Your First 10 Minutes With a-gnt: A Quick Start Guide

Welcome. Let's Get You Set Up.

So you've landed on a-gnt.com and you're looking at a lot of tools, categories, and buttons. Don't worry. This is the five-minute version of everything you need to know.

By the time you finish reading this, you'll know how to find tools, use them, and save your favorites. Let's go.

What Is a-gnt?

a-gnt is a catalog of AI tools. Think of it like an app store, but for things that plug into your AI — ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and others.

We organize everything so you can find what you need fast:

• Prompts — copy-paste instructions that make your AI do specific things (plan meals, play games, write better)
• Souls — personality templates that change how your AI talks and thinks
• MCP Servers — tools that connect your AI to other apps (Notion, Spotify, Google Drive)
• Skills — specialized capabilities you can add to your AI
• Agents — full AI assistants built for specific tasks

You don't need to use all of these. Most people start with prompts and souls because they're the easiest — just copy and paste.

Minute 1-2: Browse

Start at the homepage. You'll see featured tools and categories. Tap into anything that looks interesting.

Or go straight to what you need:

• /browse/prompts — all prompts, filterable by tag
• /category/souls — personality templates
• /search — search for anything

Try a search. Type "cooking" or "games" or "study" and see what comes up. Every result links to a tool page with a description and instructions.

Minute 3-4: Pick Something and Use It

Let's say you found the 👨Dad Joke Machine. Here's how to use it:

1. Tap the tool to open its page
2. Tap "Copy" — this copies the prompt to your clipboard
3. Open your AI app (ChatGPT, Claude, whatever you use)
4. Start a new conversation
5. Paste the prompt and hit send
6. Your AI is now a 👨dad joke machine

That's the core loop. Find a tool, copy it, paste it into your AI. Works for every prompt and soul on the site.

Minute 5-6: Try a Soul

Souls are personalities. They change how your AI talks without changing how smart it is.

Go to /category/souls and pick one. The SStandup Comic is a good first try — it makes your AI genuinely funny. Or try the ZZen Master if you want something calmer.

Copy it, paste it as the first message in a new AI conversation, and start chatting. Ask it anything. You'll notice the difference immediately.

Minute 7-8: Save Your Favorites

When you find something you like, tap the heart icon to save it. Your saved tools show up in your library so you can find them again without searching.

Want to go further? Create a Bench. A Bench is like a playlist — a collection of tools grouped around a theme. You might make a "Game Night" bench with all your favorite game prompts, or a "Morning Routine" bench with productivity tools.

You can browse benches other people have made, too. It's a good way to discover tools you wouldn't have found on your own.

Minute 9-10: Explore

Now that you know the basics, here are some good places to wander:

• /search?q=fun — games, jokes, creative stuff
• /search?q=productivity — get things done
• /search?q=cooking — meal planning, recipes, kitchen help
• /search?q=study — flashcards, essay help, test prep

Each tool page shows you what it does, how to use it, and what category it belongs to. If you're not sure about something, just try it. The worst that happens is you don't like it and you try the next one.

Quick FAQ

Do I need to pay for anything?
Most tools on a-gnt are free to use. You copy them into your own AI app. Some MCP servers might need API keys from third-party services, but prompts and souls are always free.

Which AI app should I use?
Whatever you already have. ChatGPT and Claude both work great. Prompts and souls work with any AI that lets you type instructions.

Can I use this on my phone?
Yes. The whole site works on mobile. Copy a prompt, switch to your AI app, paste, and go.

What's the difference between a prompt and a soul?
A prompt tells your AI to do something specific (make flashcards, plan a trip). A soul changes its personality (talk like a detective, be encouraging like a coach). You can use both at the same time.
