# Register Your First Agent

Agents are AI systems that connect to Permission Slip to request approval before taking actions. Here's how to get one registered.

## Generate an Invite

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the dashboard">
    From your dashboard, find the **Registered Agents** card and click **Add an Agent**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate invite instructions">
    Click **Generate Invite Instructions**. Permission Slip creates a single-use invite that expires in 15 minutes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Share with your agent">
    Copy the registration instructions and send them to your AI agent. The instructions contain everything the agent needs to register: the API endpoint, invite code, and authentication details.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What Happens Next

1. **The agent registers** — it calls the Permission Slip API with its public key and the invite code.
2. **You see it as "Pending"** — the agent appears in your Registered Agents list with a pending status and a confirmation code.
3. **Share the confirmation code** — click **Review** on the pending agent to see the confirmation code and verification instructions. Copy and send these to the agent.
4. **The agent verifies** — once the agent submits the confirmation code, its status changes to **Registered** and it's ready to submit approval requests.

<Info>
  Invites are single-use and expire in 15 minutes. If one expires, just generate a new one.

## After Registration

Your agent is now connected. The next step is to enable connectors so the agent knows what actions it can request.
