<p>Lookout is most useful when it is connected to the systems your team already uses. Each integration plugs a real tool into the agent. Connect a warehouse and the agent can query it; connect a repository and it can read it.</p>

<h2 id="where-to-start">Where to start</h2><p>Your <strong>RudderStack workspace</strong> is linked when you create the Lookout workspace, so the first thing to add is a <strong>warehouse</strong> — it is what lets the agent answer questions about your data and build audiences from it.</p>
<p>From there, add integrations as your team needs them:</p>
<ul>
<li>Add <strong>GitHub</strong> under <strong>Connections</strong> &gt; <strong>Source Control</strong> if you want the agent to read code for context, then link repositories to a warehouse so the agent knows which code describes which data</li>
<li>Install <strong>Slack</strong> to bring the agent into the channels where your team already works</li>
</ul>
