# Set up your workspace

> Create your account, connect your data, and build your first canvas in Propane

Propane helps your team turn customer evidence into product decisions — faster, and grounded in real data. This guide gets you from a new workspace to working in Propane in a few steps.

<Info>
  The **Free plan** includes full canvas access, unlimited users and Spaces, real-time collaboration, and MCP (Connectors) access. There is no limit on the number of users — the only restrictions are on locked features.

  The **Growth plan** unlocks **Signals & customers** (Signals, Companies, People, Integrations) and **Research agents**.
</Info>

## Create your account

[Sign up](https://app.usepropane.ai/signup) with your work email. Create a workspace for your organization and invite your team from **Settings → Team & Members**. See [Team and members](/settings/team-and-members) for details.

## Connect your data

Propane works without connected data, but the canvas and AI output are significantly stronger when grounded in real customer evidence.

* **[Integrations](/context/integrations/what-they-bring-in)** — Link Intercom, HubSpot, Attio, or other sources via Integrations. Data is shared across your whole team. *(Growth plan)*

* **[Connectors](/settings/connectors)** — Use an MCP connector to bring in live context from tools like Notion, Linear, or PostHog for your own sessions. Open **Settings → Connectors** in Propane to connect and manage accounts.

* **Paste in content** — Paste transcripts, research notes, or any text-based material directly into the prompt. See [Uploading files](/chat/uploading-files) for pasting and upcoming file uploads.

## Build your first canvas

Start by creating a Space. Then type your intent into the prompt input box — this creates a canvas and kicks off the conversation. The AI asks focused follow-up questions to understand what you are working on, then generates your document.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a Space">
    Go to the Spaces tab and create a Space for your initiative. See [Create a Space](/spaces/create-space).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start a canvas">
    Type your intent into the prompt — this creates a canvas from the conversation. See [Create a canvas](/canvas/create-canvas).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve and refine">
    When the AI has enough context, approve the plan to generate your canvas. You can keep refining in chat. See [Approving the plan](/chat/approving-the-plan) and [Editing the canvas](/canvas/editing).
  </Step>
