# Answer the first questions (`admin_save_setup`)

Saves the answers to the first questions: the AI the business uses, the jobs to hand over, the systems it runs and its size.

The answers the account page asks a person who makes an account: which AI they use (ai), the jobs to hand over (jobs), the systems they already run (uses) and the business's size (size). The page and the other agents read them to set things up. Only the questions you send change; done marks the setup finished.

Price: Free. A call that fails costs nothing.

## Use it when

The agent set the account up itself and knows the answers the account page would ask a person.

## Say this to your agent

> We use ChatGPT, Google Workspace, Shopify and a phone line, and we're seven people. Note that on the account.

## Errors

| Code | Status | When | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| `invalid_input` | 400 | A question or an answer is not one the account page knows. | Use ai, jobs, uses and size, each with the answers input_schema lists for it. |
| `owner_required` | 403 | The key is not one that runs the account: it works for one team, has limits, or is a member's assistant. | Use a key of the company-wide team without limits, or ask the owner (account_owner_link). |

The refusals every tool can give (401 key, 402 balance, 429 limits) are on the errors page: https://conecto.chat/docs/errors.md
