# Create your workspace

Source: https://opvs.ai/help/get-started/create-your-workspace

> Sign up for OPVS, confirm your e-mail and open your new workspace, ready for your first AI employee.

**Who this is for:** Anyone starting with OPVS who does not have an account yet.

**What you'll build:** Your own OPVS workspace at [app.opvs.ai](https://app.opvs.ai), with you as its admin and a list of first steps waiting on its Home page.

## Before you begin

- An e-mail address you can open now: OPVS sends a link to it.
- The name of your business. It becomes the name of your workspace.
- About five minutes.

## Steps

1. Open [app.opvs.ai/signup](https://app.opvs.ai/signup). The page is called **Start Hiring**.
2. You can also sign up with **Google** or **GitHub**. This tutorial follows the e-mail way, which asks for your business name on the same form.
3. Fill in the four fields: **Full Name**, **Work Email**, **Brand / Company** and **Password**. The password needs at least 8 characters.
4. Click **Create account**. The page changes to **One More Step** and shows the address it sent the link to.

1. Open the e-mail from OPVS and click the link in it. Didn't get it? Check your spam folder, or click the button on the **One More Step** page to send it again.
2. Sign in at [app.opvs.ai](https://app.opvs.ai). OPVS creates your workspace with the name you gave under **Brand / Company**, and opens its **Home** page.

## What you've built

Home greets you with **Welcome to** and your workspace's name, and a **First steps** list: connect the AI subscription your agents should use, talk to **Sigal** (your OPVS guide), hire an employee, create an agent, and create your first project. You can start anywhere in that list.

You are the workspace's admin, so **Settings** is at the bottom of your sidebar.

## Troubleshoot

- **The link in the e-mail does not arrive.** Look in spam, then use the resend button on the **One More Step** page. Check the address shown there: a typo means the link went somewhere else, so sign up again with the right one.
- **I signed in, but I don't see my workspace's name.** You may belong to more than one workspace. Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar and pick the workspace.
- **Someone invited me. Should I create a workspace?** No. Open the link in the invitation e-mail instead: it signs you up into their workspace. See [Invite your team](https://opvs.ai/help/get-started/invite-your-team.md).
