Quickstart

Get from first chat to a grounded Springbase workflow in minutes.

The 2-Minute Sprint

If you want to see Springbase work right away, start here.

  1. Sign up at springbase.ai with Google or email.
  2. Open Chat and ask a real question using one of the available frontier models.
  3. Try Plan Mode by describing a bigger goal, such as "research this market and turn it into a launch plan." Springbase will break the work into steps and execute the plan.

Springbase is more than another AI chat. The moment you add your own knowledge, it becomes a personalized execution engine for your work.

Build Your Knowledge Base With Contexts

Contexts are the heart of Springbase. They let the AI answer from your source material instead of guessing from general knowledge.

1. Create a Context

Think of a Context as a focused knowledge base for one topic, team, project, or workflow.

  • Go to Contexts.
  • Choose Create New Context.
  • Give it a clear name, icon, and description.

Good first Contexts include:

  • Company wiki
  • Product specs
  • Customer support docs
  • Sales enablement material
  • Meeting archive
  • Q3 planning notes

2. Add Your Sources

You can start with simple uploads, then connect live sources when you want the knowledge base to stay fresh.

Source typeUse it for
Static uploadsPDFs, Markdown, TXT, and code files.
Live sourcesSlack, Notion, GitHub, Google Drive, and other connected tools.
Community ContextsPublic knowledge bases you can equip into your own workspace.

3. Mention the Context in Chat

Once your source material is in Springbase, mention the Context directly from Chat with @.

@CompanyWiki What is our policy on remote work?

Springbase will use that Context as grounding and show citations when answers come from source documents.

Put Springbase To Work

Once your knowledge is connected, you can turn one-off AI work into repeatable systems.

FeatureWhat it doesBest for
RecipesReusable prompt templates with variables.Weekly reports, blog outlines, customer replies, code reviews.
PlansDynamic multi-step execution for complex goals.Research, analysis, content repurposing, decision prep.
AgentsAI workflows that can use connected tools.Updating systems, monitoring sources, moving work across apps.
CitationsLinks back to the exact source material behind an answer.Fact-checking, legal review, technical accuracy, support quality.

Community And Sharing

You do not need to build every knowledge base from scratch.

  • Discover public Contexts created by the community.
  • Equip a useful Context to add it to your workspace instantly.
  • Publish your own Context when it is useful for others.

Pro Tips

  • Start small. One strong Context with a few trusted files is better than a messy knowledge dump.
  • Watch citations. Click source references to verify where an answer came from.
  • Use live sources for changing knowledge. Slack channels, GitHub repos, and Google Drive folders are great when the source changes often.
  • Turn wins into Recipes. When a prompt works more than once, save it as a reusable Recipe.
  • Save useful Plans. If a Plan produces a great workflow, keep it so you can rerun it with new inputs later.

Next Steps

  1. Create your first Context.
  2. Ask three real questions from Chat.
  3. Save the best prompt as a Recipe.
  4. Try Plan Mode on a goal that has more than one step.
