Quick start

Sign in

Open app.arbituro.com and sign in. If a colleague invited you, open the link in their email instead. It signs you up, and choosing Join takes you into their workspace, so you can skip to Agree what done means.

Name your workspace

Someone who isn’t in a workspace yet is asked to name one. Type your company or team’s name, agree to the terms, and choose Create workspace. Your email address needs to be verified first.

Arbituro makes three things:

• the workspace, with you as its owner
• a first project, named after the workspace, with you as its owner
• an agent named Scout, which everyone in the workspace can use

File a first job

Arbituro asks what the first thing to get done is. Write it in a line, such as “Write the brief for the spring launch”, and choose Start. The job is filed in the first project, with you as its owner, and its page opens. Scout starts a first look straight away. It reads the job and changes nothing.

Choose Not now instead to go straight to the board.

Agree what done means

Under Done when on the job’s page, Scout suggests acceptance criteria once it has looked. Accept the ones that are true and reject the rest, or add your own. Then, under Delivered, choose the expected result: a document, a one-page memo, a slide deck, a draft pull request, a GitHub issue, or nothing to file.

Criteria are how the job will be judged, so a job without them is one nobody has said how to finish. See Acceptance criteria.

Put the agent to work

In the agent bar on the job’s page, choose Work and say what you want. Work means the agent plans, you approve, and it delivers.

• If the run could send anything outside, it shows its plan first. Approve it in Your turn.
• If it has a question, it asks in Your turn and waits for an answer.
• Every change or message it proposes waits there for your approval.

Agents need an AI model to run. If Settings says no model is turned on for your workspace yet, email support@arbituro.com and Arbituro’s support turns one on.

Judge the result

When the agent files its result, it appears in Your turn for the job’s judge, who is the job’s owner unless judging was handed to someone else. Open it, check it against the acceptance criteria, then accept it or reject it with a reason the agent can act on. Tick the criteria you decide as met or not met.

When every criterion is met and the result is accepted, mark the job done. See Review a result.

Set up the rest

• Invite your team from Settings, under People. See People and roles.
• Connect the accounts agents should work through, such as email, Slack or a CRM, from Settings, under Connections. See Connections.
• Give the project a brief, which every agent working there reads, and set its board. See Projects.
• Owners and admins see what is still missing in Settings, under Before agents can work here, until it is done.

The Admin guide covers everything else an owner or admin sets up.
