Your First Project

Tutorial · 15 minutes

Build a real marketing campaign project from scratch. By the end, you will have a working project board with tasks, deadlines, and an AI assistant that can read and update the project board you authorize.

💡 Different from the quickstart:

The quickstart gets you set up in two minutes. This tutorial goes deeper — you will build a complete project and learn how each piece fits together.

01 — What You Will Build

You are going to create a project board for a product launch campaign. When you are done, you will have:

A project with tasks and deadlines
An AI assistant connected to your board
Comments and context on tasks
Assistant-created task details

02 — Create Your Workspace

A workspace is where all your projects live. Think of it as a folder that holds everything your team works on.

1

Sign up or sign in

Go to agiflow.io and create a free account. If you already have one, sign in.

You see your workspace dashboard
2

Name your workspace

Give it a name that makes sense for your team or company. You can change this later.

Your workspace name appears in the top left

03 — Create the Campaign Project

Projects hold related tasks. For this tutorial, you will create a project for a product launch campaign.

1

Click "New Project"

From your workspace dashboard, click New Project. You will see a form with a name field and an optional template picker.

The new project form is open
2

Name it "Spring Product Launch"

Type a clear name that describes the work. Your AI assistant will use this name to understand what the project is about.

The project name is filled in
3

Pick the Marketing template

Templates give you pre-built status columns. The Marketing template includes Ideation, Brief, In Progress, and Review — a natural flow for campaign work.

You see four status columns on your board
💡 Why templates matter:

Status columns define the stages work moves through. When your AI assistant moves a task from “In Progress” to “Review,” everyone on the team sees the change instantly. Choose columns that match how your team actually works.

04 — Add Your First Tasks

Tasks are the individual pieces of work in your project. Add three tasks to get started — you will add more with your AI assistant in a later step.

Write launch announcement email

HighNext Monday

Draft the email that goes out on launch day. Include key features, pricing, and a call to action.

Design social media graphics

MediumNext Wednesday

Create visuals for Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter. Use the new product screenshots.

Update the landing page

HighNext Friday

Add the new pricing section and feature comparison table to the product page.

Check your progress

You should now have three tasks in the Ideation column. Each has a title, description, priority, and due date. Click any task to see its full details.

05 — Connect Your AI Assistant

Now connect an AI assistant so it can see your project board and help you manage tasks. You need your Organization ID — find it in your workspace settings.

Step 1: Copy your connection settings

Paste this into your AI assistant’s settings. Replace YOUR_ORG_ID with the ID from your workspace settings page.

Connection settings
{ "mcpServers": { "agiflow": { "url": "https://api.agiflow.io/api/v1/organizations/YOUR_ORG_ID/mcp" } } }

Step 2: Paste into your assistant

ChatGPT

Settings → MCP Servers → Add Server

Claude

Settings → MCP Servers → Add

Cursor

Settings → MCP → Add Server

A browser window opens for sign-in the first time
💡 Test the connection:

After connecting, try asking your assistant: “What projects do I have?” It should show your Spring Product Launch project. If it does, the connection is working.

06 — Use Your Assistant to Plan

Your assistant can now read your project board. Try these prompts to see it use real Agiflow capabilities: listing tasks, updating tasks, and creating task comments.

1

Refine a task

Try this prompt

Add acceptance criteria to the "Write launch announcement email" task.

What happens

Your assistant reads the task, updates the description or acceptance criteria, and keeps the original due date attached to the task.

Why this matters

Clear acceptance criteria make the task easier to review and reduce back-and-forth during execution.

2

Get a status update

Try this prompt

Give me a status update on the Spring Product Launch project.

What happens

Your assistant scans every task on your board and groups them by status: what is done, what is in progress, and what has not started. It highlights anything overdue.

Why this matters

Instead of clicking through every task, you get a summary in seconds. This is especially useful when you have dozens of tasks across multiple columns.

3

Add context to a task

Try this prompt

Add a comment to the landing page task: "Check with design team about the hero image before starting."

What happens

Your assistant adds the comment to the task. Anyone on your team who opens that task will see it, along with who added it and when.

Why this matters

Comments keep decisions and context attached to the work they relate to. No more searching through chat messages or emails to find what was agreed.

4

Move work forward

Try this prompt

Move the social media graphics task to In Progress.

What happens

Your assistant updates the task status. The card moves from Ideation to In Progress on the board.

Why this matters

You can update your board from any conversation with your assistant — no need to switch to the project board app every time something changes.

07 — Review What You Built

Take a moment to look at your project board. You should have:

A workspace with your name
A "Spring Product Launch" project
Three tasks with priorities and deadlines
Task details refined by your assistant
A comment with context on one task
At least one task moved to In Progress

This is the same process teams use every day with Agiflow. You create projects, break work into tasks, and let your AI assistant help with routine project-board work — status updates, task refinement, comments, and summaries.
