## 1. Create your org

Sign up at [norisessions.com](https://norisessions.com). Self-serve plans are
provisioned automatically: you get a single-tenant broker at
`<org>.norisessions.com`. If your org already exists, find it at
[login.norisessions.com](https://login.norisessions.com) — sign in and it
resolves your memberships.

## 2. Connect an agent provider

Open **Integrations** in your dashboard and connect Claude, Codex, or Gemini
— an API key or an OAuth login, either works. The
[integrations guide](/sessions/guides/integrations/) covers every provider and how
credentials are handled.

## 3. Start a session

Pick any surface:

- **Slack** — install the app from the Integrations checklist, then mention
  the bot in a channel: `@nori fix the failing CI on main`. It replies in a
  thread; plain replies continue the conversation.
- **Web** — open **Chat** in the dashboard and type. Same sessions, same
  fleet.
- **Terminal** — install [handroll](/sessions/handroll/) and hand a local session
  off to the cloud.

## 4. Let go

Sessions are designed to be abandoned: after 15 minutes of inactivity the
agent process winds down silently, but your claim on the machine survives —
reply in the thread and it picks up where it left off. Work is checkpointed
after every turn. Full contract: [lifecycle reference](/sessions/reference/lifecycle/).
