Create Your First Project

Start a new Tell Archi project from the dashboard by describing what you want to build, and open your workspace to keep iterating.

Your Tell Archi project is the workspace where your application is built, improved, and managed.

You can start a new project directly from the Tell Archi dashboard by describing what you want to create.

Start from the dashboard

When you sign in to Tell Archi, you'll see the main project dashboard.

The large prompt box is where new projects begin.

Tell Archi Dashboard

From here, you can describe the product you want Tell Archi to create.

You can build things like:

You don't need to create files, configure a development environment, or choose a technical architecture before getting started.

Describe what you want to build

Enter a description of your project into the prompt box.

For example:

Build a world-class construction website. The website should have all the navigations a construction website should have. Use professional and very clean images.

Tell Archi Create Project

Tell Archi uses your description to understand the product you want to create and determine how to approach the build.

Choose your AI model

Before starting the project, you can choose the Tell Archi model you want to work with.

Depending on your account and available options, you'll see Tell Archi's model selector beside the prompt box.

Different models are designed for different levels of speed and reasoning.

For most projects, you can start with the default selection.

Choose Build or Plan

You can also choose how Tell Archi should approach your request.

Build is designed for when you want Tell Archi to move from your request into implementation.

Plan is useful when you want Tell Archi to structure and review the approach before building.

Tell Archi Plan & Build Modes

For your first project, you can leave Build selected.

Start the project

Once you're happy with your prompt, click the arrow button to submit it.

Tell Archi will create the project and begin working on your request.

Depending on the complexity of what you're building, Tell Archi may analyze requirements, create or modify files, set up functionality, and prepare the application for preview.

You can follow the progress from inside the project workspace.

Your project workspace

Once your project is created, Tell Archi opens the project workspace.

This is where you'll continue working with Tell Archi.

Tell Archi Live Preview

From here, you can:

You don't need to create a new project every time you want to change something.

Continue working inside the existing project and tell Tell Archi what you want to do next.

Keep building

Your initial project is only the starting point.

After Tell Archi creates the first version, you might say:

Add a page showing our completed construction projects.

Then:

Add a quote request form to the Contact page.

Then:

Create an admin dashboard where we can manage quote requests.

Each request continues evolving the same application.

Next: Your first prompt

You've created your first project. Next, learn what information to include in your first prompt so Tell Archi can better understand what you want to build.
