# Quickstart

> Sign in, connect your first provider, and see your costs and first savings recommendations.

Source: https://docs.levelfour.ai/quickstart


> **Tip: Start with one provider**
>
> Connect a single cloud provider first. LevelFour has something to show you within a day of the first sync, and you can add the rest whenever you want.

### Sign in

Open [dashboard.levelfour.ai](https://dashboard.levelfour.ai) and sign in with the email address your organization invited. If your company signs in through an identity provider, [Enterprise SSO](/account/sso) covers how that works.

> **Note: No invitation yet?**
>
> LevelFour sets up each organization before its first sign-in. Write to [contact@levelfour.ai](mailto:contact@levelfour.ai), or ask your LevelFour contact.

### Connect your first provider

Open **Connect Providers** in the dashboard sidebar and pick a provider. Each one connects with a read-only credential you create in that provider's own console. Pick one to start:

- [Amazon Web Services](/connectors/aws)

- [Google Cloud](/connectors/gcp)

- [OpenAI](/connectors/openai)

- [Anthropic](/connectors/anthropic)

- [Snowflake](/connectors/snowflake)

- [Datadog](/connectors/datadog)

[All connectors](/connectors) lists every provider, what LevelFour reads from each, and the ones that are not self-service yet.

### See your costs and first savings

Costs appear on **Boards** and under **Costs and Usage** after the first sync. Savings appear under **Savings** as LevelFour finds them, each with what it saves a month and what would change.

> **Note**
>
> AWS costs arrive within a day of the first sync. Google Cloud billing data takes about two days, because Google delivers the first export rows 24 to 48 hours after you turn the export on.

[Boards](/boards), [Costs and Usage](/cost-and-usage) and [Savings Recommendations](/savings-recommendations) walk through each page.

### Add your team and connect your repositories

An admin or Access Manager invites teammates from **Settings**, then **Members**, and picks the role each person joins with. [Members and roles](/account/members-and-roles) covers what each role can do.

Connect GitHub or GitLab from **Settings**, then **Integrations**, so LevelFour can comment the cost of a change on its pull request and deliver accepted savings as pull requests. See [Integrations](/integrations).

## Next steps

* [Virtual tags](/virtual-tags) group the cost of every provider you connect by team, product, or any other dimension, including cost nobody tagged.
* [Automated Savings](/connectors/aws/automated-savings) lets an accepted saving on AWS apply itself, with access scoped to that change.
* [Implementation methods](/savings-recommendations/implementation-methods) compares delivering a saving as a pull request, as an automated change, or by hand.
* [FinOps Agent](/finops-agent) answers questions about your own spend in plain language.
* Press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows and Linux) anywhere in the dashboard to jump to a page.
* [API Quickstart](/api-quickstart) reads the same data from code.
