Your first jobs

Your PC is paired and your AI app is connected. Now try a few small jobs. They show you how Ponta works, and nothing important changes.

Start a new chat in your AI app. Then type each ask below, or say it in your own words.

1. Check your AI app can see your PC. Ask: "Which of my PCs can you reach through Ponta?" It should name the PC you paired and say it is online. This check never counts towards your plan.
2. Look at some files. Ask: "List the files in my Downloads folder, newest first." Your AI app only looks. Nothing on your PC changes.
3. Read a document. Ask: "Open the newest PDF in my Downloads folder and tell me what it says in three lines."
4. Make a small change. Ask: "Make a folder called Ponta test on my desktop, with a note in it that says hello." Then look on your desktop.
5. Use the web. Ask: "Use Ponta's browser to open gov.uk and find the next UK bank holiday." Ponta's own Chrome opens on your PC, so you can watch it work.

What you will notice

• Each result says which PC did the work.
• If a step needs your yes, Ponta asks you first. See answer an approval request.
• On the Free plan, each use of a tool is one action. You get 300 a month. See plans and what they include.

If something goes wrong

• Your AI app says it has no Ponta tools. See connect your AI app.
• It says your PC is offline. See a PC shows as offline.
• A job says it is still running. See long jobs.
