## The scenario

A new hire joins the Slack workspace. They shouldn't need a web signup form or a long handbook read before Company Brain is useful — the whole first experience happens in Slack.

## What happens

They get a connect card, tap **Connect me**, and receive a welcome DM:

<SlackThread type="dm" dmWith={{ name: "supermemory" }} hasAvatar>
  <img src="/images/company-brain/supermemory-slack-icon.png" alt="" />
  <SlackMessage bot hasAvatar time="9:02 AM">
    <img src="/images/company-brain/supermemory-slack-icon.png" alt="" />
    Welcome to **Acme**. Here's what I know, what I can access, and what I keep private.

    Try one of these:
    1. What does Acme do?
    2. Who owns onboarding?
    3. Where do we track bugs?
  </SlackMessage>
  <SlackMessage name="Sam" color="#36C5F0" time="9:03 AM">
    What does Acme do?
  </SlackMessage>
  <SlackMessage bot hasAvatar time="9:03 AM">
    <img src="/images/company-brain/supermemory-slack-icon.png" alt="" />
    Acme builds memory infrastructure for AI apps — shared context for teams and agents. *(from the company profile your admin seeded at setup)*
  </SlackMessage>
</SlackThread>

Right after the first answer, they're prompted to connect personal tools (Linear, Notion) so day-two questions can hit live data.

## What's really going on

This is the [member join flow](/company-brain/setup) told as a scenario. Tapping **Connect me** creates a passwordless account from their Slack email, provisions their private [employee memory](/company-brain/permissions), and consumes a seat. The three starter questions are seeded so the first useful answer happens on the first tap — that's the activation moment.

No web app required for the new hire. Admins still do the one-time workspace + Slack install on the web.
