Set up SmallForce for your organization

Use this sequence for a new organization or client account.

1. Confirm the organization

Select the organization you want to work in before adding employees, files, channels, or connected accounts. Organization-owned resources stay associated with that organization.

Technical users can verify the organization attached to an API key with:

smallforce org get

2. Prepare an employee

Choose the employee that will own the first workflow. Give it a clear role, describe the result it is responsible for, and provide any operating constraints it should consistently follow. See AI employees.

3. Add business knowledge

Upload the documents the employee should use: brand guidance, service descriptions, client notes, policies, research, spreadsheets, or existing content. SmallForce indexes supported files so they can be searched from the workspace. See workspace search.

4. Connect where work happens

Connect Slack or Telegram when a team wants to work with employees from an existing communication channel. Connect external applications through integrations when the employee needs to react to events or execute provider tools.

5. Give a concrete first task

Start with an outcome that can be verified, such as:

  • “Use our brand files to draft next week’s social posts.”
  • “Create a website for this client and deploy a preview.”
  • “Review this meeting transcript and list every commitment.”
  • “Research competing local businesses and save the findings.”

Add the relevant files and expected deliverable. The employee can ask for missing information before acting.
