# Quick Start Guide

> Get up and running with RelayHub in minutes

Welcome to RelayHub. This guide walks you through signing in, starting your first conversation, and exploring the core features of the platform.

## Your First Conversation

<Steps>
  ### Sign in to RelayHub

  Open your RelayHub instance URL in a browser (for example, `https://demo.relayhub.ai`). Enter the email address and password provided by your organization administrator, then click **Sign In**.

  If your admin enabled magic link authentication, you can also click **Send Magic Link** to receive a one-time login link via email -- no password required.

  ### Navigate to Chat

  After signing in, you land on the **Dashboard**. The dashboard shows your recent conversations, pinned chats, and quick stats about your usage. To start a new conversation, click **Chat** in the left sidebar or use the **New Chat** button on the dashboard.

  ### Select an AI model

  At the top of the chat window, you will see a model selector dropdown. RelayHub supports models from four providers:

  | Provider      | Recommended Models                 | Best For                     |
  | ------------- | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------------- |
  | **OpenAI**    | GPT-5.3, GPT-5-mini                | General conversation, coding |
  | **Anthropic** | Claude Sonnet 4.5, Claude Opus 4.5 | Analysis, writing, reasoning |
  | **Google**    | Gemini 3.1 Pro, Gemini 3 Flash     | Multimodal tasks, speed      |
  | **xAI**       | Grok 4, Grok 3                     | Complex reasoning, research  |

  Click the dropdown and choose the model you want to chat with. If you are unsure, start with the default model -- your admin has already configured a sensible default for your organization.

  <Tip>
    You can change models mid-conversation. Each message records which model generated it, so you can freely switch between providers within the same chat.
  </Tip>

  ### Send your first message

  Type a message in the input field at the bottom of the chat and press **Enter** or click the send button. The AI response streams in real time -- you will see tokens appear as they are generated.

  Try something like:

  * "Summarize the key benefits of our product for a sales pitch"
  * "Write a professional email responding to a client inquiry"
  * "Help me analyze the quarterly revenue data I'm about to upload"

  ### Explore additional features

  Now that you have a conversation going, try these features:

  <Columns cols={2}>
    <Card title="Attach a File" icon="paperclip">
      Click the paperclip icon to upload a PDF, spreadsheet, or document. The AI will read and analyze the file contents directly in the conversation.
    </Card>

    <Card title="Enable Web Search" icon="magnifying-glass">
      Toggle the globe icon to let the AI search the web for up-to-date information before responding.
    </Card>

    <Card title="Try Dual Chat" icon="columns">
      Open **Dual Chat** from the sidebar to send the same prompt to two different models side by side and compare their responses.
    </Card>

    <Card title="Share a Conversation" icon="share">
      Click the share icon on any chat to invite a teammate. They can watch responses stream in live and contribute their own messages.
    </Card>
  </Columns>
</Steps>

## What to Explore Next
