  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your tools">
    Connect your telemetry, development, and productivity tools. This gives ewake access to alerts, production signals, and deploy history.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Your stack is connected">
    To confirm everything is working, mention `@ewake` in any Slack channel where the bot is present and ask a simple question:

    ```
    @ewake What's the health of [my-service] right now?
    ```

    ```
    @ewake Any anomalies in the last 24 hours?
    ```

    <Check>
      If ewake responds with a structured investigation, your connection is working.
    </Check>

    <Note>
      With just your stack connected, ewake can already answer on-demand questions. These responses are useful, but limited, ewake hasn't been configured to watch for alerts or run scheduled analysis yet. The next step is where it becomes proactive.
    </Note>
