Create a Watson account and a workspace for your agency. Signup is open during the Open Beta. You do not need a waitlist invitation or an access code.
Create an account and workspace
- Open the Studio sign-up page from Join the Open Beta on the Watson website.
- Enter your account details and choose a password.
- Accept the Terms of Service and the Early Access Terms shown during the beta.
- Submit the form, then enter the verification code sent to your email address.
- Choose Get started free for Community or Choose Studio for a paid plan. For Studio, choose monthly or annual billing.
- Enter a workspace name and an available workspace URL.
- Continue to your workspace. If you chose Studio, complete Checkout first.
For example, name your agency workspace Northstar Design and choose an available URL based on that name. Community opens without a Studio subscription. Studio activates after payment is confirmed.
If a coworker sent you a team invitation, use that invitation to join their workspace. See Invite your team for how your agency sends invitations.
Resume an unfinished Studio signup
Your workspace is saved if you leave Checkout without paying. Sign in again with the same account to resume setup.
- On Complete your Studio payment, choose Continue payment to return to Checkout.
- Review the final price and complete payment.
- Wait for payment confirmation to open the workspace.
To start with the free plan instead, choose Use Community on the payment screen. This keeps the saved workspace and its work. You can upgrade later through Plan & Billing.
Until setup is complete, the workspace cannot create projects, send invitations, or add new work. If you are not an owner, ask a workspace owner to complete payment or choose Community.
Next, set up your workspace with your agency’s details.
