# Set up your project
*Time estimate: 4 minutes work, 3 minutes wait*
## 1. Create a Project
To start, navigate to [app.biodock.ai](https://app.biodock.ai/) and follow these steps:
Click on **AI Projects** from the sidebar, and click on **Create a new project.** Enter a helpful project name and description, and then click **Create** to finalize your project.
## 2. Upload Data
Once your project is created, it's time to import your images. Either upload files or choose from already uploaded files in Biodock.
**Upload files options**
* Upload from your computer (see [supported formats](https://docs.biodock.ai/files/supported-image-types)).
* Import from Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, or OneDrive.
**Choose from files**
Click on **Select Files.** Choose the desired files from the list. Click **Import** to add them to your project. Wait for the import to finish and finish processing your files.
## 3. Configure your project
{% hint style="info" %}
If you have images with more than 3 channels, you will need to [configure channel settings](https://docs.biodock.ai/ai-projects/project-settings) before you can proceed. You should also do this configuration if any of your channels are too dim.
{% endhint %}
First, enter the model creation dashboard by clicking on **Create or improve AI models**. Follow the instructions to create your first size group. You'll choose a segmentation type, choose a tile size, and add your first class.
#### Choosing a tile size
Biodock creates a grid-like set of tiles for labeling and training. Box around the object to select proper tile size. It's **very important** to follow the on-screen instructions to choose your tiles size correctly. Smaller tile sizes use more [credits](https://docs.biodock.ai/user/usage-limits-and-team/run-credits-limits).
### Overview
The labeling tab has tools on the left side, your zoomable image in the center, and a tutorial on the right. If you follow the tutorial, it will guide you step by step to a great performing AI model in most cases.
