# Your first task

1. **Open the office.** Hover the island, click it, or press `Alt` + `N`.
2. **Press the circle** at the bottom left. Each agent's logo fans out; hover one to see its name. A tool that isn't installed or signed in is grey and says why.
3. **Pick an agent.** The box grows for it: prompt, image, folder, access and model.
4. **Choose a folder.** There's no prompt until a folder that exists is picked. Pick one under version control.
5. **Type the task and send.** A bot walks in, sits at a free desk and starts.

> **Heads up:** With full tool access an agent can edit files and run commands in that folder without asking. Hover explains this the first time you open the office. To be asked first, see [Tool access](https://tryhover.co/docs/access.md).

`Esc`, the chevron or a click on the office folds the box back. Your draft is kept, marked with a dot on the circle.

For Kiro, the box also has a cloud button that sends the task to Kiro Web instead of running it on this computer; see [Agents](https://tryhover.co/docs/agents.md).

> **Tip:** You can say the task instead of typing it. Press `Ctrl` + `Alt` + `Space`, speak, and press it again; see [Voice](https://tryhover.co/docs/voice.md).
