Keep control

Setup and ongoing care

The owner connects the agent they already use, then sets up the Mind in that chat, starting with one useful answer. A few company documents are enough for the first session; more is added after the first results are checked.

Set up your Mind

The owner chooses your Mind's address, adds the Mind to Claude or ChatGPT, and connects a private backup in their own GitHub. Everything after that happens in the owner's agent: it asks for one question the owner wants answered and a few documents, then answers from them, naming the source. Anything it wants to save waits until the owner approves it on the Mind's approval page.

Choose the first job

Pick one task the company already repeats, such as preparing a leadership brief or answering questions about a policy.

Add the few documents and areas needed for that task. The goal is one useful answer in the first session.

Review after one week

After seven days, check which answers were right, what was missed and whether anyone had too much or too little access.

Keep the useful workflow. Fix or remove the parts that did not help.

Keep it up to date

Clear new items and suggested changes each day. Once a week, review the information and scheduled work.

Every few months, test team access, backups, recovery keys and software updates.

## Set up your Mind

## Choose the first job

Pick one task the company already repeats, such as preparing a leadership brief or answering questions about a policy.

Add the few documents and areas needed for that task. The goal is one useful answer in the first session.

## Review after one week

After seven days, check which answers were right, what was missed and whether anyone had too much or too little access.

## Keep it up to date

Clear new items and suggested changes each day. Once a week, review the information and scheduled work.

Every few months, test team access, backups, recovery keys and software updates.

## Example: Start with a leadership brief

Start with a few source records and a brief you can inspect. A configured morning-brief app can propose a draft naming its source. After a week, check which briefs were right and whether anyone saw too much or too little.
