This guide walks you through the essential setup flow so your team can start using AakarDev AI effectively.

Step 1 — Login or Register

First, log in or create an account to get started. Once you’re in, you’ll land on your project dashboard.

Step 2 — Create or choose a project

Use a dedicated project so provider setup and monitoring stay isolated and easier to manage.

• ➝ Navigate to Dashboard > Application > Projects.
• ➝ Create a new project or open the one you want to configure.

Step 3 — Add your provider API keys

To use models from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini, add your own API keys inside the project.

• ➝ Navigate to Dashboard > Projects > AI API Gateway > BYOK.
• ➝ Select the provider you want to configure.
• ➝ Enter the API keys for each provider you plan to use.

Step 4 — Review project activity logs

Open the project logs to monitor everything happening inside the selected project.

• ➝ Navigate to Dashboard > Projects > Activity logs.
• ➝ Review request history, provider activity, and project-level status updates.

Step 5 — Configure security and whitelisting

Use the project security area to manage access and whitelist settings.

• ➝ Navigate to Dashboard > Projects > Security.
• ➝ Configure security settings and IP whitelisting for the project as needed.

This setup gives your team a clean project workflow: configure providers, monitor activity, and manage security from the project itself.
