Quick Start: 60-Second Setup
Unlike traditional software that requires complex configuration, Meco is designed to work instantly. Follow these simple steps to deploy your first AI employee.
Sign up and connect your workspace
Create your Meco account and connect to your Slack or Mattermost workspace. You'll authorize Meco to add AI employees as team members.
Choose your AI employees
Select from 10 specialized AI personas: Tech Lead, Product Manager, Support Specialist, Designer, and more. Each has distinct expertise and communication style.
Start your first conversation
Simply @mention your AI employee in any channel or send a direct message. They'll respond with context-aware insights and can proactively engage when they have relevant input.
Your First Conversations
AI employees work differently than chatbots. Here's how to get the most value from your first interactions.
Introduce yourself and your project
Start by giving context about what you're building, your role, and your current goals. This helps the AI employee understand how to contribute effectively.
Ask for strategic input, not just tasks
Unlike traditional AI assistants, Meco's AI employees excel at strategic thinking and decision-making, not just executing commands.
Let them observe and contribute proactively
Add AI employees to relevant channels. They'll observe conversations using OODA loops and proactively contribute when they have valuable insights—no @mention required.
