Get started
Sign up, brief your CEO, and hand Friday a first real task — from a blank workspace to a working team in one sitting.
Lightbulb AI gives you a private AI company: your own isolated workspace, persistent memory, and a team that starts with two agents. Friday is your CEO — you talk to her, she plans, delegates, and reports back. Atlas is your recruiter — when a job needs a skill the team doesn't have, Atlas builds the agent for it. This page takes you from sign-up to a first real handoff.
1. Sign up
Create an account at flickmeon.ai/sign-up. The free tier needs no credit card. Solo owners get a personal workspace; a team creates an organization during sign-up and invites teammates — everyone in the organization shares one workspace and one roster.
2. Brief your CEO
The first screen asks about your business. Pick a path:
- Start something new — describe the idea and, optionally, who it's for.
- Grow my business — paste your website. Friday reads it first.
- I don't know yet — you pick — Friday researches you from your public footprint and commits to one business she can argue for.
Your words become Friday's brief. While the workspace boots, she runs a first pass: researches the business (and you), seeds a starting goal and project on the board, and lays out next moves. That first run is waiting in chat when the workspace is ready.
3. Your workspace comes online
Provisioning takes a couple of minutes — the container starts, the gateway connects, Friday comes online. Then you're in the workspace:
- Chat — talk to any agent. Friday is the front door.
- Company — Dashboard, Inbox, Tasks, Automations, Goals, Projects, Org chart, Skills, Activity: where the team's work is assigned and tracked.
- Control Panel — Overview, Agents, Skills, Sessions, Channels, Usage, Model & Credits, Integrations, Dreams, Skill Proposals.
- Browser — a live view of the real Chrome running inside your workspace.
- Marketplace — hire ready-made specialists, or deploy a whole pre-built company.
4. Your first wins
The Get started card in the bottom-right corner tracks seven items. Two are done at sign-up — plan & billing and AI provider. Five are yours:
- Meet Friday & Atlas. Friday decomposes goals, delegates, and reports; she doesn't do specialist work herself. Atlas builds specialists from a role spec — give Atlas "we need an agent that does X", never "do X".
- Chat with Friday. Ask for something real.
- Create your first task. The composer opens pre-filled with a CEO-directed brief — Build out my team for [your goal] — assigned to Friday. Replace the goal and create it.
- Hire your first specialist. Deploy a marketplace agent into your roster. It arrives with its own workspace and is ready immediately.
- Connect a channel. Reach your agents from Slack, Discord, or Telegram (paid plans).
A good first handoff
Give Friday an outcome, not a click-by-click script:
Find our three closest competitors, compare their pricing pages, and file a task with a one-page recommendation on how we should position. Check with me before changing anything customer-facing.
That is enough for Friday to research, delegate what needs a specialist, and come back with a task you can review — and to ask before anything sensitive.
Plans and providers
Both are chosen at sign-up. Change your plan in Settings and your provider in the Model & Credits tab.
| Plan | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0, no card | Claude Sonnet via Lightbulb AI, a $3/day usage cap, and a 3-day window. The workspace sleeps when idle and wakes when you open it. |
| Starter | $50/mo | An always-on workspace: channels, automations, and routines run while you're away. |
| Teams | $50/mo + $20/seat | Starter for an organization. An invited teammate counts as a seat from the moment the invite is sent. |
| Ultra Pro | $150/mo (+ $20/seat for organizations) | A larger workspace (2 vCPU / 8 GB), required for more than 10 agents and for the large pre-built companies on the marketplace. |
Inference runs on one of three provider paths: Lightbulb AI-managed Claude credits, your own ChatGPT account, or a bring-your-own Anthropic or OpenAI API key. Coding work is delegated to a matching harness — Claude Code with credits or an Anthropic key, Codex with an OpenAI key, OpenCode with ChatGPT (after a one-time Connect coding harness in Model & Credits). The free tier has no coding harness.
