How to get started

👤 Who it's for: People who just got an account and are about to log in for the first time
⏱️ Read time: ~4 minutes
💡 In one line: Get account → open URL → log in → start talking to it in plain English. That's it.

Step 0: Make sure you have these two things​

Before you start, confirm you have:

What you needWho gives it to you
✅ Login credentials (username + password)Your company's IT or ops team
✅ Login URL (a link)Your company's IT or ops team

💡 Don't have these yet? Ask the tech person responsible for installing YingClaw at your company: "I'd like a YingClaw account." If they haven't installed it yet, point them to Quick Start.

Step 1: Open the login page​

Paste the URL from IT into your browser (Chrome or Edge recommended), press Enter.

You'll see a login page like this:

Enter your credentials, click "Log In".

Step 2: Get to the chat interface​

After login, you'll see something that looks like a chat app:

  • Left: your past conversations (empty the first time)
  • Center: where you chat with YingClaw
  • Bottom: where you type tasks

Step 3: Give it your first task​

Type what you want it to do in plain language, then press Enter.

What does a good task look like?

✅ Clear: what to do, on what, where the result should go.

"Sort the Excel file on my desktop by client name and save the result as 'sorted.xlsx'."

❌ Bad: too vague.

"Organize my files." (Which files? How? Organized where?)

Three simple tasks you can try right now:

  1. "Tell me what files are on the desktop."
  2. "Search the weather in Shanghai today."
  3. "Translate this sentence into English: YingClaw is a great digital employee."

Step 4: Watch it work​

After you give it a task, YingClaw will:

  1. Tell you the plan ("I'll open Excel, then read the data...")
  2. Execute step by step — you see each move
  3. Summarize the result when done

If it goes off course, you can interrupt and say "do it differently."

Step 5: Teach it your preferences (optional)​

The more you use it, the more patterns it'll see. You can tell it directly:

  • "From now on, always use our company spreadsheet template — it's in the 'Templates' folder on the desktop."
  • "When replying to customer emails, always sign as 'John / Sales'."
  • "Remind me to write the weekly report every Friday at 4 PM."

It remembers. Next time, it does it without being told.

Common beginner pitfalls​

  1. Tasks too big, no breakdown

    • ❌ "Organize all our company's customer data."
    • ✅ "List the new customers added in sales in 2024."

  2. Not specifying where the result goes

    • ❌ "Make a sales report."
    • ✅ "Make a sales report, save it to the desktop as 'June-2026-Report.xlsx'."

  3. Assuming it can read your mind

    • It doesn't know which "that file from yesterday" you mean. Use the file name.
