# Quickstart

> Sign in, connect a source, and create your first project

Get from zero to a working project in a few steps.

## Prerequisites

* A Google or Microsoft account for sign-in
* Access to at least one data source you want to connect

## Get started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign in">
    Go to the [Grapple dashboard](https://app.askgrapple.com) and sign in with Google or Microsoft.

    New users get a personal workspace automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect a source">
    Open **Data Library** and click **Add source**. Pick an integration and complete the setup flow (OAuth, API keys, or file upload depending on the source).

    Grapple syncs your data in the background. You'll get an email when the first sync completes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a project">
    Click **Create a project** and describe what you want to analyze — for example, *"HubSpot deals by stage this quarter"*.

    Grapple picks a base collection, sets up fields, and opens the project editor.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Explore your data">
    Wait for materialization to finish (status shows **up to date**), then use slash commands to add fields, build views, and create charts.

    Type `/` in the command bar or press **⌘K** to see available skills.
  </Step>
</Steps>
