# Getting started

> Everything you need to go from 'I have an account' to 'I'm getting insights from my AI product'.

Welcome to Nebuly. This page walks you through everything you need to do to go from "I have an account" to "I'm getting insights from my AI product".

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get access to a Nebuly environment">
    How you start depends on where you are in your journey:

    * **You already have a Nebuly workspace.** Skip ahead to the next step.
    * **You're evaluating Nebuly.** [Book a demo](https://www.nebuly.com) or contact the team at [info@nebuly.ai](mailto:info@nebuly.ai) to get a trial environment provisioned for your use case.

    When you receive your environment, you'll also receive sign-in details and (for self-hosted deployments) details about the URL where your instance lives.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up your project">
    Before ingesting data, make sure it's your data maps to your organization and use case, so the analytics are well-targeted from day one:

    * **Plan a tagging strategy** before you start sending data. Tags drive the segmentation, ROI, and risk views you'll rely on later. See [Enrichment and the importance of tagging](/guides/tagging).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start ingesting data">
    Nebuly ingests data through a single, vendor-agnostic **[Interaction API](https://docs.nebuly.com/tracking/api-reference/events/post-events-interaction-with-trace-v2)**. You control batch size, frequency, and which fields you include.

    See [How to send data to Nebuly](/guides/data-ingest) for the full ingestion guide, covering what to send, when and how to send it, and what happens after ingestion. Before you start, decide on your tagging strategy (see [Enrichment and the importance of tagging](/guides/tagging)) and familiarize yourself with [Nebuly data types](/guides/data-types) (Interaction, Conversation, User), since that vocabulary shows up everywhere in the platform.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait for the first insights">
    Insights for newly ingested data appear after the next processing cycle completes. The first insights show up shortly after your first batch, and the analytics become more representative as volume grows.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Navigate Nebuly">
    Once data is flowing, learn how to find your way around the platform in [Navigating Nebuly](/guides/navigating-nebuly).
