See when it starts, what Ted does in it, the directions he asks you to pick, and what comes next. Every new [foundable](/help/glossary#foundable) gets one free run. Foundable pays for it, so it uses none of your [credits](/help/glossary#credit). Ted works through it on his own while you watch, and you pick where he goes next. It starts when you start building your first website. That’s when you press **Start build** on the plan Ted wrote with you, or pick **Surprise me** so Ted starts building for you. You can follow it on [Home](/get-started/home), under Ted’s line, or in **Run**. Ted at work during the free run: Ted asks where to go next, with a direction card to explore or skip, and his activity listed below. ## What Ted does in your first run Ted looks up businesses like yours and saves a short competitor snapshot. It appears under **From Ted** on Home. Ted writes one email to someone whose reply could move your business forward. It waits for your OK under **From Ted** and in your [Inbox](/inbox/overview)’s **Drafts**. Nothing is sent unless you approve it. Ted shows you ideas for bigger work, one card at a time: a spreadsheet, a slide deck or a new page for your website. Press **Explore this** or **Not now**. Each idea you explore becomes real work. Each thing he makes from your choices is marked “From your direction” under **From Ted**. When the run is over, his report opens: “What Ted has done so far”. See [When it ends](#when-it-ends). To approve the email or anything else Ted drafts, see [Approve Ted’s work](/ted/approvals). ## Pick where Ted goes next Once the snapshot and the email are done, Ted asks you about one direction at a time. The same card shows on Home, above Ted’s activity, and in Run, under **Ted needs you**. Each card says what exploring it makes, the direction in a few words, and Ted’s reason. * **Explore this**: Ted works on it next. * **Not now**: Ted sets it aside and shows you another idea of the same kind, if he has one. On Home, you can also drag the card: right to explore it, left to set it aside. When the card is selected, the right and left arrow keys do the same. While a direction waits for your answer, the run waits too. Ted’s line says “Pick where I go next, and I’ll get started.” He waits as long as it takes, and your answer starts his next step right away. Only the owner can answer a direction. Everyone else in your foundable sees the card. | You explore | Ted makes | | - | - | | A spreadsheet | A workbook or table, saved with your files | | A slide deck | A deck in your business’s brand | | Your website | One new page on your website, saved but not published | Ted asks about the website last, so a website that’s still building has time to finish. If you turn down every idea, the run ends after the snapshot and the email. ### The new page on your website A website direction adds one new page to your website. Ted saves it without publishing it, and it reads “New page” under **From Ted**. Visitors see it only after you [publish your website](/build/publish). To take it back out, go back to an earlier version in [Version history](/build/version-history). ## What the first run won’t do * **It can’t be paused or stopped.** Run’s card shows no **Pause** or **Stop** while it works. * **It sends and publishes nothing by itself.** The email waits for your OK, and the new page waits for you to publish it. * **It asks you nothing but directions.** Ted asks questions only in the runs you start yourself. * **It has no settings.** While it works, Run’s card has no settings, and Run’s boxes and tools open the plans you can choose. * **It happens once.** Each foundable gets one first run, and it never starts again. ## When it ends Ted’s line on Home says “Here’s what I’ve done so far!”. His report, “What Ted has done so far”, opens by itself once, on whatever page you’re on. It shows what the run made. Then it shows what setting up your foundable made: your business plan, your logo and your business email, each with a line from Ted. To read it again, find its row under **From Ted**. Beside Ted’s line, the owner sees **Keep Ted working**. It opens the plans when you can choose one, and goes on to Run once you’re on a plan. Otherwise it opens Run, where you can [start a run of your own](/run/overview#start-run). ## What you’ll see | What you see | What it means | What to do | | - | - | - | | “Free run” | Your first run is working. | Follow along on Home or in Run. | | “Pick where I go next, and I’ll get started.” | A direction waits for you, and the run is waiting. | Press **Explore this** or **Not now**. | | “Your answer didn’t reach Ted. Try again.” | Your answer to a card didn’t go through. | Answer the card again. | | “From your direction” | Ted made this from a direction you explored. | Open it under **From Ted**. | | “New page” | Ted added a page to your website. It isn’t published. | Look at it in [Build](/build/overview), then publish when you’re ready. | | “Ted finishes this on his own.” | The first run can’t be paused or stopped. | Nothing. It ends on its own. | | “Here’s what I’ve done so far!” | The first run is over. | Read the report, or press **Keep Ted working**. | ## FAQ It starts when you start building your first website, such as when you press **Start build**. Saving a plan with Ted isn’t enough by itself. Once the build starts, the first run starts too. No. Foundable pays for it. Runs you start yourself afterwards use your credits. See [Plans and credits](/account/plans-and-credits). No. The outreach email waits for your OK. If you approve it, it’s sent from your foundable’s email address. If you decline it, nothing is sent. The run waits for you, however long that takes. Answer when you’re ready, on Home or in Run. No. It runs its course and ends on its own. The runs you start yourself can be paused and stopped. See [Pause, resume or stop](/run/overview#pause-resume-or-stop). Press **Keep Ted working** to see the plans, or open Run and press **Start Run** to start a run of your own. See [Run: Ted runs your business](/run/overview). ## Related Start your own runs and follow what Ted does. Review the email and anything else Ted drafts. Put the new page Ted made online.
