# The CEO

> How you stay the CEO in StellarFirm: the CEO assistant, routing, approvals, house rules, and copyable prompts for common goals.

You are the CEO. The **CEO assistant** works for you: it reads what you ask for, briefs the right assistant, and reports back. This section explains how that works and how you stay in control.

## Mission brief

| You decide | The CEO assistant handles |
| --- | --- |
| What the goal is | Turning it into a clear brief |
| Which risky steps go ahead | Bringing each one to Approvals |
| The house rules | Following them when it picks and briefs assistants |
| Whether the result is good enough | Reporting back with links and a summary |

## In this section

## Where to start

1. If this is your first visit, run the [first goal](/docs/getting-started/first-goal) walk-through.
2. Read [approvals](/docs/ceo/approvals) so you know what to expect when a request appears.
3. Write down your [house rules](/docs/ceo/house-rules), even if it is only three lines.
4. Keep the [prompt guide](/docs/ceo/prompt-guide) open while you work.

> [!NOTE]
> Every assistant is available: the Coder, Product owner, Marketing, Accountant, Legal, Sales, Executive assistant, Support, and the rest. The CEO assistant hands each job to the one that fits it.
