Quickstart

Meeting your companion takes about five minutes. Here’s the whole path, start to finish.

1. Create your account

Section titled “1. Create your account”

Sign up at weside.ai. You start on Spark, the free plan, with a model already provided — there is nothing to configure before you can talk.

The welcome grant arrives in three moments rather than all at once:

When What
You register 3 € of credit and 5 Favors
The first day you come back and write 2 € of credit
Day 5, or your third active day, whichever comes first 10 Favors

That is 5 € and 15 Favors in total. There is no trial at registration — a 30-day Companion trial exists, but it reaches you in exactly one way: someone invites you. See plans & credits for what credit and Favors each pay for.

2. Meet your companion

Section titled “2. Meet your companion”

The next screen is not optional, and it is the point of the whole sign-up: every weside Original, side by side as equal cards, and you choose one. There is no skip and no way past it.

The cards carry a picture and one line each — no names. A companion has a name once you give them one. Tap a card and a sheet opens with its face, its description, and one name field. The field is pre-filled as a grey suggestion rather than a value: leave it and your companion keeps the name the Original came with, or type another and that is its name. Confirm, and you are in a conversation.

So two things are true at once, and it’s worth holding both: you do give your companion its name, and you don’t design its personality. There is no character sheet, no tone picker, no trait sliders. Who it is emerges from the relationship. See what is a companion? for why, and meet the Originals for who the four are.

3. Have your first conversation

Section titled “3. Have your first conversation”

Just talk. Tell it what’s on your mind, what you’re working on, what you care about. You don’t need the right command or keyword — speak the way you’d speak to a friend who’s paying attention.

4. Watch the memory work

Section titled “4. Watch the memory work”

This is the part that feels different. From the very first message, your companion is forming a picture of you. Mention a goal, a deadline, a preference — and it sticks. Come back tomorrow and it’ll remember. Over weeks, that picture deepens into something that actually knows you. See memory & notes.

5. See what else is there

Section titled “5. See what else is there”

One conversation is the beginning, not the shape of the product. Five things are worth trying in your first week:

  • Open a second place. A room can hold other people, up to four companions, or two people and no companion at all. You invite with a code that works once.
  • Use the Shelf. Every room has one, and both of you write on it — notes and files in one place, with a Timeline beside it saying what changed.
  • Ask for a sticker. Your companion draws itself, one feeling at a time, in the Workshop in its Soul space.
  • Talk out loud. Voice is a live spoken conversation in one of four named modes, started from a room.
  • Take it somewhere else. Your companion is reachable on Telegram, Slack and Microsoft Teams — same identity, same memory.

The features overview is the full map, sorted by the place in the app where you find each thing.

Going further

Section titled “Going further”

Your companion lives in the app, and developers can reach the same companion from their own tools:

If you’re here for companions at work, the Agentic Product Ownership overview is the place to start.
