How this helps you
You do not need to know which apps to connect before you start. Describe the job and the Bot tells you what it needs.
✦ Try it
Here is the job I want help with. Tell me which tools you need access to, and walk me through connecting them one at a time.
What they did
In his most-commented video, Paul J Lipsky told a new Bot he wanted help with email. It suggested connecting Gmail and walked him through it in chat. He also changes a Bot's name and picture by asking it.
Who it's for: New users who aren't sure which apps to connect.
How to try it
- Start with the job, not the settings page: tell the Bot what you want help with.
- Approve the connection it suggests. The changelog says naming a service now shows its connect card in the first reply.
- Finish the sign-in in your browser; the Bot picks the task back up once you are connected.
- Ask the Bot to update its own name, picture or description to match the job.
What to expect
A connect card in chat for the app the job needs, then the Bot carries on with the task.
Common mistakes
- Connecting every app up front. Connect what the job needs, when it needs it.
- Pasting a password into chat. Take over the computer or use a Secure Form instead.
Related tips
- Connect your apps from chat, or through one MCP hub: Ask a Bot to connect Gmail and other accounts in chat, or use one Composio or Zapier account if you have many tools.
- Connectors before the browser: One task got about 45x cheaper by switching to a connector.
- Make your first task boring: Start with something checkable, then add one thing at a time.
