60-Second Quick Start
Get up and running with ARMES: onboarding, personalization intake, setting up your first agent, and initiating your first conversation.
Getting Started in 60 Seconds
When you first sign up for ARMES at armes.ai/start, you are guided through a streamlined Welcome Journey designed to tailor your AI workspace to your role, work style, and communication preferences.
Follow these simple steps to launch your private intelligence workspace.
Step 1: Complete Personalization Intake
The Welcome Journey asks six high-impact questions to configure your personal context. Every question is optional and can be updated anytime in Settings → Personalization:
- Preferred Name: How your AI teammates should address you.
- Current Role & Industry: Your professional lens (e.g., Founder, Software Engineer, Attorney, Writer).
- Core Goals: What you are actively working on over the next 30–90 days.
- Communication Style: Concise and direct, highly detailed, analytical, or executive summary format.
- Key Constraints: Tools, languages, or boundaries your agents must respect.
- Hard Preferences: Specific methodologies, frameworks, or formatting rules.
Glass-Box Personalization
While our background system bot processes your answers, a brief preview deck introduces the platform. You will be shown an exact draft summary of what was understood before anything is saved to your account.
Step 2: Review Your Personal Profile
Before entering your workspace, you will see a transparent review card titled "Here is what I understood":
- Verify your preferred name and role.
- Review individual atomic facts extracted from your answers.
- Toggle off or delete any fact you do not want active in your profile.
- Click "Looks right, start chatting" to activate your workspace.
Step 3: Choose Your Plan or Start Free
ARMES offers four distinct access tiers:
Step 4: Send Your First Message
Once installed, your flagship agent—ARMES GPT—will open automatically:
- Tailored Greeting: ARMES GPT greets you with immediate awareness of your role and priorities, without sharing your answers with third-party labs.

Auto,Max,Eco& Manual): Click the Mode Selector in the top right of the chat header (in standalone Chat at/chator in the center-panel Chat Tab of Command Center at/command). Even on the Free plan, you can switch between Auto Mode (🧠) and Max Mode (🔥), or browse the multi-lab catalog to manually select or pin any model in your tier's pool. Upgrading to Eco, Pro, or Ultra unlocks Eco Mode (🌿), higher-ceilingAutoandMaxpools, and larger model catalogs for manual selection.
