Lesson 3 · Getting Started: From Waitlist to First Run

🎯 What You'll Learn

• Complete the access onboarding at typesafe.ai
• Navigate the four core zones of the developer console
• Run your very first decision in Playground

Follow these sequential steps without jumping ahead:

Step 1: Waitlist & Request

Join the waitlist on typesafe.ai. When specifying your use case, be concrete: e.g., "Building ticket triage for an indie SaaS". Specific descriptions get approved much faster than generic AI research.

Step 2: The Console Layout

Once approved, you'll see a clean developer workspace: Home, Playground, Usage, and API Keys.

Step 3: Check Credits

TypeSafe AI typically grants $5 in initial evaluation credits, which is plenty for thousands of decision calls.

Step 4: Run in Playground

Paste sample text into State, define three questions, and click Run.

Sample text:

"I was charged twice for my monthly subscription. Could you check these two transactions?"

• Noul: Is this demanding immediate resolution?
• Choice: Category (Billing, Technical, Sales)
• Score: Frustration level

Step 5: Generate API Key

Create an API key in API Keys and securely store it in your .env.

📌 Takeaway

Never jump straight to code; verify State + Questions in Playground first.
