# Hookshot for Customers

Hookshot helps your team connect company tools, watch for live events, and run AI-powered automations called **Proteges**.

A Protege is a workflow you describe in plain language:

1. What starts it
2. What it decides
3. What it produces

Hookshot then helps you connect the right integrations, validate trigger and tool access, and verify what happened in the **Event Feed** and **Audit** views.

## How Hookshot Fits Together

1. You connect an integration.
2. You create a Protege.
3. You confirm trigger access and tool access.
4. Hookshot receives an event or schedule tick.
5. The Protege runs or is skipped.
6. You verify the result in Event Feed and Audit.

**Tip:** If you are new to Hookshot, start with the power-user quickstart even if you are technical. It gives you the fastest path to a working mental model.
