Getting started

Go from sign-up to your first agent conversation in four steps.

Open in ChatGPTOpen in Claude

You can deploy your first agent in under five minutes. The flow is the same whether you're solo or onboarding a team.

1. Create an organization

Sign up at alumia.com/auth/register. An organization is created automatically the moment you confirm your email — there's no separate org-creation step. Invite teammates from the org Settings page.

2. Create a project

Projects are how you group agents, canvases, and sessions. Each project has its own canvas, file storage, memory, and shared context. Open the lab and choose New project.

3. Add agents

Open the project's Agents tab and click Create agent. Three things define an agent:

  • System prompt — the agent's identity and behavior.
  • Model — pick from the 37-model catalog.
  • Tools — what the agent can do (web search, browser, file ops, peer messaging, connectors, and more).

4. Use the canvas

Open the project canvas. Drag blocks anywhere, connect agents, and start a conversation. The canvas streams responses live: agents message each other, outputs render as inspectable blocks, smart alignment guides + snap-to-grid keep things tidy, and a theme-aware minimap sits in the bottom-left so you can navigate a busy project.

Outputs render through:

  • data_block — typed structured displays (tables, charts, kanbans, galleries, threads, dashboards, calendars, maps, and more)
  • MCP Apps — sandboxed connector UIs (Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Notion, Stripe, Shopify, etc.)
  • Artifacts — multi-file mini-apps with sqlite
  • 13 system primitives via show — documents, code, spreadsheets, browsers, terminals, timers, drawings, chat transcripts, and more

Single-image / video / audio outputs render edge-to-edge as full-bleed media with a lightbox + prompt overlay. Right-click any block for rename, hide title, pin focused view, export, and more.

What's next

  • Wire up connectors to give your agents access to Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Notion, and more.
  • Generate an API key to invoke agents from your own application.
  • Read about peer messaging — Alumia's flat coordination model for multi-agent systems.
