# Getting Started

### 1. Create your account

Go to [puregamma.ai](https://puregamma.ai) → **Sign up**. Three ways in:

* **Email**: email + password (min 8 chars with upper/lowercase letters and a digit), then solve the slider puzzle. A verification email is sent — **you must verify before signing in**. You can resend it from the login page (rate limited).
* **Google**: one-tap OAuth; creates or links your account automatically.
* **Mobile**: the Android/iOS apps support email and Google (iOS also supports Sign in with Apple).

**Slider puzzle tip**: drag the piece roughly onto the notch and release — pixel-perfect alignment is not required. You get several attempts per puzzle within its validity window, and can refresh for a new image.

### 2. What you see after signing in

The left sidebar has three groups:

* **Research**: Dashboard (Today), Agent Chat, Reports, Options, Backtest Lab
* **Portfolio**: NAV, Private Secretary
* **Company**: Billing, Account, Docs

The top bar shows your plan, membership tier (Silver/Gold), credit balance and account entry.

### 3. Suggested first steps

1. **Account**: set language (EN/中文) and theme (light/dark/system); configure notification channels.
2. **Billing**: check your plan, tier and credit balance. Free tier includes starter credits; paid plans add monthly credits and unlock higher limits (e.g. iMessage Agent).
3. **Portfolio (optional)**: connect read-only sources (Plaid, IBKR, Hyperliquid address, EVM wallet) so briefs and the Agent see your holdings. NAV is computed server-side; stale data is labeled, never faked.
4. **Mobile (optional)**: install the iOS (TestFlight) or Android (side-load APK) app; research runs, memory controls and trading safety are capability-gated and show “temporarily unavailable” where the backend is not yet implemented.
5. **From tomorrow**: the daily brief arrives automatically; ask the Agent or Secretary anything, anytime.

### 4. Language, theme, sessions

* The site is bilingual (中文/English); your choice syncs to your account across devices.
* Themes adjust all surfaces including chat bubbles and charts for contrast.
* When your session expires, actions redirect to login and return you to the original page afterwards.
* Forgot password: use "Forgot password" on the login page; reset links are single-use and expire.
* Repeated failures trigger a 15-minute rate limit — wait and retry.

### 5. Trading safety boundary

* The platform is research plus PAPER/SHADOW simulation only; **live trading is disabled by default and there is no live-order entry anywhere**.
* The Trading Safety surfaces show safety status, mandates and kill-switch state — read-only research information.
* Paid users can separately use the OpenAI-compatible API Gateway with an independent prepaid balance.
