Getting Started
Black Box is a web app where a CEO agent takes your goals in plain English and routes them to a team of specialists who ship real outcomes — pages deployed, newsletters sent, inboxes cleared. This section takes you from sign-up to your first shipped outcome.
What you'll learn
- How to sign in and complete the onboarding interview.
- What to expect from your first 30 days.
- How to give work to your CEO and review results.
- How the UI works — cards, briefs, approvals.
- Where to go next: Skills, playbooks, the glossary.
The five-minute tour
Black Box works like a company, not a chatbot. You have a CEO agent who reports to you. The CEO delegates to specialists — marketing, engineering, sales, design, operations. You hand over outcomes ("ship the newsletter"), not tasks ("write an email, then copy it, then paste it into Mailchimp"). The team surfaces decisions only when they need you. Everything else moves on its own.
The magic moment comes fast. From the first time you sign in to a live landing page on the public internet is about seven minutes. You need a Google account, nothing else.
