# Quick Start Guide

**From zero to your first digest in 5 minutes**

***

## Start the Bot

Open the bot and hit Start. Every new account gets a **full month of Pro, free** — no card, no strings. When the month ends you continue on the Free plan, and the projects you track stay active.

## Step 1: Add Your Projects

This is your Smart Portfolio — the heart of Alpha Track. Tell us which projects and tokens you actually care about.

Type a name or ticker (like `arbitrum` or `SOL`) and pick the right match from the list. Your digests will report what the market is saying about each one — same AI processing as everything else, focused on your bags.

* **Pro:** track up to 10 projects
* **Free:** track up to 3

<Note>
  In a hurry? Skip this step and add projects any time with `/projects`.

## Step 2: Add Your Channels

Add the Telegram channels you normally read but don't have time to keep up with.

Three ways to add channels:

**Forward a message** - Just forward any message from a channel you want to track. We'll grab the channel automatically.

**Paste the username** - Send us the channel's @ handle (like @somechannel) or the full t.me link.

**Upload a list** - Have a bunch of channels? Send a .txt file with channel names, one per line.

<Note>
  Custom channels are a paid feature — Pro includes 5, Premium includes 100. Your free Pro month covers you from day one. Everyone also gets our curated market feed, so digests always have signal even with zero channels added.
</Note>

This step is skippable too — manage channels later with `/channels`.

## Step 3: Pick Your Categories

Choose what you actually want to read:

* **Influencer Insights** - Opinions, strategies, forecasts from traders
* **Activities** - Airdrops, testnets, quests, DeFi opportunities
* **Global Market View** - Macro news, regulations, institutional moves
* **Exchange Promos** - Listings, campaigns, trading competitions
* **Summaries** - Multi-topic digests
* **IDO** - Token launches and sales

Pick as many or as few as you want. You can always change this later in settings.

## Step 4: Set Your Digest Schedule

Choose when you want to receive reports. Four time slots:

* ☀️ Morning Brief — 7:00
* 🌤 Midday Check — 13:00
* 🌙 Evening Wrap — 19:00
* 🦉 Late Night — 1:00

Pro lets you pick up to 4 digests per day; Free up to 2. More digests = more frequent updates. Fewer = longer digests with more content each.

***

## You're Done

You'll see a preview digest right away so you know what's coming, and your first real digest arrives at your next scheduled slot. Spam is already filtered out, and every insight links to the original message so you can dig deeper when needed.

On paid plans, every message also carries an Alpha Agents tag — ✅ fact, 🤔 opinion, 💨 hype — so you know what you're reading before you read it.

***

## Commands Cheat Sheet

* `/menu` — main menu, everything lives here
* `/portfolio` — your channels and tracked projects in one view
* `/projects` — add or remove tracked projects
* `/channels` — manage your channels
* `/settings` — categories, schedule, language

The bot speaks **English, Russian, Ukrainian, and Spanish** — it picks up your Telegram language automatically, and you can change it in settings.

## Tips

<Tip>
  **Add the projects you hold first.** The fastest way to feel the value is seeing what the market says about your own bags.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  **Don't pick all categories.** The point is to filter. If you select everything, you're back to information overload.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  **Give it a few days.** The first digest might feel light if the market was quiet on your projects. After a few cycles you'll see the pattern.
</Tip>
