Hyperspell turns the tools your company already uses into one searchable brain that people and AI agents can ask questions of. Setting it up is a short guided flow in the dashboard. This page walks through each step and explains the choices you make along the way.

​
Before you start

You need a work email address to sign up.
Depending on which tools you want to connect, you may also need Admin access to the tools you plan to connect as shared integrations, since those use an API key or a service account rather than a personal login. The integration pages list what each tool needs.

​
Set up the brain

Sign up at app.hyperspell.com. The first person from a company to sign up becomes its admin and goes through the setup flow below. People you invite later get a shorter version, described further down.
If your company needs data to stay in the European Union, sign up at app.eu.hyperspell.com instead of the default US region. Everything else on this page is the same. See Regions and data residency.
1

Create your organization

Enter your organization’s name and pick a company size. The name is what your teammates will see when they join. You can change it later in Settings.
2

Choose your tools

Pick the data sources that should feed the brain. Tools are grouped by category, and a search box helps you find one quickly. Nothing is selected for you, and you need at least one tool to continue.Do not worry about being complete. You can add or remove tools at any time in Settings. A good first set is the two or three tools where most of your company’s knowledge lives: usually a chat tool, a document store, and a project tracker.
3

Configure your tools

This is the step that decides who can see what. For each tool you picked, you choose how it connects:
  • A shared integration uses one credential for the whole company, usually an API key or a service account that an admin sets up once. Everything it brings in is visible to everyone in your organization.
  • A personal integration is connected by each teammate with their own login. What it brings in is private to that person by default.
Some tools support both. Email and calendars only support personal connections, so their checkbox is fixed. We recommend shared integrations wherever a tool supports them, because the data becomes useful to the whole team immediately and nobody has to connect anything themselves.Choose shared only for tools whose content the whole company may see. Hyperspell does not copy the source tool’s own permission settings, so a shared Google Drive is visible to everyone in your organization even if the folder was restricted in Drive. Permissions explains this in detail, and content rules let you hold back specific categories of content.Meeting-notes tools are the one exception: Gong, Fireflies, Fathom, Fellow, and Granola. Recordings often include one-on-ones, so a shared connection for these tools does not make its content visible to everyone automatically. If you want a company-wide meeting corpus, tell us when you connect it and we will turn that on.

Connect to shared tools

This step appears only if you set up at least one shared integration. For each one, click Connect and follow the instructions for that tool. Most ask for an API key or a service account file, and the integration pages show exactly where to find them.You can continue without connecting everything. Anything you skip stays listed under Settings, where you can connect it later.
5

Connect your personal tools

For each personal integration, click Connect and sign in with your own account. The sign-in opens in a popup, and the row updates when you return. Your teammates do the same for themselves when they join.Some tools let you narrow what gets indexed, for example which Slack channels or which Drive folders. Those pickers are available in Settings after setup.
6

Connect your agents

Give your AI agents access to the brain. Each row opens short instructions:
  • Claude, for Claude on the web, Claude Desktop, and Cowork.
  • ChatGPT, on the web and desktop.
  • MCP clients, for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and any other agent that speaks the Model Context Protocol.
  • CLI, a command line tool that keeps a Markdown copy of the brain on your computer for coding agents.
  • Slack, a workspace assistant you can mention in channels. This row appears once your Slack integration is connected.
You can skip this step with Set up later and come back to it from Settings at any time. Connecting agents covers each option in depth.
7

Invite your team

Add teammates by email. Each invitee can be marked as an admin, which lets them manage integrations, content rules, members, and API keys. Everyone else joins as a member and can connect their own tools and agents.Click Finish to complete setup, or Skip for now to invite people later from Settings. Invitations go out by email, and each person is guided through connecting their own accounts when they accept.

​
What happens next

As soon as a tool is connected, Hyperspell starts reading from it. The first documents show up within a few minutes. Tools with a long history, such as a busy Slack workspace or years of email, take longer to index fully because the source tools limit how fast anyone can read from them. You do not have to wait for indexing to finish before asking questions. The Home page of the dashboard shows the newest memories as they arrive, so you can watch the brain fill up. Each integration has its own page listing the documents it brought in. The brain keeps itself up to date from then on. New messages, edited documents, and closed deals flow in automatically.

​
For invited teammates

People you invite see a shorter version of the setup flow, since the organization and its integrations already exist:
  1. A welcome screen for your organization’s brain.
  2. Connect your personal tools. Each member signs in to the personal integrations the admin configured. Shared integrations need nothing from them.
  3. A summary of what is already in the brain: how many memories, from how many documents, across how many integrations.
  4. Connect your agents. The same options as above, so each person can connect their own Claude, ChatGPT, or coding agent.
Every agent a person connects sees exactly what that person is allowed to see.

​
Next steps

Connect your agents

Set up Claude, ChatGPT, coding agents, or the command line tool.

Understand permissions

Who sees what, and how shared and personal data differ.

Set up content rules

Keep sensitive categories out of the brain, and share personal content that the team should have.

Configure integrations

Narrow what gets indexed, add tools, and manage members.
