# Quickstart

> Go from sign-up to a live support agent on your website in a few minutes.

This guide takes you from a new account to a working chat widget answering from your content.

## Prerequisites

* An email address to sign in with (or a Google / GitHub account)
* Your website URL, so EmaDesk can extract details automatically
* A document, FAQ, or help page the agent can learn from

## Get started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your account">
    Sign in with email, Google, or GitHub, then complete your profile and create your organization. The agent is created automatically.

  <Step title="Add knowledge">
    Open **Knowledge** under Knowledge Sources and add a document, paste text, or crawl a web page. EmaDesk indexes it so the agent can answer from it.

    <!-- EmaDesk Chat Widget -->
    <script src="https://cdn.emadesk.com/emadesk-widget.js?orgId=YOUR_ORG_ID" async></script>
