Getting in
What the first hour looks like, from sign-in and the $50 start to a working inbox.
Anyone who runs their business on Gmail or Google Workspace can get started. It's three steps, and here's the first hour.
1. Your email
Enter the address you run the business on — Dustav reads Gmail and Google Workspace mail, so it has to be a Google one — and type back the 6-digit code we email you. No password to invent or forget. Your business is provisioned on the spot. Reading your mail is a separate ask, later, with its own explanation.
2. Add $50 to your balance
Before setup starts, you top up your balance once with $50. It isn't a fee or a subscription: it's your balance, and every cent of it goes to work Dustav does for you. You can tick auto-refill on the same page.
3. Meet it, connect Google
The first conversation is the setup. Dustav walks you through the few things it genuinely needs — what to call you, what the business is — and asks you to connect Google: Gmail, plus Google Calendar if you want your schedule handled. With your OK, it reads a little of your own sent mail to learn your voice — how you sign off, how formal you are — and shows you exactly what it learned for your confirmation before anything is saved.
Anything you skip, you can do later by just asking. Nothing gates you.
4. The first read
Connecting Google starts it: Dustav works through your recent mail and your Inbox fills with operator cards — the noise passed over, the real mail decoded with replies drafted. At the same time it looks through the last two months of what you send and receive for the emails you deal with over and over, and shows you the best one it finds as a workflow it could run for you. This is the moment the product makes its argument: sit and watch it.
5. Then it's just running
From here Dustav reads new mail as it lands. Your job shrinks to the part that was always actually yours: read the card, fix what needs fixing, hit send. Teach it a workflow the first time you catch yourself retyping something; check what it's learned on Intelligence; book the dates it lines up.
One person, one Dustav
Dustav is single-player on purpose: one person, their inbox, their agent. A two-person shop is two accounts, and the sharing happens where it already lives — in Google. Share a Google Calendar between you and it mirrors into each of your Dustavs on its own; there's no roster to manage and no in-app invite, because Google already does that part well.
