Your First Run

This guide will walk you through running your first AI application on AiFormer. By the end, you'll understand the basic workflow of discovering, configuring, and executing apps.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • An AiFormer account (sign up here)
  • A verified email address

Step 1: Browse the App Directory

  1. Log in to your AiFormer dashboard
  2. Click "Explore Apps" in the sidebar
  3. Browse available apps or use the search bar

Finding the Right App

Apps are organized by category:

  • Content - Writing, summarization, translation
  • Analysis - Data processing, insights, reports
  • Creative - Images, designs, brainstorming
  • Technical - Code generation, documentation

Step 2: Select an App

For this tutorial, let's use the "Email Composer" app:

  1. Click on the app card to view details
  2. Review the app description and sample outputs
  3. Click "Run App" to start

Step 3: Configure Your Run

Each app has a structured input form:

Recipient Type: [Customer / Partner / Internal]
Tone: [Formal / Friendly / Casual]
Purpose: [Follow-up / Introduction / Request]
Key Points: [Your main message points]

Fill in each field according to your needs. The structured format ensures you provide all necessary information.

Step 4: Execute the Run

  1. Review your inputs
  2. Click "Generate"
  3. Wait for the AI to process your request

The execution typically takes 5-30 seconds depending on the complexity.

Step 5: Review and Download

Once complete, you'll see:

  • Preview - View the generated content
  • Versions - Access previous iterations
  • Download - Export in various formats (PDF, DOCX, etc.)

What's Next?

Now that you've completed your first run:
