# Getting started

> What you need, how long setup takes, and what to expect on day one.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What do I need to get started?">
    Your website URL. That's it — Slingso reads your public site to find your products and
    competitors. No catalogue upload, no integration required to begin.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need a developer?">
    No. Setup is pasting a URL and entering a sign-in code. Publishing the content you approve is
    manual — you copy it onto your site yourself — so there's nothing technical to wire up.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How long does setup take?">
    Minutes. After you subscribe and enter your sign-in code, your first run starts immediately
    and first results appear within a few minutes.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Will Slingso email me?">
    Yes — the agent sends a short, regular update on what it's seeing, plus a fuller recap at the
    start of each week. Anything that needs a decision also waits in your dashboard Inbox. More on
    [the agent's updates](/guide/agent-updates).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is there a free trial?">
    There's no time-limited trial — plans are paid from the start. The free
    [AI Shopping Readiness Check](https://www.slingso.com/ai-shopping-readiness-check) is the
    no-signup way to see what Slingso surfaces about your brand first.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need a CMS or any integration?">
    No — whatever platform you're on. You publish the content you approve yourself: copy it onto
    your site, or wherever it belongs, and paste the link back so Slingso can track how it does.
    No plugin, no integration — [and that's by design](/guide/integrations).
