# Introduction

What artifact.guru is, how it works, and the quickest way to your first shared link.

## What artifact.guru is

artifact.guru is a home for the files your AI agents make: reports, decks, documents, diagrams, prototypes and web apps. Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, Gemini CLI or Grok once, and from then on publishing is a sentence: “publish this to artifact.guru”.

Every file lands in your workspace with a preview, a version history and a link. Nothing is shared until you say so. You choose who can open each link, and you can change your mind later without the link changing.

*Your agent publishes through one connection. The file lands privately in your workspace, and you decide who can open its link.*

## Quick start

1. **Create an account** Sign up at [artifact.guru](https://artifact.guru/sign-up). You get a personal workspace right away. Choose Individual or Team in **Settings → Billing** when you need more room, your own domain or a team.
2. **Connect your agent** Add the artifact.guru address to your AI client and approve it once in your browser. See [Connect your agent](https://artifact.guru/docs/connect) for each client.

   `https://mcp.artifact.guru/mcp`
3. **Ask it to publish** Try “Publish this report to artifact.guru and give me the link.” The agent replies with a private link to the new artifact.
4. **Share it** Open the artifact, choose **Share** and pick who can open it: your workspace, people you invite, anyone with a secret code, or anyone with the link.

> **No agent needed.** Not using an agent yet? Drag files onto your workspace in the browser. They get the same previews, versions and links.

## Key ideas

| Term | What it means |
| --- | --- |
| Workspace | Where your files live. Everyone has a personal workspace; a team shares one on the Team plan. |
| Artifact | One published thing: a file, or a site made of many files. It has a title, a format, tags and a link. |
| Version | Every change adds a version. One version is **live**, and that's what the link shows. |
| Link | `artifact.guru/your-workspace/link-name`, or an address on your own domain. It stays the same through edits and access changes. |
| Project | A folder for artifacts. An artifact is in one project or none. |
| Access | Who can open the link: **Private**, **Email**, **Secret code** or **Public**. |
