Get started

Five steps from nothing to your first emails written by Amdahl: connect your agent, add the skill, collect what you know about each recipient, give your agent one file, and read the result.

Amdahl writes better outbound emails when it knows more about each recipient. This page takes 15 to 25 minutes.

What you need

  • A workspace. Your admin can add you. No workspace yet? Use console.amdahl.ai/try with your work email.
  • An agent. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex or Claude Code.

Steps

Connect your agent

Pick one:

  • Claude Code, Codex or Cursor: run npx @amdahl/cli install claude-code (or codex, cursor) in your terminal. Sign in with your work email.
  • Claude (web or desktop): go to Customize, then Connectors, then + Add, then Add custom connector. Enter the name Amdahl and the URL https://app.amdahl.ai/mcp. Click Connect and sign in.
  • ChatGPT: follow Connect your agent.
  • A script or server: run npx @amdahl/cli keys create --name "Get started" --preset agent. Put the key in a .env file as AMDAHL_KEY. Do not paste the key in a chat.

Add the skill (Claude only)

Download amdahl.zip. In Claude, go to Customize, then Skills, then + Add, then Upload skill.

Collect what you know

Make one row per recipient. Use a CSV file, or let your agent read your CRM, Clay or sequencer.

knownCRM: trial started Sep 30. Call Oct 2: her SDRs rewrite every AI draft.
askA 15 minute call next week

Give each recipient at least two facts, with their source, and a reason to write now. One fact gives a generic email. Also tell your agent what you sell. You do not need a draft: Amdahl writes the email from these facts.

Give your agent the brief

Download the agent brief. Attach it to a new chat with your CSV file, and send this:

text
Follow the attached Amdahl brief. Use my CSV. Run 10 rows.

Read the result

Your agent shows Amdahl's email first, exactly as Amdahl wrote it. Then it shows how Amdahl got there. Ten emails take 10 to 20 minutes. Approve the ones you want to use. Your agent changes nothing in your tools without your OK.
