### Step 1: Visit faraday.ai

To begin, navigate to [Faraday’s website](https://faraday.ai). This is the official platform where you can sign up and explore our predictive AI solutions.

### Step 2: Click on "Sign up for free button"

Once you're on the homepage, look for the purple, "[sign up for free button](https://login.faraday.ai/u/signup?state=hKFo2SBTU2FQa0dIbmg4QzBfV0kwTDczbXdiVHc5Wm1mOVB5TqFur3VuaXZlcnNhbC1sb2dpbqN0aWTZIHk0S3JUSGlUMExSSFVPejduNDdBQnpFeHBjZVVjN00xo2NpZNkgMDF6SWFodVNaV203SmRVMFNtWmVNUHMzZ2ZHcklqWTI)" button in the top-right corner.

You'll be prompted to enter some basic details, including:

* Your full name  
* Work email address

### Step 4: Verify your email

After submitting your details, you'll receive a verification email. Open your inbox and click the confirmation link to activate your account. If you don’t see the email, check your spam folder or request another verification email.

### Step 5: Log in & get started

Once your email is verified, return to [Faraday’s login page](https://faraday.ai/login), enter your credentials, and start exploring the platform. 

At this point you’ll find yourself on our Dashboard (although all this information can also be accessed through our API).

### Step 6: Add your data

Now that you're in the Faraday app, the next step is to add your customer data. A great starting point is uploading transaction data, which allows you to generate customer-focused predictions. The easiest way to do this is by using a CSV file exported from your data infrastructure. Ideally, this file would include first name, last name, address, and phone number to facilitate matching but give us what you have and we’ll work from there.

Simply upload your file, map the relevant fields, and let Faraday begin building your transaction event stream in the background.
Most users eventually connect directly to their data warehouses or cloud storage for automated data ingestion—learn more about that in our [documentation](https://faraday.ai/docs/how-to/streams/transaction). Once your data is in, you're ready to start making predictions and uncovering valuable insights\!

### Step 7: Explore agents and integrations

Now that you have access to Faraday, take some time to explore how you can apply our powerful predictive models to your business case. Browse our pre-built [templates](https://faraday.ai/templates) (or AI agents) to see how Faraday can help you make smarter decisions with AI-driven insights.

Additionally, check out our wide range of [integrations](https://faraday.ai/integrations) that seamlessly connect with your existing tech stack. Whether you want to add a decisioning layer to your data warehouse (like [Snowflake](https://faraday.ai/integrations/predictions-with-snowflake)) or send predictions directly to your sales and advertising platforms like [Shopify](https://faraday.ai/integrations/predictions-with-shopify) or [Google Ads](https://faraday.ai/integrations/predictions-with-google-ads), Faraday makes it easy to integrate predictive AI into your workflow.
