# Quickstart

> Sign up, build your first agent, and get an answer in under 10 minutes.

By the end of this guide you'll have:

* A Nora workspace
* One Flow with a simple Agent block
* Your first answer, with the trace to back it up

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign up">
    Create a free account at [platform.nora.my](https://platform.nora.my). Sign in with Google or email.

    Your first workspace is created automatically. You can rename it or add teammates later.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open a Flow">
    A **Flow** is one agent workflow on a canvas. Nora starts you with an empty Flow named `Flow 1`.

    Click into it — you'll see the canvas with a toolbar at the bottom to add blocks.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add an Agent block">
    From the bottom toolbar, add an **Agent** block. Give it a role in plain language, for example:

    > *You are a support assistant for a fintech app. Answer questions about accounts, fees, and transfers. If you're unsure, say so.*

    Pick a model in the block settings. Nora ships with strong defaults — you can change models later without rewriting the Flow.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Try it">
    Open the chat panel on the right and ask your agent a question. You'll get an answer within seconds.

    Every answer is recorded as a **Trace** — the exact inputs, tool calls, and reasoning steps. You'll use Traces later to catch and diagnose problems.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Give it feedback">
    Thumbs-up or thumbs-down any answer. Bad answers become **Signals** — Nora's queue of things worth fixing.

    That's the loop. Ship the agent, watch the Signals, fix what needs fixing.
  </Step>
</Steps>
