Getting Started

Quick Start

Get started with EpicContext. Request a demo, set up your organization, and start building product context for your team and AI agents.

This guide walks you through getting access to EpicContext, setting up your first project, and exporting context for AI agents.

Getting Access

EpicContext is an invite-only platform. There are two ways to get started:

Request a Demo

If your organization doesn't have an account yet, request a demo from our homepage. We'll set up your organization and walk you through the platform.

After your demo, your organization admin will invite you and your team members directly. There is no self-service sign-up.

Accept an Invite

If someone in your organization already has EpicContext set up, they can invite you:

  1. You'll receive an email invite from your organization admin
  2. Click the invite link
  3. Create your account with your email and password
  4. You're in — you'll see all projects your organization has access to

Step 1: Create a Project

Once you're inside your organization, create a project for the product you want to document.

  1. Click New Project
  2. Enter the project name and an optional description
  3. Click Create Project

EpicContext automatically creates default sections for your project:

SectionWhat Goes Here
BrandVisual identity, tone of voice, messaging
ProductFeatures, strategy, product overview
UsersPersonas, jobs to be done
TechnicalTech stack, architecture, API specs
DevelopmentEpics, user stories, tasks
DecisionsArchitecture decision records

Step 2: Fill in Your Context

Navigate to any section and start adding blocks. Each block has a specific type with defined fields.

For example, in the Users section:

  1. Click Add Block
  2. Choose Persona
  3. Fill in the name, description, goals, pain points, and behaviors

Start with the essentials

You don't need to fill in everything at once. Start with Brand, Product Overview, and your primary User Persona. The progress tracker shows what's complete.

Step 3: Export for AI Agents

Once you have some context filled in, export it for your AI tools:

Connect your AI coding agent directly to EpicContext using the MCP server. See the AI Coding Agents guide for step-by-step setup.

Option B: CONTEXT Folder

  1. Go to Settings > Export/Import
  2. Click Export to CONTEXT Folder
  3. Place the exported CONTEXT/ folder in your project root
  4. Your AI agent reads CONTEXT/AI-GUIDE.md automatically

Option C: API

Use the REST API to fetch context programmatically:

curl -H "X-API-Key: your-api-key" \
  https://epiccontext.com/api/v1/projects/YOUR_PROJECT_ID/export
