Getting started

Set up one useful automation before expanding to more work.

  1. 1) Choose one repeatable task

    Start with a task that is valuable, easy to check, and done often enough to learn from. Write down what starts it, what it needs, and what a good result looks like. Or pick a ready-made one from the Library.

  2. 2) Give Tensor one clear task

    Say what the task should do, what it may use, and when it should stop and ask. Keep the first one narrow so the result is the same every time.

    • One starting point and one result
    • Only the information the task needs
    • A clear point where a person takes over
  3. 3) Describe it or show it once

    Describe the task in plain words, or show it once in your own browser. There is nothing to install. Show the shortest correct path, and Tensor repeats the steps you showed.

  4. 4) Set approvals and limits

    Tensor asks before it writes or sends anything. If routine steps should run without asking each time, set the limits it may work within. Every run leaves a receipt you can review.

  5. 5) Connect only what the task needs

    Your calendar and spreadsheets connect directly. Your email comes from your connected Gmail or Microsoft 365 inbox, or by forwarding from any other mail service, and replies go out from your own address once you approve them. Tensor works in the other websites you use in its own browser: you show it the steps once. Work arrives by a forwarded email, including the notification emails your website form sends, or by a request typed in the app.

  6. 6) Test, review, then go live

    Run a realistic example before using the automation for real work. Review the request, every step, each approval, the result, and the receipt. Add more only after the first one gives a repeatable result.
