## Quick Setup Guide

![Using Strata Server in Continue Chat](https://mintcdn.com/klavisai/UFlJ5hKmJTLIur_F/images/knowledge-base/continue/step9.jpg?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=UFlJ5hKmJTLIur_F\&q=85\&s=346511b142bdfa1c4a0403e9ba0f1e91)

Open Continue Chat (`Cmd/Ctrl + L`) and start using natural language:

```text GitHub theme={null}
"Create a new issue titled 'Add dark mode' with priority label"
```

```text Slack theme={null}
"Send a message to #general: 'Standup meeting in 5 minutes!'"
```

```text Gmail theme={null}
"Send email to john@company.com about project update"
```

```text Notion theme={null}
"Create a new page called 'Meeting Notes' with today's date"
```

> [!TIP]
>
> 🎯 Continue Chat automatically detects when to use **Strata** based on context - no need to specify explicitly!

**6. Happy Building! 🎉**

You're all set! Your **Strata** is now integrated with Continue in VS Code IDE.
