# Set up

## 1. Sign in with Apple or Google
Open Pique, then tap one of the two big buttons on the welcome screen. No password to remember — Pico uses your existing account.

Continue with Apple

Continue with Google

## 2. Complete the onboarding flow
Pico asks a few quick things — your role, the features you're excited about, and an email opt-in for daily briefs. Tap through; you can change any answer later in Settings.

- **Student**: For classes & lectures
- **Professional**: For work & meetings
- **Personal**: For everyday note-taking

## 3. Enable notifications
A heads-up before each meeting and gentle nudges to follow up on action items. Tap `Enable Notifications` and accept the system prompt — you can always adjust later in Settings.

- Standup in 1 minute
- Tap to start recording

## 4. Connect your Google Calendar
The one we recommend you don't skip — powers pre-reads, slide-to-record, and your daily rundown. Tap `Connect Google Calendar` and accept the prompt.

- Calendar connected

### Capture your first meeting

## 5. Land on the Events tab — your home screen
Pique opens here by default — today's meetings in time order with attendees, later days under their date below. Tap the floating `+` at the bottom-right to reveal three options: `Record` (the green mic), `New Note`, or `New Action Item`.

## 6. Slide to record when the meeting starts
A slide bar appears on the card when the meeting starts. Drag the white mic thumb all the way right to begin. **No calendar?** Just tap the mic icon.

- Drag the mic to start recording
- Pre-read fills in from prior meetings

## 7. Talk normally — Pico transcribes live
A dock pops up at the bottom of the screen with elapsed time, audio waveform, and the live transcript. Pause anytime; tap stop when you're done. Then tap `Create Notes` at the top of the editor — Pico restructures your transcript into clean notes.

- Transcript: 34:30

Let Pico structure your notes

## 8. AI Notes & Mind Map
You get a clean recap — headlines, key points, and every action item pulled out for you. Tap the mind map icon for a visual map of how the ideas connect.

### Build the daily rhythm

## 9. Track your action items
Switch to the third tab — Action Items. Pico pulls To Dos out of every meeting; triage to sort them, swipe to start (up to 3 active), then run a Pomodoro to focus until they're done.

## 10. Chat with Pico anytime
Tap Pico at the top of Events or the floating capybara on Notes and Action Items. Pico has full context on your meetings, notes, and people — ask for a recap, a follow-up draft, or what to focus on next.

### Stuck or have feedback?
