# Getting Started

Use Ignite to create a team-owned presence for your ministry or organization, then decide how your resources should appear across Apologist Social and Apologist Agent.

## Setup flow

#### Create a team

Sign up for Apologist Ignite and create a team. The team owns the listings and content added under it, and team owners can invite collaborators.

#### Add Apologist Social listings

Add contributors, resources, and an organization profile where applicable. New listings are reviewed before publication.

#### Claim existing listings

If listings for your ministry, contributors, or resources already exist, request ownership transfer to your team.

#### Choose corpus participation

Optionally contribute approved materials for Apologist Agent to retrieve and cite. You can disable a contributed source later to remove it from use.

## Important model behavior

Apologist Ignite is described as a retrieval-based system for contributed materials. The product page states that contributed materials are not used to train the model. Instead, relevant approved sources are retrieved at response time so Agent can ground its answers in cited material.

## Source

This setup flow is based on the public Apologist Ignite product page.
