# Getting Started with Finkkle Spaces: Quick Start Guide

> Learn how to open Finkkle Spaces, start your first conversation, add context, and produce a reusable artifact in under five minutes.

Finkkle Spaces takes you from a blank workspace to useful, repeatable AI workflows in minutes. This guide walks you through your first conversation — from opening Spaces to saving a finished artifact.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Sign in and open Spaces">
    Visit [spaces.finkkle.com](https://spaces.finkkle.com) and sign in with your Finkkle account. If you don't have one yet, create one at [my.finkkle.com/signup](https://my.finkkle.com/signup) — the Spark plan is free.

    Once signed in, your workspace opens. Previous conversations appear in the left sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start a new conversation">
    Click **New conversation** or type directly in the composer at the bottom of the screen.

    Describe your goal clearly — include the audience, format, and what "done" looks like:

    > *"Turn these meeting notes into a one-page decision brief with risks and next steps."*

    This gives Spaces everything it needs to produce a focused first response.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a mode">
    Pick the mode that fits your task:

    | Mode         | Best for                                                       |
    | ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
    | **Chat**     | General questions, drafting, planning, explanations            |
    | **Research** | Source-backed synthesis, comparisons, evidence-focused answers |
    | **Study**    | Learning a topic with explanations, examples, and practice     |
    | **Code**     | Writing, debugging, explaining, and refactoring code           |

    You can switch modes at any point with a follow-up message.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add context">
    Use the attachment controls to bring in relevant material:

    * 📎 **File** — PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, code files
    * 🖼 **Image** — photos, screenshots, diagrams
    * 🔗 **Link** — a URL for Spaces to read
    * 📑 **Tab** — reference another open browser tab as context

    Tell Spaces what each item is and how to use it: *"This PDF is the contract. Summarize the key obligations and deadlines."*
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review, refine, and save">
    Check the response. Ask for changes:

    > *"Make it shorter. Bullet points only. Add a risk section."*

    When the result is right, save it as an **artifact**. Artifacts stay in the conversation and can be exported, shared, or iterated on later.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## A first-session recipe

<Tip>
  1. Ask for a plan before asking for a large deliverable.
  2. Provide a small representative sample of your source material.
  3. State the output format and audience.
  4. Review the first result and give specific corrections.
  5. Save the accepted result as an artifact and note the next action.
