# 🚀 Getting Started

Tila is a visual space where you create, connect, and develop ideas with the help of AI. Below are the basic steps to get started.

## 🧭 Create a New Space

When you first log in, you’re automatically taken to a starter space.

A space is a separate workspace where you interact with AI, place tiles, upload files, and build logical chains. It’s like a blank canvas or board where your idea, scenario, or project unfolds.

Spaces help you separate projects, topics, and ideas.

To create a new one:

- Open the list of spaces in the upper left corner;
- Click **“+ New Space”**.

## ✍️ Create Your First Request

Requests can be created:

- Using the **“+”** button on the left toolbar;
- By **right-clicking** on the canvas;

You can:

- Choose **one of the specialized tiles** if you plan to use a specific model or settings;
- Or create a simple **request** tile and describe your task in your own words. Tila will automatically select the model, function, and provide the result.

## 🔗 Link Tiles

To add context, connect tiles using the connector dots on their edges.

This allows you to:

- Pass linked context to the AI;
- Build logical chains;
- Clarify your train of thought without repetition.

Context helps you get more accurate, relevant, and useful responses.

## 📂 Upload Files

Tila supports working with:

- Texts;
- Images;
- Audio and video files;
- Various document and spreadsheet formats.

You can add files:

- Directly to a tile, if the field is available;
- Via the **“Upload”** option in the tile menu;
- Or just **drag and drop** them onto the canvas.

They’ll become part of your request and be included in the generation process.

## 🌀 Generate, Customize, Explore

- Switch models;
- Adjust tile parameters;
- Generate and regenerate content;
- Try different phrasings.

Tila helps you not only find answers but also launch new ideas.
