Quickstart

Get a working Ion workspace in under 2 minutes.

1. Create a workspace

Sign up at ion.app/signup with your work email. You'll start on a 14-day Pro trial — no credit card required.

2. Connect your tools

From the workspace setup screen, OAuth into the tools you use. The most common integrations:

  • Slack — for chat, mentions, and notifications.
  • GitHub — for PRs, issues, and commits.
  • Linear — for tickets and cycle time.
  • Notion — for docs and knowledge base.

Ion indexes your existing data in the background — most workspaces finish initial sync in under 30 minutes.

3. Ask your first question

Hit ⌘K anywhere in Ion to open the command palette. Try:

What's blocking the launch?

Ion will return an answer with citations from your actual docs, tickets, and threads — not the open internet.

4. Build your first automation

Go to Automations → New and describe what you want in plain English:

When a PR is merged into main, post a summary in #launches and close the linked Linear ticket.

Ion will draft the automation visually. Review it, click Enable, and you're done.
