# Quickstart

> Create your dazie account, set up your companion and have your first voice journaling conversation in about five minutes.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create your account">
    Go to [app.dazie.io](https://app.dazie.io) and create an account. Sign up with your email and confirm it from the link in your inbox.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Tell dazie about yourself">
    Onboarding asks a few short questions: what you'd like to get out of journaling, what's going on in your life right now, and how you'd like to be addressed. Your answers give your companion context for the first conversation, so it doesn't start from zero.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Shape your companion">
    Describe the companion you want in a sentence, for example *"supportive, curious, helps me explore creative projects"*. You can change this at any time. See [Your companion](/guides/your-companion).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Have your first conversation">
    Allow microphone access and start talking. dazie opens with a simple question such as *"How was your day? Tell me what's been on your mind lately."* Talk for as long as you like. Five minutes is plenty for a first try.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read your entry">
    When you finish, dazie writes up the conversation as a journal entry, adds any insights it noticed, and lists follow-ups you mentioned. You'll find everything in **Your journal**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Tips for the first week

* Pick one moment of the day for journaling and keep it. Evenings work for most people.
* Don't prepare. Say whatever is on your mind first; the follow-up questions do the rest.
* Read last night's entry before today's conversation. It's a fast way to notice what changed.
