# Quick Start

> Go from zero to your first AI-powered meeting summary in under 2 minutes.

## Step 1 — Accept your invitation

Your company admin will send you an invitation email with the subject line:

> "You've been invited to join \[Company Name] on Fano Summary Agent"

Click **"Set Up Your Account"** in the email. You'll land on a setup page where you:

1. See your email (pre-filled) and company name.
2. Enter your **full name**.
3. Create a **password** (8+ characters, with uppercase, lowercase, and a number).
4. Click **"Activate Account."**

You're now logged in and taken to the Fano Summary dashboard.

## Step 2 — Connect your calendar

Head to **Settings → Integration** and connect your **Microsoft Outlook** calendar. This lets Fano see your upcoming meetings and join them automatically.

See [Connect Your Calendar](/getting-started/connect-calendar) for the full walkthrough.

## Step 3 — Set your preferences

Before your first meeting, take 30 seconds to configure two things in **Settings**:

| Setting              | Where to find it                 | What to set                                                                                    |
| -------------------- | -------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Summary Language** | Settings → Profile & Preferences | Choose the language for your AI summaries                                                      |
| **Bot Auto-join**    | Settings → Bot Preferences       | "Join all meetings" is on by default — leave it, or turn it off if you prefer manual recording |

## Step 4 — Have a meeting

That's it — just join your next call as usual. Fano will:

1. **Join automatically** as a visible note-taker bot.
2. **Record and transcribe** the entire meeting.
3. **Generate a summary** when the call ends.
4. **Email you a recap** if you have email notifications turned on.

## Step 5 — Review your notes

</Frame>

Your meetings appear in the left sidebar, sorted by date. Click any meeting to see:

* **Summary** — AI-generated notes organized by topic
* **Transcript** — Full transcript with speaker labels and timestamps
* **Audio** — Playback bar at the bottom to re-listen to any part

<Tip>
  Don't like the default summary format? Use the **template dropdown** above the summary to switch between formats like 1-on-1, Team Standup, Project Kick-off, and more. The summary regenerates instantly.
