# Meet your AI Admin

> Connect Slack, name it, install it. It messages you and sets up your company and your first worker from there.

Your **AI Admin** is a worker that only works inside your company. It never joins a client's channel. Its job is to set things up: workers, channels, clients, and the tools they use.

## Setup, in control

Setup has four steps.

1. **Connect Slack.** Ergoly needs permission to create Slack apps in your workspace. On api.slack.com/apps, open **App Configuration Tokens**, press **Generate Token**, and paste the token that starts with `xoxe-` into the **Refresh token** field.
2. **Name your AI Admin.** Type a name (the example is Ada). Leave **Full Slack permissions** on unless you have a reason not to; it lets the AI Admin invite workers to channels and create channels for you.
3. **Install it.** Press **Add <name> to Slack** and click **Allow** in the Slack window that opens. Control shows *Starting <name> up…* while the worker is built.
4. **Done.** Control shows *<name> is looking around your workspace*, then *<name> has messaged you in Slack*.

## Then, in Slack

Open the direct message from your AI Admin. It introduces itself and asks what the first worker should do. Answer in plain words. It proposes a name, a job, and the channels, and asks for your yes before creating anything.

```slack
Direct message with Ada

Ada (worker): Hi Sam, I'm Ada, your AI Admin. I set up workers, channels, clients and tools, and I ask before I change anything. What should your first worker do?
Sam: Account management for our retainer clients. Status notes, meeting prep, follow-ups.
Ada (worker): Got it. I'll create a worker called Nora, job title Account Manager, reporting to you. To start it needs a Slack install, which opens a window for you to click Allow. Shall I go ahead?
Sam: Yes.
```

*The AI Admin proposes, you approve. The install link needs a workspace admin.*

> **Worth knowing.** Only an admin can create the AI Admin, because it holds a key to your whole company. A member who opens setup sees *An admin sets up your AI Admin*. If your company already has workers, the link to add one is above the Company page's List tab.
