Getting Started
Quick Start Guide
Get productive in AINexLayer in a few minutes
This guide walks you through your first session in AINexLayer.
1. Sign in
- Open the AINexLayer app and go to Login.
- Sign in with Google (the main option on the login page).
- Or, if you have an app password set on your account, sign in below with your email and app password.
- You are taken to your dashboard. If you already have a workspace, AINexLayer opens it on a new chat.
2. Create or open a workspace
- No workspace yet — choose Create your first workspace, give it a name, and continue.
- Already have workspaces — use the workspace icons on the left rail to switch, or + to add another.
Each workspace has its own documents, chats, connectors, and model settings.
3. Upload a document
- Open the Library panel (Documents) in the sidebar.
- Click Upload Files, or use + in the chat composer and choose Upload Files.
- Select a PDF, Word doc, text file, or other supported format.
- Wait until processing finishes. The file appears in your document tree when it is ready for chat.
4. Start chatting
- Open New chat (or stay on the chat that opened after login).
- Ask a question about your document, for example: Summarize the main points in this file.
- Optional: type
@and pick a file so the agent focuses on that document. - Read the answer and open any citations to see which sources were used.
5. Connect a tool (optional)
- Open Connectors in the workspace sidebar.
- Connect a service (for example Slack or Google), or explore native scrapers such as Google Search or Web Crawl.
- In chat, type
@and mention the connector when you want the agent to use it.
