Creating Your First Project

Projects organize your work. Each project can contain renders, chains, or canvas files depending on the platform.

Quick Project Creation

Creating a project is fast—all fields are pre-filled for you:

1. Click "New Project" anywhere you see it
2. The modal opens with auto-filled details:
   • Project name (e.g., "Creative Studio")
   • Description (e.g., "A creative project for exploring new ideas")
   • Tags (e.g., "design, creative, art")
3. Optionally customize any field
4. Optionally upload a logo/image (or leave blank for auto-generated avatar)
5. Click "Create Project"

That's it! You can always edit details later.

Three Types of Projects

Render Projects (Default)

For chat-based rendering and iterative design:

• Created from Render page or Projects dashboard
• Used for conversational AI rendering
• Contains render chains for tracking iterations
• Platform: render

When to use: Chat-based design, iterative refinement, version control

Tools Projects

For using specialized apps:

• Created automatically when you use an app
• No file upload needed
• Organizes tool executions
• Platform: tools

When to use: Using any of the 24 specialized tools

Canvas Projects

For node-based workflows:

• Created from Canvas page
• Contains files (like Figma: Project → File → Canvas)
• Each file has its own node-based workflow
• Platform: canvas

When to use: Complex multi-step pipelines, visual programming, automation

Creating Canvas Files

Canvas projects work differently—they contain files:

1. Go to Canvas
2. Select or create a canvas project
3. Click "New File" in the project
4. Enter file name and description
5. File opens at /canvas/[projectSlug]/[fileId] for editing

Each file is a separate node-based workflow within the project.

Managing Projects

View All Projects

• Projects Dashboard — All your projects
• Filter by platform (render, tools, canvas)
• Search and sort

Edit Project

1. Go to your project
2. Click "Edit"
3. Update name, description, or tags
4. Save changes

Note: Project URLs (slugs) can't be changed after creation.

Organize with Tags

Add tags when creating or editing:

• Use consistent tags (e.g., "residential", "commercial")
• Multiple tags per project
• Helps with filtering (coming soon)

Delete Project

1. Go to your project
2. Click "Delete"
3. Confirm deletion

Warning: This permanently deletes the project and all its content.

Best Practices

Naming:

• Use descriptive names: "Modern House - 2024"
• Include context: "Client ABC - Office Building"
• Avoid generic: "Project 1", "Test"

Organization:

• One project per major design direction
• Use tags consistently
• Archive completed projects
• Delete unused projects

Troubleshooting

Can't create project:

• Check you're signed in
• Verify project limits (check billing)
• Try refreshing the page

Project not appearing:

• Check filters/search
• Verify correct account
• Refresh the page
