# Quick Start

> Finish your first task in Happycapy in a few minutes

## 1. Open Happycapy

Visit [happycapy.ai](https://happycapy.ai), sign in, and open your first Project.

<div style={{ borderRadius: '18px', border: '1px solid rgba(45, 36, 27, 0.16)', overflow: 'hidden', background: '#F9F6F1', boxShadow: '0 20px 56px rgba(56, 38, 20, 0.11)', margin: '24px 0' }}>

</div>

* **Sidebar** — Create Projects, browse the Skill Store, and set up Automations.
* **Projects** — Work with Happycapy in a persistent workspace and follow progress as it runs.
* **Input box** — Type a request, attach files with **+**, choose a Skill, or pick a model when needed.

## 2. Ask for a result

Tell Happycapy what you want done. A good request usually includes the goal, context, and desired output.

```text theme={null}
Build a personal portfolio website with a dark theme and a contact form.
```

```text theme={null}
Analyze this CSV and create a chart showing monthly revenue trends.
```

```text theme={null}
Create a product launch image for this landing page.
```

Happycapy works in a cloud sandbox. Each Project has its own workspace inside that sandbox, where generated files and outputs stay. Open **Files** when you want to review, download, or reuse them.

## 3. Add files when the task needs context

Drag files into the conversation, or click **+** in the input box.

Happycapy can work with common files such as spreadsheets, PDFs, images, code, videos, CSV, and JSON.

Use files when you want Happycapy to analyze source material, transform an existing asset, or continue work from something you already have.

If a file or folder is already in the Project, type `@` in the input box and choose it from **Session Files**. This works for uploaded files, folders, and files Happycapy generated under `outputs/`, so you can ask Happycapy to inspect, edit, summarize, convert, or continue from a specific artifact without uploading it again.

## 4. Use Skills for repeated work

You do not need to install a Skill for every task. Describe what you want first, and Happycapy can choose relevant Skills when they fit the work.

Use the [Skill Store](/en/features/skill-store) when you want a repeatable workflow or a specific capability. You can also browse public [Skills](https://happycapy.ai/skills) on the website.

You can also type `/` in the input box to use slash commands. Slash commands can launch Skills directly, which is faster when you already know the workflow you want.

```text theme={null}
/frontend-design Create a landing page for a SaaS product.
```
