# First steps

Brand new to ScaiWave? Work through these in order. Each takes a
few minutes.

1. [Send your first message](/docs/scaiwave/tutorials/first-steps/send-your-first-message) — create a room, type, send, react.
2. [Start a direct message](/docs/scaiwave/tutorials/first-steps/start-a-direct-message) — 1:1 with another participant.
3. [Chat with AI](/docs/scaiwave/tutorials/first-steps/chat-with-ai) — open a DM with an AI assistant and have your first conversation.
4. [Create and organise notes](/docs/scaiwave/tutorials/first-steps/create-and-organize-notes) — from your first note to a workspace knowledge graph.
5. [Manage your availability](/docs/scaiwave/tutorials/first-steps/manage-your-availability) — presence, notifications, mute, quiet hours, snooze.

When you're done, the [Power user tutorials](/docs/scaiwave/tutorials/power-user)
cover slash commands, the planner, sidekicks, and everything else that
makes the daily workflow fast.
