long-Term Memory** document yourself — that's more reliable than waiting for the agent to save it. > **The first task has been running for an hour** > > Stop it and break it into parts. A sign the task is too big: the agent goes in circles clarifying details instead of showing an intermediate result. Give it a piece, accept it, give it the next one. > **I want to redo the introduction** > > Open the **Personality** tab, find the `ONBOARDING.md` document in the **Memory** block, and paste the script back in — the agent will run it in the next conversation. You can easily write the script in your own words: it's plain text with steps. ## What's next > **[Personality and Memory](https://aitextura.mintlify.site/en/agents/personality.md)** > > The files where the agent records you and itself > **[Tasks](https://aitextura.mintlify.site/en/agents/tasks.md)** > > A board that shows what it has taken on > **[Schedule](https://aitextura.mintlify.site/en/agents/schedule.md)** > > The first scheduled job — a morning summary > **[Security and Access](https://aitextura.mintlify.site/en/agents/security.md)** > > What to allow, and what to hold back until trust is built This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
