# Setup guide and AI credits

> The checklist on Home takes you from a new workspace to Aura answering your visitors, and earns 100 free AI credits on the way.

New workspaces open on a **setup guide**: a short checklist on Home that takes you from sign-up to Aura answering your visitors. Finish the required steps and verify your email to get **100 free AI credits**. They never expire.

![Home showing the setup heading, the Setup progress card and the steps](https://mintcdn.com/emplorium/ugrIr0OwIbcsQUR_/images/get-started/setup-guide-home.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=ugrIr0OwIbcsQUR_\&q=85\&s=d316797fadaca2ae36b5a2b2a012290a)

Home during setup: your progress, then every step in one card.

## The steps

The guide orders the steps around the goal you picked when you [created your account](https://docs.emplorium.io/get-started/create-your-account.md). Click a step to open it: each one explains what to do and lets you do it right there.

| Step | What to do | Required for the credits |
| - | - | - |
| **Create your account** | Done when you sign up. | — |
| **Train Aura on your content** | Add your website, a document or a Q\&A. Done once a source is added and its training has started. | Yes |
| **Ask Aura a question** | Try a question your customers often ask in the playground. | Yes |
| **Install the chat widget on your site** | Add one snippet to your website. Done once the widget loads there. | Yes |
| **Answer your first visitor** | Reply to a visitor from your inbox, or let Aura answer. | No (optional) |
| **Connect a channel** | Bring your WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger or Telegram chats into your inbox. | No (optional) |

Required steps carry a gift mark. Optional steps can be **skipped**, and brought back with **Undo**.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Steps tick themselves: when you add a source, test Aura or the widget goes live, the guide updates on its own, even if you did it from another page.

## The guide follows you

Besides Home, the **rocket button** at the bottom of the left sidebar opens the same steps in a panel from any page. Its badge shows how many steps are left.

## Get your 100 AI credits

1. Finish the three required steps: **Train Aura**, **Ask Aura a question** and **Install the chat widget**.
2. Verify your email: open the link we sent when you signed up. Didn't get it? Click **Resend verification email** under your progress. Google sign-ins are already verified.
3. The credits are added automatically, and a celebration tells you so.

![You've earned 100 AI credits celebration](https://mintcdn.com/emplorium/ugrIr0OwIbcsQUR_/images/get-started/setup-reward.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=ugrIr0OwIbcsQUR_\&q=85\&s=3d26cd8ec1419bf43d6a1a87eafc482a)

The credits land in your balance as soon as the last step is done.

That's about 200 answers from Aura. Reward credits go to your purchased balance, so they never expire. See [AI credits and add-ons](https://docs.emplorium.io/billing/ai-credits.md).

## Your workspace is ready

Once the required steps are done, Home goes back to its usual dashboard with a **Your workspace is ready** card listing anything optional you haven't done yet. Close it with the **×** when you're finished; it won't come back.

> [!NOTE]
>
> The setup guide is for the workspace owner of new workspaces. Teammates you invite don't see it.
