Get started with Fieldwerk
Sign up free, connect your AI assistant, then let it write your first memo. Fieldwerk gives you and your assistant one place to keep what you know, so a good chat becomes a memo your team can find, and your assistant can pick up where you left off. These six steps take about five minutes. New to the idea? Read What Fieldwerk is first.
Invited by someone else? Skip to If you were invited.
1. Sign up
Go to fieldwerk.ai and sign up with your email address, or your Google or Microsoft account. It's free to start. Fieldwerk creates a workspace for you, named after you, and you land in it on My memos. A short setup window lets you give the workspace a name and picture; click Done or skip it, since both can be changed later in settings. There is no sample content, so your first memo is yours.
2. Connect your AI assistant
Connect your assistant before anything else: it can then write, file and find memos for you. Follow the guide for yours:
For another AI tool, add Fieldwerk with the address https://mcp.fieldwerk.ai/mcp. Then, at the end of a useful chat, try it:
In Fieldwerk, save a summary of this conversation as a memo, with the decisions as a task list.Read more: try the prompts in Your first week with your AI assistant.
3. Write your first memo
Ask your assistant to write it, or click New memo in the sidebar, type a heading for the title, and start writing. Type / for headings, lists, tasks and tables. Fieldwerk saves as you type.

4. Put it in a collection
Collections group related memos, such as a project or a client. Ask your assistant to make one and file the memo, or click New collection in the sidebar, then open your memo and click + Add to collection.
Read more: Organise memos into collections.
5. Share it
Open the memo and click Share. Invite someone by email, or turn on the link so anyone who has it can read it.

6. Let your assistant show you around
In a new workspace, ask your assistant to help you set it up:
Look at my Fieldwerk workspace and suggest how to organise it: which collections to make and what standing instructions each should have.In a team workspace, ask it to walk you through what's there:
In Fieldwerk, introduce me to my workspace: list its collections and what each one is for (read their instructions), what's changed this week, anything waiting on me, and where I should start.Then bring your team
To work together across collections, upgrade the workspace to Pro and invite people. See Invite people to your workspace and Choose a plan and manage billing.
If you were invited
When someone invites you to their workspace, you start in their collections rather than an empty page.
Open the link in your invite email.
Sign in, or sign up with the email address the invite was sent to.
Click Join with the workspace's name. You land on All collections, showing the collections you've been given.
Connect your AI assistant, then ask it to introduce you to the workspace:
In Fieldwerk, introduce me to my workspace: list its collections and what each one is for (read their instructions), what's changed this week, anything waiting on me, and where I should start.Your own My memos starts empty; the team's work is in those collections. If you were invited as a guest to a single memo, you'll find it under Shared with me instead.
From there, Write your first memo and Share it work the same. To see how collections, notebooks and workspaces fit together, read How Fieldwerk is organised.
