Build your first project

End-to-end walkthrough: sign up, enroll as a creator, describe a project, watch it build, use it. About five minutes.

1. Sign up

Visit atriux.tech/signup. You can sign in with Google or create an email/password account. There's no credit card requirement and no email verification step — you land on the dashboard immediately after the form.

2. Become a creator

Open the avatar menu in the top right → Creator dashboard → Become a creator. One click. No SSN, no business website, no industry classification.

Behind the scenes, this just inserts a row in our creators table. You're now eligible to build projects that earn — but you don't need a payout method until you're ready to withdraw earnings. (See Payout methods for that.)

3. Describe what you want to build

From the dashboard, click Build a project. You'll land on /build — a chat surface with a textarea.

Type a description in plain English. Be specific about what you want to track, what fields you care about, and any unusual UI needs.

Some examples that work well:

• "Research a company by URL — give me recent funding news, key executives, and the most likely cold-email angle."
• "Summarize a paper from a PDF link — the 3 main claims, the methodology, who it's most useful for."
• "Draft 3 follow-up email options given a sales situation — one direct, one curious, one re-anchor."
• "Analyze a contract paste for red flags — flag risky clauses with severity and counter-edit suggestions."

Atriux v2 specializes in AI-powered single-purpose tools — one input, one AI button, one output. Briefs that ask for multi-domain workspaces, dashboards, kanban boards, real-time apps, or generic CRUD trackers without an AI step will be politely redirected (the agent suggests Lovable or Replit instead).

Click Start building. The agent runs for 30 to 60 seconds. You'll see rotating editorial copy ("Reading your brief…", "Picking the right blocks…") while the agent works.

4. Land on your project

On success the agent redirects you to /p/<your-slug>. The page renders immediately with a hero, your data structure, and (for compose-mode projects) a chat panel for adding data.

5. Use the chat

Type into the chat as if you're talking to a person. The data agent has your project's schema in context and translates whatever you say into structured rows.

• "Add Acme Corp, contact John Smith, status warm" → creates a row.
• "Show me all the warm leads" → queries, replies in chat.
• "Update Acme to status hot" → looks up the row, updates it.

If you have an ItemListBlock, StatBlock, or ChartBlock on the page, those refresh automatically when the chat creates or updates rows.

6. Set visibility (optional)

Every freshly-built project starts as unlisted by default. That means it doesn't appear on the dashboard for other users — but anyone with the link can use it. From the project page, you'll see Owner controls at the top with a visibility selector. Switch to Public if you want it on the dashboard, or Private if you want only yourself to view it.

The submission gate (an AI evaluator) may have already lowered your project to unlistedif it looks like a duplicate of an existing public project or has a low-effort name/description. You'll see a banner explaining why. You can still override and publish.

7. (Optional) Set up payouts

If you set your project to public and other users start using it, you'll start earning credits. Visit Creator dashboard to see Lifetime earned, Pending payout, and Total paid out.

Add a payout method (PayPal email or US bank routing+account) when you have something to withdraw. See Payout methods for the full flow.

You're live

That's the entire creator loop. Next steps:

• Read How the agent works if you want to understand what's happening under the hood.
• Check the Block catalog to see exactly what the agent has to work with.
• If you want to build a project that needs custom UI (canvas, charts, webcam), see Compose vs. generate.
