User Guides

Short paths from zero to a useful first delegation.

1. Create your account

Section titled “1. Create your account”
  1. Go to john.ceo and request early access or sign in when you have an account.
  2. Complete registration and open the dashboard.

2. Create your private workspace

Section titled “2. Create your private workspace”

From the dashboard, create your private workspace. Setup can take a few minutes the first time. Wait until status shows it is running before you expect John to reply on a channel.

Capacity is limited during early access. If creation is waitlisted, follow the on-screen guidance.

3. Connect a messaging channel

Section titled “3. Connect a messaging channel”

Telegram (solo)

Section titled “Telegram (solo)”
  1. In the dashboard, connect Telegram (QR pairing is the simplest path; manual bot setup is available under advanced options).
  2. Restrict who can talk to John when the product asks for an allowlist.
  3. Apply changes to your private workspace so the connection takes effect.
  4. Message John with a real task.

Slack (team)

Section titled “Slack (team)”
  1. From the dashboard, install John in your Slack workspace (you need permission to install apps).
  2. Create or confirm your private workspace if you have not already.
  3. Message @John in a DM or thread with a real task.
  4. Teammates in the same thread share that conversation.

More detail: Install John in Slack.

4. Connect your first app

Section titled “4. Connect your first app”
  1. Open Connections in the dashboard.
  2. Pick a tool you use daily (calendar, mail, CRM, and so on).
  3. Complete the sign-in flow.
  4. Ask John to do something that needs that tool.

You can disconnect anytime.

5. Delegate a real task

Section titled “5. Delegate a real task”

Good first tasks are concrete and bounded:

  • “Summarize unread mail from the last day and list anything that needs a reply today.”
  • “Pull this week’s pipeline from the CRM and flag deals that went quiet.”
  • “Draft a follow-up to yesterday’s meeting and wait for my OK before sending.”

Give the goal, constraints, and where to look. John works better with outcomes than with click-by-click scripts.

6. Approvals

Section titled “6. Approvals”

When John needs to take a risky action (for example sending on your behalf), he asks first. In Slack you typically approve or deny in the thread. Until you approve, he does not complete that step.
