Get started
From zero to your agent handing you decisions in about five minutes.
1. Create your workspace
Sign in to Pileless and you've got a workspace — the home for your piles and the place your agent's decisions land. Under Settings → API keys, mint a workspace key (ak_…); your agent uses it to authenticate.
2. Connect an agent
Wire your agent to Pileless over MCP. Pick your tool:
Then tell the agent when to pile — drop this in its instructions:
When you're about to send, post, publish, refund, deploy, or commit
something — or you have 2+ options for me to choose from — create a
Pileless pile and wait for my decision instead of guessing.3. Bring your own cloud (required to send files)
To send files in a decision, point Pileless at your own Cloudflare R2 bucket. Your documents go straight there and never sit on our infrastructure. Text-only decisions need no bucket, so you can start without this and add it the first time your agent sends a file. Full R2 walkthrough →
4. Clear your first pile
Ask your agent to "create a test pile with three options for me to pick from, and give me the link." Open the link — that's your inbox. Each tile is a decision; act in place:
- Approve / Reject / Use this — right on the tile.
- Pick one / rank — choose or drag the options.
- Add a comment — it travels back to the agent with your decision.
The moment you decide, the agent gets the structured result and carries on.
Working the inbox
- Zoom: Ctrl + scroll to go from a dense list, to cards, to a full-page reader.
- Arrange: by Urgency (default — blocking on top, then fastest→slowest), Sender, or Time. Or drag items into your own order.
- Keyboard: arrow keys move between tiles; act without leaving the keyboard.
- Resize the preview panel by dragging its edge.
