# Quick start

Five minutes to start using IsonAI.

## 1. Open IsonAI

Visit [isonai.net](https://isonai.net) in your browser, or download the **IsonAI** app for iPhone/iPad from the App Store. Without an account, you can try it right away as a guest with a limit of a small number of messages per day.

## 2. Create an account

Signing up unlocks the full daily quota, saves your conversation history, and enables memory and personalization.

- **Email** — sign up with an email address, then enter the verification code sent to your email.
- **Google or Apple** — one-click sign-in with "Masuk dengan Google" or "Sign in with Apple", no separate password.

Account details, forgotten passwords, and account deletion are covered in [Account & sign-in](/en/account/).

## 3. Send your first question

Write your question as it comes — formal or casual, Indonesian or English, or a mix of both. Examples:

- "Jelaskan perbedaan PT dan CV untuk usaha kecil, beserta biaya pendiriannya."
- "bantuin benerin error TypeError di kode Python ini" (paste the code)
- "Buatkan gambar poster 17 Agustus bergaya retro."
- "Berapa kurs dolar hari ini?" — IsonAI automatically [searches the web](/en/search/) and includes sources.

## 4. Get to know the interface

- **Model picker** in the top bar: leave it on **Adaptive** (the default) — IsonAI picks the right tier per question. Each tier is explained in [Models & routing](/en/models/).
- **Thinking picker** next to it: **Fast**, **Auto**, or **Deep** — how deeply IsonAI thinks before answering. See [Thinking](/en/thinking/).
- **Attachment button** to upload images and documents. See [Attachments & uploads](/en/attachments/).
- **Sidebar** holds your conversation history, [folders](/en/projects/), conversation search, and the new-conversation button.
- **Incognito icon** in the top bar starts a conversation that stays out of history and does not update memory (the conversation is still stored server-side — see [Memory](/en/memory/)).

## 5. Continue from anywhere

With an account, conversations save automatically and can be continued on another device. If you close the tab while an answer is still being written, the answer is completed and saved anyway — reopen the conversation to see the full result.

## Next steps

- [Using chat](/en/chat/) — managing conversations, share links, export.
- [Search & grounding](/en/search/) — when IsonAI searches the web and how to read sources.
- [Plans & quota](/en/plans/) — how the daily quota works.
