# Quick start

This is the whole Terradium flow end to end: connect a project, plan a calendar,
generate and refine content, add images, publish, and set up notifications. Each
step links to a deeper guide.

## 1. Create a project

A **project** is a content workspace with its own brand context, publishing
target, and defaults.

1. Go to **Projects → New project** and follow the short wizard.
2. Give it a name and your website URL, and add **product context** (markdown the
   AI uses to stay on-brand).
3. (Optional) Turn on **AI featured images** and pick an image style.

You can change all of this later in project settings. More in
**[Projects](/docs/projects)**.

## 2. Plan a calendar (optional)

Plans turn a keyword export into a scheduled set of articles.

1. Go to **Plans → Import CSV** and upload a keyword CSV — Terradium clusters it
   into one article per page.
2. Pick a plan type, start date, and **language**.
3. Generate items manually, or let scheduled generation run them on their dates.

You can also **Generate keywords** instead of importing. More in
**[Editorial plans](/docs/editorial-plans)**.

## 3. Generate content

1. Go to **Content → New**, pick a project, enter a title and keywords, and choose
   a **language**.
2. Start generation. The pipeline runs four agents — **strategy → SEO research →
   writing → refinement** — and you can watch each stage complete.
3. Each generation counts against your monthly quota.

More in **[Content generation](/docs/content-generation)**.

## 4. Add a featured image

On a finished article, attach a cover image — **upload** your own (JPEG/PNG/WebP,
max 500 KB, free) or **generate with AI** (uses one generation credit). More in
**[Featured images](/docs/featured-images)**.

## 5. Publish

- If **auto-publish** is on, articles publish as soon as they finish.
- Otherwise open the article and click **Publish**, or use the **Publish** screen.
- Published posts are served by the public content API or POSTed to your signed
  webhook. You can **unpublish** any time.

More in **[Publishing](/docs/publishing)**.

## 6. Billing & quota

Terradium includes a fixed number of generations per billing period. Both article
and AI-image generation consume it; manual uploads and edits don't. Manage your
subscription and payment history under **Settings → Billing**. More in
**[Billing & quota](/docs/billing-quota)**.

## 7. Notifications

Under **Settings → Integrations** you can **Add to Slack** and choose which events
notify you; toggle channels (email, in-app, Slack) under **Settings →
Notifications**. More in **[Notifications](/docs/notifications)**.
