# 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](/ai-projects/project-settings.md) 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](/user/usage-limits-and-team/run-credits-limits.md).

### 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.
