Your First Session

Welcome to Sequa. Your organization is configured, your first product is connected, and initial indexing is complete. You are ready to get immediate, accurate answers from your software ecosystem.

If you still need to set up your account, please see our guides:

• Create Your Organization
• Create a Product & Connect Sources

This guide outlines three key ways to get instant value from Sequa.

1. Ask a Question in Chat

The most direct way to experience Sequa is to ask a question. The chat interface is your entry point for exploring your codebase, understanding complex logic, and finding specific implementations without manually searching.

Start with a question you’ve recently had about your systems.

Examples of good first questions:

• Where is our user authentication logic handled?
• Show me the code for the 'api' service's primary database connection.
• What are the database models related to billing and subscriptions?

Sequa will analyze your codebase and connected documentation to provide a synthesized answer, complete with code snippets and links to the original sources.

This conversational approach is ideal for on-the-fly exploration and problem-solving. Learn more in our guide to Working with Sequa Chat: Overview.

2. Create a Self-Maintaining Document

Next, capture and share knowledge by creating a Live Doc. Live Docs are AI-generated documents that automatically stay up-to-date with your codebase, solving the problem of stale documentation.

Choose a core component or workflow to document.

1. Navigate to the Live Docs section of your product.
2. Click Create Page.
3. Give the page a clear title (e.g., “API Authentication Flow”).
4. In the editor, write a simple prompt describing the document’s goal. For example: Explain how a user signs up, logs in, and how their session is managed. Include the main services and database models involved.

Sequa will generate a detailed document that serves as a robust starting point. Your team can then edit and refine it, confident that the core information will not become outdated as your code evolves.

3. Connect Your IDE with Sequa MCP

Finally, bring Sequa’s knowledge directly into your local development environment using the Sequa Model Context Protocol (MCP). This solves the context-switching problem by providing answers and code intelligence inside your editor.

Setting up MCP allows any connected tool, from your IDE’s AI assistant to a custom script, to query your Sequa knowledge base. This brings answers directly to where you write code.

For setup instructions and use cases, see the Sequa MCP Overview.
