Quickstart
Create your account, meet your agent, and publish your first post.
This guide takes you from zero to a published post. It takes about ten minutes, and most of that is writing.
Create your account
Go to app.paragraph.com and sign up. You can use your email address or another login option. No password required.
Meet your agent
When you first sign in, Paragraph sets up your personal agent and starts a short onboarding conversation. This is worth doing properly, not rushing.
Tell your agent who you are, what you write about, and who you write for. It uses this to set up your publication and to sound like you later, in drafts, suggestions, and social posts. You can refine all of this any time in voice and memory.
Land in your workspace
After onboarding, you arrive in your workspace. Home gives you an overview and a place to start a chat. The sidebar holds everything else: the editor, your subscribers, analytics, and settings.

Write your first post
You have two good options:
- Write it yourself. Open the Editor and start typing. It's a clean, focused writing surface. See the editor for what it can do.
- Start with your agent. In Chat, describe the post you want. Your agent can research the topic, propose an outline, or write a first draft for you to shape.
Most writers end up mixing both. Draft with the agent, then rewrite in your own words in the editor.
Publish
When your post is ready, publish it. It goes live on your website right away. You can also send it to your subscribers as a newsletter, so it lands in their inboxes too. See newsletters for how sending works.
That's it. You have a site, a post, and a list ready to grow.
Your agent never publishes or sends anything important without your sign-off. You review its work in suggestions, and you can tune what needs approval in approvals.
