## Getting started

How long does deployment take?

Most organisations see their first assistant live within weeks, not months. The speed depends on how much content you're bringing in and how you want to integrate with your existing systems — you can start small and expand at your own pace.

Do I need a technical team to set it up?

No. ReadyIntelligence is configured rather than coded: connecting content, tuning an assistant's tone and setting permissions are all done through the platform. Our team supports you through onboarding, and web components can be embedded with a single snippet when you're ready to extend the assistant across your site.

Which single sign-on options does ReadyIntelligence support?

Two. With OpenID Connect, people sign in through your own identity provider, such as Microsoft Entra ID or Okta, after you register ReadyIntelligence as an application with it. Or your website can pass the assistant a signed token (JWT) for the person already signed in, which ReadyIntelligence verifies before trusting it.

Either way, details your identity provider holds, such as groups or membership type, can decide what each person is allowed to see.
