name: get-started description: First-run setup for Silicon Valley Atlas. Use right after the plugin is installed, or when someone asks how to start with SV Atlas, what it can do, or how to build their first prospect list.

Get started with Silicon Valley Atlas

The hosted SV Atlas MCP server at https://svatlas.io/mcp must be connected and signed in with the person's Atlas Google account. If a tool call says sign-in is required, tell them to finish connecting SV Atlas and stop; never ask for a password or token in chat, and do not invent results.

Keep the whole setup to three short turns.

1. Say in one sentence what Atlas is: a sourced map of AI startups, their founders, funding, and investors, where every fact links to its source. Then ask one question: "What do you sell? Paste your product's website, or describe who you want to reach."
2. With a URL, call match_companies_by_website. With a description, call search_companies. Show the result as it renders (in ChatGPT, the Atlas cards), state the ideal-customer profile in one sentence if there is one, and name the three strongest fits with the reason each fits.
3. Offer to save them: "Want these on a list?" Only on a yes, call create_list with a name the person agrees to, then add_to_list with the slugs they chose, and say how many were added.

Close with where to find things next time. In ChatGPT, Atlas has its own entry in the sidebar (search, lists, and company profiles), and My lists can be opened as a tab beside any conversation. Selecting companies there attaches them to the chat. Everything also lives at https://svatlas.io.

Search and product matching count toward the account's monthly limit; reading profiles and lists does not. If a call reports the monthly limit, say so plainly and continue with what does not need it.
