# Quickstart: your first workflow

> Describe an automation to the AI builder, run it, and inspect the results in about 5 minutes.

In this quickstart you describe an automation in plain language, let the AI builder assemble it, and run it. No setup beyond an account.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign in">
    Go to [noclick.com](https://noclick.com) and sign in. You land on the dashboard, which lists your workflows.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a workflow">
    Click the **New Workflow** card. A blank canvas opens with a chat panel.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Describe what you want">
    Type a description into the chat and send it. For example:

    ```text theme={null}
    Every morning, fetch top posts from r/programming and email me a summary
    ```

    The builder plans the workflow, then adds and configures the nodes: a schedule trigger for "every morning", a Reddit node that fetches top posts, an AI step that writes the summary, and a send-email node that delivers it to your account email.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Answer the builder's questions">
    The builder pauses when it needs something from you, like connecting an account for an integration. Answer in the chat or use the form it shows, and it continues building. See [Builder questions](/builder/asks) for how this works.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run it">
    Click **Run** in the top bar. Nodes light up as they execute.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Inspect the outputs">
    Click any node to open its output panel and see exactly what it produced, like the list of posts the Reddit node returned. Past runs live in the [Logs tab](/editor/execution-logs).

    </Frame>
  </Step>
</Steps>

The schedule trigger now runs this workflow every morning without you touching it.
