The Getting Started section is your first step into using biela.dev. This guide will walk you through setting up your account, exploring the main modes, and creating your first product. Whether you’re a founder with an idea, a creator experimenting with projects, or a learner looking to understand software development, this section will help you get up and running quickly.


Step 1: Create Your Account

  • Visit biela.dev.

  • Sign up using your email or social login.
 
  • Verify your email to activate your account
 
  • Log in to access the dashboard.



Step 2: Choose Your Mode and AI Model

When starting a project, you can select between:
 • Plan Mode → for brainstorming, structuring ideas, and discussing logic.
 • Build Mode → for generating and refining real code from your prompts.

You can also select the AI Model that best suits your goal — from fast iterations to higher-quality outputs.

Once you choose a mode and enter your prompt (for example, “Create a task management app”), Biela will generate the first project view for you — including a full reasoning panel and all related assets.


Step 3: Explore the Project Interface


After your prompt runs, Biela creates a structured project environment with multiple panels and tools:

 • Code → View and edit the generated code in real time.

 • Preview → Instantly see how your project looks and behaves in the browser.

 • Content Studio → Access media assets:
        - Getty Images integration for stock photos and videos.
        - AI Image Studio for generating custom visuals.

 • Settings → Manage everything about your project, including:
        - Project Info (name, visibility)
        - Database connections ( Supabase )
        - Domain Name configuration
        - Knowledge — Project Context, Custom Rules, Code Standards
        - Control Center — Auto Error Handling,  AI Diff Mode, testing tools
        - Connect GitHub — link repositories for version control

This workspace gives you full visibility and control — from prompt to deployment — without leaving Biela.


Step 4: Iterate and Improve


Once your project is created:

 • You can switch between Plan Mode and Build Mode anytime to refine logic or code.
 • Use Diff Mode to update only specific sections of code safely.
 • Use Rollback if something breaks, to return to a previous version.
 • Access Unit Testing directly from the terminal to validate behavior.


Tip
Every prompt you run in Biela is versioned — meaning you can always revisit, restore, or compare earlier sessions in History.


Step 5: Deploy and Go Live


When your project is ready:

 • Click Deploy to publish it instantly to the live environment.
Biela will handle the entire deployment process — no configuration needed.
 • Once deployed, your project will automatically receive a live link.

If you want to use your own custom domain, open Settings → Domain Name and connect it there.
