# Quick Start

> Get up and running with Antimetal

## Prerequisites

* You have connected all your [integrations](/integrations/overview).

## Search with Antimetal

You can ask Antimetal broad questions related to your infrastructure and architecture. Antimetal will leverage the rich understanding it has about your system to give you an answer.

## Investigate an Issue

In order for a new issue to show up on the issues page, kick off an investigation against an alert in [Slack](/integrations/slack).

### Live View

As the investigation is on-going, you will be presented with Antimetal's live chain of thought, giving you clear insight into its reasoning.

The inputs and outputs to all tool calls are directly accessible, enabling you to understand exactly what data Antimetal is pulling in.

### Answers

Once the investigation is complete, you will be directed to the Answers tab, where you will be given clear insight into what happened, the root cause (with an Antimetal confidence score) and a Causal Graph, to highlight the reasoning pathway that Antimetal took to arrive at its conclusion.

Antimetal also presents findings, which directly support its root cause diagnosis. Once again, these findings are completely auditable. They represent the data deemed most relevant to the root cause, and is only a small portion of the data that Antimetal looked over.

### Fixes

The fixes tab contains remediations proposed by Antimetal to address the root cause.

Each fix contains a detailed explanation, as well the ability to copy it as a prompt or open it in your IDE.
