# Welcome

Welcome to the Aubrey knowledge base.

These articles are here to help you set up Aubrey, create an agent, chat with it, connect the tools you want to use, and manage your account.

## Start here

If you are new to Aubrey, begin with [Getting Started with Aubrey](/aubrey-docs/documentation/getting-started/getting-started-with-aubrey.md). It walks through account setup, choosing built-in email and calendar or Google Workspace, and creating your first agent.

If you already have an agent, use these guides:

* [Terminology](/aubrey-docs/documentation/getting-started/terminology.md)
* [Creating and Managing Agents](/aubrey-docs/documentation/getting-started/creating-and-managing-agents.md)
* [Chatting with Aubrey](/aubrey-docs/documentation/getting-started/chatting-with-aubrey.md)
* [Email, Calendar, and Messaging](/aubrey-docs/documentation/guides/email-calendar-and-messaging.md)
* [Sharing an Agent](/aubrey-docs/documentation/guides/sharing-an-agent.md)
* [Sample Use Cases](/aubrey-docs/documentation/sample-use-cases.md)
* [Billing and Account Settings](/aubrey-docs/documentation/settings/billing-and-account-settings.md)

## A note about names

Aubrey uses the word "agent" for the AI helper you create and work with. For a plain-English guide to the main product terms, see [Terminology](/aubrey-docs/documentation/getting-started/terminology.md).

## What Aubrey can help with first

During setup, Aubrey offers starting points such as personal productivity, email follow-up, project momentum, and research and writing. Family setups can also include school emails, weekly planning, shared errands, appointments, caregiver coordination, and meals or travel.

You can start simple. Give Aubrey one real task, review the preview, and adjust from there.

## See Sample Use Cases

The [Sample Use Cases](/aubrey-docs/documentation/sample-use-cases.md) section shows practical workflows based on the public "How People Use Aubrey" pages, including family activity planning, family knowledge, soccer carpool coordination, shared event checklists, and jury duty checks.
