# Quick start

> Configure Coreply and get your first AI-powered suggestion in under 5 minutes.

<Tip>
  The fastest way to get started is Coreply Cloud — no API account needed. You sign up, copy an access key, and you're done. If you prefer to use your own provider, follow the OpenAI-compatible path in step 2.
</Tip>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Coreply">
    Launch Coreply from your app drawer after [installing it](/installation). The main screen shows the service toggle and your current provider settings.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure your AI provider">
    Scroll to **Custom API Settings** in the app and fill in three fields:

    | Field          | Description                                                                               |
    | -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | **Base URL**   | The OpenAI-compatible endpoint for your provider (e.g. `https://api.groq.com/openai/v1/`) |
    | **API Key**    | Your provider API key                                                                     |
    | **Model Name** | The model identifier to use (e.g. `gemini-2.0-flash`, `llama-3.3-70b-versatile`)          |

    **Using Coreply Cloud (recommended for new users):** Sign up at [coreply.up.nadles.com](https://coreply.up.nadles.com/), copy your access key, and paste it into the **API Key** field. Leave the Base URL and Model Name at their defaults unless the dashboard instructs otherwise.

    See [AI providers](/providers/overview) for per-provider setup guides including exact URLs and recommended models.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable the Coreply service">
    Toggle the master switch in the app to **On**.

    Android will prompt you to grant the **accessibility permission**. Tap **Allow** and enable Coreply in the Accessibility settings screen.

    <Note>
      The accessibility permission is required. Coreply uses it to read on-screen conversation text and position the suggestion overlay above the keyboard. Without this permission, no suggestions will appear.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open a supported messaging app and start typing">
    Open WhatsApp, Signal, Instagram, Telegram, or any other [supported app](/supported-apps) and navigate to a conversation. Begin typing a message — the Coreply suggestion overlay will appear after a brief pause.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Interact with suggestions">
    * **Single tap** a suggestion to insert the next word into your message.
    * **Long press** a suggestion to insert the full suggested text at once.

    Suggestions update continuously as you type, so you can keep typing and a new suggestion will follow.
