Create Your First Briefing
Get started with Protime in minutes - choose the path that works best for you
Getting Started is Simple
Creating your first briefing with Protime takes just minutes. We've designed three paths so you can choose what works best for you - try it instantly with a demo, track your topics with Protime Inbox, or connect your Gmail to transform existing emails into organized summaries.
Choose Your Quick Start Path
Two ways to experience Protime instantly
When you sign up or click "New Briefing" in your dashboard, our setup wizard launches automatically. You'll choose between the three options below - Demo Briefing for instant preview, Protime Briefing to track your topics (recommended), or Gmail Briefing for your personal emails. Then just follow the simple configuration steps, and your first briefing will be ready in minutes.
Demo Briefing
Instant preview
Try Protime instantly without connecting any accounts. See a pre-generated briefing with real content from today's top newsletters.
Choose this when:
- You want to see how Protime works right away
- You're curious but not ready to connect your email
- You want to see an example without sharing any data
- You want a quick demo before committing
Protime Briefing
Track your topics
Define topics you want to track and let AI automatically gather content from newsletters and searches. Each briefing gets its own Protime Inbox for forwarding content.
Choose this when:
- You want to track specific topics or interests
- You want AI to automatically find relevant newsletters
- You need a dedicated inbox for each briefing
- You want to start without connecting Gmail immediately
Gmail Briefing
Your emails intelligently summarized
Connect Gmail to transform your existing newsletters and emails into organized summaries. Combines perfectly with Protime Briefing for maximum coverage.
Choose this when:
- You have important emails piling up in your inbox
- You want AI-powered summaries of your email content
- You're ready to organize your entire email workflow
- You want to add your Gmail newsletters to Protime tracking
Demo briefings show you a pre-generated example using real content from popular newsletters in areas like Tech, Artificial Intelligence and German news. They are intended to showcase Protime, even though they might cover much of what you need.
Protime briefings let you track your topics of interest. Define what you want to follow - AI automatically finds relevant newsletters and searches for you. Each briefing gets its own Protime Inbox where you can forward content or let AI discover it. This is the recommended approach for most users.
Gmail briefings are perfect for processing your existing email subscriptions. Connect Gmail to transform newsletters, reports, and long emails into organized summaries. You have full control over what is processed through Gmail labels. Combine with Protime briefings for maximum coverage.
