# Quickstart
> Connect your first data source and see Modem in action
export const Prompt = ({text, variant = 'accent'}) => {
const [copied, setCopied] = useState(false);
const handleCopy = async () => {
try {
await navigator.clipboard.writeText(text);
setCopied(true);
setTimeout(() => setCopied(false), 2000);
} catch {}
};
const clipboardIcon = ;
const checkIcon = ;
const promptIcon = ;
return
{promptIcon}
{text}
;
};
Get started with Modem by connecting a data source and exploring your user feedback. The whole process takes about five minutes.
## Prerequisites
* A Modem account ([sign up here](https://app.modem.dev) if you haven't already)
* Access to at least one communication platform (Slack, Discord, or GitHub)
## Step 1: Create Your Organization
After signing up, you'll create an **organization**. This is the workspace where your data sources, team members, and settings live.
Go to [app.modem.dev](https://app.modem.dev) and sign in with your account.
Enter a name for your organization (usually your company or product name), a URL slug, and optionally your company's domain.
## Step 2: Connect a Data Source
Next, you'll be asked to connect at least one data source. Start with wherever your users communicate most.
Best for teams with active customer Slack channels or a community workspace.
Ideal for developer communities and open-source projects.
Connect issues and pull request conversations.
Each integration uses OAuth, so you'll be redirected to authorize Modem. After connecting, you'll select which channels or repositories Modem should monitor.
You can connect multiple data sources later. Modem correlates people across platforms automatically.
## Step 3: Watch Your Data Come In
After connecting, Modem begins ingesting data. You should see data populate your account within about a minute and continue streaming in from there. You'll land on the main dashboard where you can start exploring right away.
## Step 4: Explore Your Data
Here's what you'll find in the dashboard:
* **Topics.** AI-discovered conversation themes. Modem groups related messages into topics, even across different channels and platforms.
* **People.** Everyone who's interacted across your connected sources, with their feedback history, engagement patterns, and associated companies.
* **Companies.** Organizations identified from your connected sources, with aggregated feedback and engagement across their people.
## Step 5: Use the Agent
The Modem Agent lets you explore your data and take action using natural language. Open it from the dashboard or talk to it directly in Slack via DM or @mention.
It can create tickets, delegate tasks to coding agents, set up automations, draft release notes, and more. See [The Modem Agent](/features/agent) for the full list of capabilities.
