<Card title="Day 1 challenge" icon="rocket">
11+
**Goal**: explore Sidekick's core capabilities and configure your agent
12+
13+
**Theme**: foundation week - getting started with agents
14+
15+
**Time investment**: ~10 minutes
16+
17+
</Card>
18+
19+
Welcome to your first day with Hypermode Agents! Today you'll get familiar with
20+
**Sidekick**, your AI-powered agent platform that goes far beyond simple chat.
21+
You'll explore its search capabilities, learn to configure your agent, and
22+
understand what makes agents different from traditional AI assistants.
23+
24+
Sidekick isn't just another chatbot—it's an intelligent agent that can search
25+
the web, research people and companies, and integrate with your tools to take
26+
real actions.
27+
28+
## What you'll accomplish today
29+
30+
- Explore Sidekick's interface and understand agent vs. chat differences
31+
- Test web search capabilities with real-time information
32+
- Try LinkedIn and professional research features
33+
- Configure your agent settings for optimal performance
34+
- Experience your first agent interaction
35+
36+
<Warning>
37+
This is **not** just another AI chat interface. Sidekick is designed to act on
38+
your behalf, search for current information, and integrate with real tools.
39+
You'll see the difference immediately.
40+
</Warning>
41+
42+
## Step 1: explore the Sidekick interface
43+
44+
When you first open Sidekick, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the
45+
interface. Notice the key elements that make this different from standard AI
46+
chat:
47+
48+
**Key interface elements:**
49+
50+
- **Chat area**: Where you interact with Sidekick naturally
51+
- **Sidebar connections**: Available integrations and tools
52+
- **Model indicator**: Shows you're using GPT-4.1 (available exclusively for
53+
Sidekick)
54+
- **Search indicators**: Visual cues when Sidekick is searching or taking
55+
actions
56+
57+
![Sidekick Interface Tour - Placeholder](/images/agents/30-days-of-agents/day1-interface-tour.png)
58+
59+
**Start with a simple greeting:**
60+
61+
```text
62+
Hello Sidekick! I'm starting the 30 Days of Agents program.
63+
Can you tell me what makes you different from other AI assistants?
64+
```
65+
66+
Notice how Sidekick explains its capabilities and agent-like features.
67+
68+
<Tip>
69+
**Agent learning moment** Sidekick can take real actions, not just provide
70+
suggestions. This fundamental difference shapes how you interact with it.
71+
</Tip>
72+
73+
## Step 2: test web search capabilities
74+
75+
One of Sidekick's core strengths is real-time web search. Let's test this with
76+
current information:
77+
78+
**Try this search request:**
79+
80+
```text
81+
Can you search for the latest news about AI developments this week?
82+
I'm particularly interested in any major announcements or breakthroughs.
83+
```
84+
85+
![Web Search Demo - Placeholder](/images/agents/30-days-of-agents/day1-web-search.png)
86+
87+
Watch how Sidekick:
88+
89+
- Automatically searches current web sources
90+
- Synthesizes information from multiple results
91+
- Provides recent, relevant findings
92+
- Cites sources for verification
93+
94+
**Try another search:**
95+
96+
```text
97+
What are the current stock market trends today?
98+
Focus on technology companies and any market-moving news.
99+
```
100+
101+
Notice how Sidekick retrieves real-time information and presents it in a
102+
structured, actionable format.
103+
104+
## Step 3: explore LinkedIn and professional research
105+
106+
Sidekick excels at professional research. Let's test its ability to find and
107+
analyze professional information:
108+
109+
**Try this LinkedIn-style research:**
110+
111+
```text
112+
Can you research Reid Hoffman, the founder of LinkedIn?
113+
I'd like to know about his current activities, recent posts or articles, and any speaking engagements or interviews.
114+
```
115+
116+
![LinkedIn Research Demo - Placeholder](/images/agents/30-days-of-agents/day1-linkedin-research.png)
117+
118+
Sidekick can:
119+
120+
- Search for current professional information
121+
- Find recent articles, interviews, or posts
122+
- Provide context about current business activities
123+
- Organize information for professional networking purposes
124+
125+
**Try company research:**
126+
127+
```text
128+
I'm interested in learning about Anthropic's recent developments.
129+
Can you research their latest product announcements, funding news, and key executives?
130+
```
131+
132+
<Tip>
133+
**Pro insight** Sidekick's research goes beyond basic Google searches. It
134+
synthesizes professional context that's actually useful for business
135+
relationships and decision-making.
136+
</Tip>
137+
138+
## Step 4: configure your agent settings
139+
140+

143+
alt="Agent Configuration - Placeholder"
144+
/>
145+
146+
### Model selection
147+
148+
Sidekick uses GPT-4.1 as its core model, providing you with cutting-edge AI
149+
capabilities specifically optimized for agent interactions. For information
150+
about all available models across the Hypermode platform, visit our
151+
[model documentation](https://docs.hypermode.com/model-router#available-models).
152+
153+
### Sidebar configuration
154+
155+
Explore the **connections panel** in your sidebar:
156+
157+
- Review available integrations
158+
- Note which connections are ready to use
159+
- Identify which tools you might want to connect later
160+
161+
## What just happened?
162+
163+
In just 10 minutes, you've discovered what makes Sidekick different:
164+
165+
**Real-time intelligence** - Sidekick searches current information, not just
166+
pre-trained knowledge
167+
168+
**Professional research capabilities** - Can research people, companies, and
169+
industry trends with business context
170+
171+
**Optimized AI model** - Uses GPT-4.1 specifically configured for agent
172+
interactions and real-world tasks
173+
174+
**Agent behavior** - Takes actions and provides solutions, not just answers
175+
176+
**Integration ready** - Prepared to connect with your tools and workflows
177+
178+
## The power of agent interaction
179+
180+
Unlike traditional AI chat interfaces, Sidekick is designed for ongoing
181+
collaboration. It learns your preferences, takes real actions, and provides
182+
current information. This foundation enables everything you'll learn in the
183+
remaining 29 days.

Welcome to Day 2! Yesterday you explored Sidekick's interface and search
19+
capabilities. Today you'll get Sidekick to work on real productivity
20+
tasks—researching contacts for meetings, connecting your Google Calendar, and
21+
experiencing how agents handle actual work scenarios.
22+
23+
Building on yesterday's foundation, you'll see how agent capabilities translate
24+
into immediate productivity gains.
25+
26+
![Sidekick Interface - Placeholder](/images/agents/30-days-of-agents/sidekick-about.png)
27+
28+
## What you'll accomplish today
29+
30+
- Research a contact for an upcoming meeting
31+
- Connect your Google Calendar
32+
- Create a calendar event through conversation
33+
- Experience how agents think and respond to real work tasks
34+
35+
<Warning>
36+
This builds on yesterday's introduction. You'll now see Sidekick in action
37+
with real productivity scenarios, not just exploration.
38+
</Warning>
39+
40+
## Step 1: research your contact
41+
42+
Let's start with a classic scenario: you have a meeting with someone, and you
43+
want to be prepared. We'll use Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, as our example.
44+
45+
**Start a new conversation with Sidekick** and try this prompt:
46+
47+
```text
48+
I am meeting with Sam Altman from OpenAI tomorrow.
49+
Can you research him and prepare some notes for me?
50+
```
51+
52+
![Sidekick Research - Placeholder](/images/agents/30-days-of-agents/day2-research.png)
53+
54+
Watch how Sidekick:
55+
56+
- Searches for current information about Sam Altman (building on yesterday's web
57+
search learning)
58+
- Organizes findings into actionable meeting notes
59+
- Provides context that's actually useful for conversation
60+
- Includes recent developments and OpenAI updates
61+
62+
<Tip>
63+
**Agent learning moment**: notice how Sidekick structures information for
64+
practical use, not just information dump. This is the difference between
65+
search and intelligence.
66+
</Tip>
67+
68+
## Step 2: connect Google calendar
69+
70+
Now let's connect your Google Calendar so Sidekick can manage your schedule.
71+
72+
1. **Add the Google Calendar connection** from the connections panel
73+
2. **Complete the OAuth flow** when prompted
74+
3. **Confirm connection** in your workspace settings
75+
76+
![Google Calendar Connection - Placeholder](/images/agents/30-days-of-agents/day2-calendar-connect.png)
77+
78+
<Info>
79+
Google Calendar is already configured in Sidekick. Want access to 2,000+ more
80+
connections? [Upgrade to Hypermode Pro](/agents/connections).
81+
</Info>
82+
83+
## Step 3: create your meeting
84+
85+
With your calendar connected, let's schedule that meeting with Sam Altman:
86+
87+
```text
88+
Create an event tomorrow at 2pm PT for my meeting with Sam Altman.
89+
Title it "Meeting with Sam Altman - OpenAI Discussion" and add the research notes you prepared as the description.
90+
Since we don't have Sam's actual email, please use [YOUR_EMAIL_HERE] as a placeholder for the attendee.
91+
```
92+
93+
![Calendar Event Creation - Placeholder](/images/agents/30-days-of-agents/day2-create-event.png)
94+
95+
Sidekick:
96+
97+
- Creates the calendar event at the specified time
98+
- Includes your research notes in the description
99+
- Confirms the meeting details
100+
101+
## What just happened?
102+
103+
Building on yesterday's exploration, you've now experienced practical agent
104+
productivity:
105+
106+
**Applied intelligence** - Sidekick didn't just search—it prepared actionable
107+
meeting notes with current information about Sam Altman and OpenAI
108+
109+
**Real integration** - Connected to your actual tools (Google Calendar)
110+
111+
**Seamless action** - Created the calendar event with research included, not
112+
just provide suggestions
113+
114+
**Natural workflow** - All through conversation, no forms or complex interfaces
115+
116+
**Current information** - Used web search (from yesterday's learning) to get the
117+
latest information about your contact
118+
119+
## The power of integrated workflow
120+
121+
Unlike yesterday's exploratory interactions, today you've seen how Sidekick
122+
connects multiple capabilities—research, calendar integration, and intelligent
123+
action—into seamless workflows that mirror how you actually work.
124+
125+

131+
morning stand-up updates based on your calendar.
132+
</Card>
133+
134+
## Pro tip for today
135+
136+
Before tomorrow's session, try asking Sidekick:
137+
138+
```text
139+
What did you learn about my work style and preferences from our interactions yesterday and today?
140+
```
141+
142+
This begins training Sidekick to understand your specific needs and
143+
communication style across multiple sessions.
144+
145+
---
146+
147+
**Time to complete**: ~10 minutes
148+
149+
**Skills learned**: practical agent research, calendar integration, workflow
150+
automation, real-world task delegation
151+
152+
**Next** day 3 - Morning stand-up automation with calendar intelligence
153+
154+
<Tip>
155+
**Remember** you're not just using a tool—you're training an assistant. Every
156+
interaction teaches Sidekick more about how you work, building on the
157+
foundation from Day 1.
158+
