Quickstart

Welcome to Dimension! You've just completed onboarding with our AI agent, which has learned about you, your work, and set up your workspace. Here's how to get started using Dimension effectively.

What Just Happened?

During onboarding, Dimension AI:

  • Learned about you - Your role, company, and work patterns

  • Connected your integrations - Set up the tools you use daily (Gmail, Calendar, Slack, GitHub, etc.)

  • Installed workflows - Created automated workflows tailored to your persona and installed relevant workflow packs from our marketplace

  • Set up messaging - Connected iMessage or Slack Bot so you can talk to Dimension anywhere

Getting Started with Dimension

1. Start a Conversation

The fastest way to use Dimension is simply to ask. You can interact with Dimension in three ways:

In the Dimension App:

  • Use the chat interface to ask questions or request actions

  • Press Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) to quickly access commands

  • Tag documents, people, or data using @ mentions for context-aware responses

Via iMessage or Slack:

  • Text Dimension directly from your phone or Slack workspace

  • Get updates, ask questions, or trigger actions without opening the app

  • Perfect for on-the-go requests like "summarize my unread emails" or "what's on my calendar today?"

2. Explore Your Workflows

Dimension has already set up automated workflows based on your role:

To view your workflows:

  1. Click Workflows in the sidebar (expand sidebar by clicking the Dimension logo if collapsed)

  2. Review the workflows that were created during onboarding

  3. Edit, enable/disable, or create new workflows as needed

Common workflow examples:

  • For Founders/VCs: Daily digest of important emails, meeting prep summaries, portfolio updates

  • For Engineers: PR review notifications, deployment alerts, code review summaries

  • For Product Managers: Sprint summaries, stakeholder updates, issue triage

3. Try These Common Tasks

Here are some things you can ask Dimension to do right away:

Email & Communication:

  • "Summarize my unread emails from today"

  • "Draft a reply to [person's name]"

  • "Find emails about [topic] from last week"

Calendar & Scheduling:

  • "What's on my calendar tomorrow?"

  • "Find time for a 30-minute meeting with [person] next week"

  • "Schedule a team sync for Friday at 2pm"

Document & Data:

  • "Summarize the Q4 roadmap document"

  • "What were the action items from yesterday's meeting notes?"

  • "Search my docs for information about [topic]"

Workflows & Automation:

  • "Set up a daily summary of my GitHub PRs"

  • "Notify me when [specific event] happens"

  • "Create a workflow to track [specific pattern]"

4. Use Context with @ Mentions

Make your requests more powerful by tagging specific resources:

  • @document-name - Reference specific documents for context

  • @person-name - Include people in your requests

  • @codebase - Tag your indexed codebase for technical questions

  • @integration - Reference specific tools or data sources

Example: "Hey Dimension, using @Q4-Roadmap create a summary email for the team"

5. Explore Your Integrations

To manage integrations:

  1. Click Integrations in the sidebar

  2. View all connected integrations and their capabilities

  3. Connect additional integrations as needed

  4. Configure integration settings and permissions

Remember: Each integration enables triggers, AI capabilities, and knowledge base indexing (where supported).

Tips for Success

Be Conversational: Dimension understands natural language. Ask questions like you would to a colleague: "What's the status of the homepage redesign?" or "Help me prepare for my 3pm meeting."

Build on Previous Conversations: Dimension remembers context within a conversation thread. You can follow up with "Send that as an email" or "Add that to my calendar" without repeating details.

Use Workflows for Repetitive Tasks: If you find yourself asking Dimension the same thing regularly, create a workflow to automate it. Workflows can run on schedules or triggers.

Check Your Dashboard: Visit your dashboard regularly to see suggested actions, workflow activity, and important updates Dimension has surfaced for you.
