Getting started with Navi

Sign up, connect your accounts, and send your first message. No configuration files, no prompts to memorize, no code. Just chat.

Step 1 — Sign up

Go to naviwork.ai and click Sign in with Google. That's it — no password, no credit card. New accounts get welcome credits so you can try Navi immediately.

Once signed in, you'll land in a new chat. This is where you and Navi will work together. You can always start a fresh chat from the left sidebar, and Navi keeps the history of every conversation you've had.

Step 2 — Connect your tools

Navi is only as useful as the tools it can reach. Google Calendar is the usual first connection — it covers scheduling, meeting prep, and daily briefings.

Open the Tools panel (it's labeled in the chat interface), find Google Calendar, and click Connect. Google will show you a standard permissions screen listing exactly what Navi is asking for — reading events, creating events, and so on. Approve it.

Want to add more later? The same pattern works for Notion, Linear, Asana, Docs, Sheets, and Slides. You can connect them whenever you need them — no need to do all of them up front.

Step 3 — Send your first message

Type something in the chat box. Treat Navi like a capable assistant: describe what you want in plain English. A few prompts that work well on day one:

Navi will think for a moment, then start using the tools it needs. You'll see each step as it happens — "checking calendar," "searching Linear," "drafting Notion page." When it's done, it'll write back with an answer or a proposed action.

Step 4 — Approving actions

If you ask Navi to do something that changes one of your accounts — creating a calendar event, updating a Notion page, filing a Linear issue — it will pause and show you a preview:

"I'd like to create this calendar event — Wednesday 2pm, 'Q2 planning sync,' invitees sarah@example.com and dan@example.com. Approve?"

Click approve and it goes through. Click no and Navi will ask what to change. You never lose control of what actually happens.

Step 5 — Try the built-in agents

Navi ships with specialist agents pre-configured for common roles. You can pick one from the left sidebar:

• Calendar Agent — focused on scheduling, rescheduling, and meeting prep.
• Research Agent — web research and synthesis.
• Writing Agent — drafting and editing.
• Sales Agent — prospect research and pipeline tracking.
• Marketing Agent — content ideation and copy.
• Support Agent — customer reply drafting and knowledge-base search.
• Project Agent — task tracking across Linear, Asana, and Notion.
• Coding Agent — code execution in a sandbox.

Each agent has the right tools pre-wired and a focused personality. You can also clone any agent and customize it — change its instructions, its tools, its starter prompts — to build an assistant that fits how you work.

What to try next

After five minutes of basics, here's where most people go next:

• Calendar use cases — scheduling across time zones, finding free time, meeting prep.
• Scheduled agents — tell Navi to run a task every morning or every Monday.
• Notion integration — turn Notion into your always-updated work history.

Common questions

Do I need to write "prompts"?

No. Write the way you'd message a capable coworker. "Can you check my calendar for Thursday and find a 30-minute slot for me and Sarah?" works.

What if I don't like what Navi drafts?

Tell it. "Make it shorter." "Less formal." "Add a line about the timeline." Navi will redo it. You can iterate until it's right before approving.

Can Navi work when I'm offline?

Yes — through scheduled agents. You can tell Navi to sweep your Linear board every Monday morning, or post a weekly project summary to a Notion page every Friday, and it runs on its own. See the automation guide.

Is my data used to train AI?

No. Navi is not trained on your data, and your data is isolated per customer.
