# Quickstart

> Register, log in, and start your first AI conversation

This guide will walk you through registering, choosing an Expert, and starting your first AI conversation in 5 minutes.

## Before You Begin

All you need is a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge) and a phone number or WeChat account.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Register & Log In">
    Visit [app.profy.cn](https://app.profy.cn). You can register using either of the following methods:

    * **Phone number login**: Enter your phone number and receive a verification code to log in (no password required)
    * **WeChat QR code login**: Scan the QR code with WeChat for one-tap authorization login

    New users automatically receive a certain amount of credits upon registration, which can be used to try out various Experts on the platform.

    <Tip>
      The exact number of credits granted upon registration is subject to the real-time display within the product.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Browse the Expert Marketplace">
    After logging in, go to the homepage or click "Marketplace" in the top navigation. You'll see Experts across various domains:

    * **Featured**: Quality Experts curated by the platform
    * **Browse by Category**: Filter by domain — writing, programming, design, data analysis, education, etc.
    * **Search**: Enter keywords to directly search for the capabilities you need

    Each Expert card displays its name, description, rating, and number of users to help you quickly determine if it's a good fit.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Your First Expert">
    Click any Expert card to enter its detail page. Here you can see:

    * **Overview**: Introduction to the Expert's capabilities and applicable scenarios
    * **Pricing**: Free, trial, or paid (subject to real-time display within the product)
    * **Reviews**: Feedback from other users

    Choose a free or trial-supported Expert and click "Start Chat".

    <Tip>
      Many Experts offer free trial sessions — you can try before deciding whether to purchase.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start Your First Conversation">
    After entering the chat interface, you'll see a chat-like interaction area. The Expert may send an opening message introducing what it can do.

    Try sending a message — for example:

    * "Help me write a short article about AI"
    * "Analyze the issues in this code"
    * "Help me create a project plan"

    The Expert will reply in real-time streaming, just like chatting with a real human expert.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Try Uploading a File">
    Next to the chat input box, you'll see a file upload button. Experts can process various file types:

    * **Documents**: Word, PDF, PPT, Excel
    * **Code**: Source code files in various programming languages
    * **Images**: Screenshots, design mockups, photos
    * **Archives**: ZIP-format project files

    Try uploading a file and ask the Expert to analyze or process it.

    <Note>
      File size and storage space are subject to your plan limits. Refer to the real-time display within the product for details.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Explore the Workspace Panel">
    If the Expert you're using has the sandbox workspace enabled, a workspace panel will appear on the right side of the chat interface:

    * **Code Editor**: View and edit code generated by the Expert
    * **Website Preview**: Preview web pages built by the Expert in real time
    * **File Browser**: Manage all files in the workspace
    * **Terminal**: View command execution results

    Files in the workspace are persistently saved — close the browser and come back, and your files will still be there.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Managing Your Credits

Each AI conversation consumes credits, and the amount depends on the model used and the type of interaction. You can check your current credits balance from the avatar menu in the top-right corner.

When you're running low on credits, you can:

* **Upgrade your plan**: Higher-tier plans include more credits and features
* **Purchase a top-up pack**: One-time credits recharge

<Warning>
  Bonus credits have an expiration date and will automatically expire if unused. Purchased credits do not expire. Refer to the real-time display within the product for specific expiration details.
</Warning>
