Getting Started

# Open Chamber and start with one mind

Chamber is a desktop workspace for AI helpers called minds. This guide walks you through opening the app, signing in, choosing a mind, and finding your way around.

## Fast path

Install Chamber, open it from your computer, sign in, then create a mind or open one you already use. You can start chatting as soon as the main screen appears.

## Install Chamber

Use the installer provided for your computer. When the installer finishes, Chamber appears with your other desktop apps.

1

### Run the installer

Open the downloaded installer and follow the prompts on screen.

2

### Allow the app if asked

Your computer may ask you to confirm that you want to open Chamber. Only continue if you downloaded it from a source you trust.

3

### Keep Chamber updated

Updates may include fixes and safer behavior. Install them when Chamber offers them.

## Open the app

Open Chamber the same way you open any desktop app. If it was already running, it may return from the tray or taskbar instead of starting a new copy.

The main layout keeps mind selection, chat, and conversation history visible in one workspace.

- Use the Start menu, app launcher, dock, or desktop shortcut.
- If you closed the window, look for Chamber in the tray or taskbar.
- If the app seems stuck, close it fully and open it again.

## Sign in

Chamber needs an account so minds can use supported AI services. Follow the sign-in screen and return to Chamber when the browser or account window is finished.

- Use the account your team or personal setup expects.
- Do not share passwords, tokens, or private account details in chat.
- If sign-in fails, try again after checking your network connection.

## Create or open a mind

A mind is your AI helper. You can make a new one for a job, or open an existing one to continue where you left off.

1

### Choose a starting point

Select an existing mind, or choose the option to add a new mind.

2

### Name the mind clearly

Use a plain name such as Research Assistant, Project Planner, or Weekly Review.

3

### Start with a simple request

Try a short message first, such as asking the mind to summarize your goal or plan the next step.

## Main layout

Chamber is organized so you can choose a mind, talk with it, and review what it is doing without leaving the main screen.

- Mind area: switch between minds and manage the current mind.
- Chat area: send messages and read replies.
- History: return to earlier conversations for the selected mind.
- Panels: review tools, work logs, views, or other details when shown.

Safety note

Treat a mind like a capable assistant. Review important answers, approve only actions you understand, and avoid sharing secrets or sensitive personal information unless your organization has approved that use.
