# Onboarding

When you first sign up for thig.ai, the dashboard walks you through a guided onboarding flow to help you set up your workspace and create your first PRD.

## Getting Started Checklist

The dashboard displays a progress checklist with five steps. Each step links directly to the relevant page.

| Step | Action                    | Where                                                                  |
| ---- | ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1    | Complete your profile     | [AI Profile Settings](/user-guide/profile) (`/admin/settings/profile`) |
| 2    | Create your first project | [Chat](/user-guide/ai-chat) (`/chat`)                                  |
| 3    | Generate a PRD            | Happens during the AI conversation                                     |
| 4    | Export your PRD           | [Exports](/user-guide/exports) (from the review page)                  |
| 5    | Invite a team member      | [Team Management](/user-guide/team-management) (`/admin/team`)         |

A progress indicator (e.g., "1/5 completed") tracks how far along you are. You can collapse or dismiss the checklist at any time.

## Quick Actions

Below the checklist, quick action cards give you immediate entry points:

* **Start New Project** — Opens the AI chat to begin a new PRD conversation
* **Browse Templates** — Jump to the [Template Marketplace](/user-guide/marketplace) to pick a starting structure

## Feature Highlights

The onboarding page introduces the three core capabilities of the platform:

### AI Conversations

Describe your product idea in natural language. The AI asks targeted follow-up questions to gather requirements, then structures them into a professional PRD.

### AI Wireframes

Auto-generate user flow diagrams, architecture diagrams, and wireframe sketches directly from your PRD content using Mermaid visualizations.

### Export Anywhere

Once your PRD is ready, export it in six formats: PDF, Word (DOCX), HTML, Markdown, Notion, or Google Docs.

## Tips for New Users

<Tip>
  Set up your [AI Profile](/user-guide/profile) first. Adding your role, industry, and tech stack helps the AI produce more relevant and tailored PRDs from the start.
</Tip>

<Tip>
  Use **Cmd+K** (Mac) or **Ctrl+K** (Windows) to open the Command Palette. It is the fastest way to navigate to any page, project, or setting.
</Tip>

* **Start with a template** — The marketplace has 12 industry-specific templates that give the AI a strong starting structure. You can always customize the output.
* **Iterate in chat** — You do not need to get everything right in one conversation. Come back to the chat and refine sections as your thinking evolves.
* **Invite your team early** — Collaboration features like comments, real-time presence, and shared templates work best with the whole team on board.

<Note>
  The onboarding checklist is only shown for new accounts. Once all steps are complete (or the checklist is dismissed), the dashboard switches to the standard stats and project overview.
