After creating your developer account, your first login experience is designed to get you building quickly.

​
What Happens on First Login

When you sign in for the first time:
  1. Automatic redirect to console: You land on /console dashboard
  2. Credentials displayed: Your developer key, project ID, and API key are shown
  3. Project created: A default project is already set up for you
  4. Ready to build: All credentials needed for the Starter Kit are available

​
Dashboard Welcome Screen

Your first view of the console shows:

​
Quick Stats

  • Projects: 1 (your default project)
  • API Keys: 1 (your default project key)
  • End Users: 0 (no users yet)
  • Status: Active and ready

​
Getting Started Guide

A step-by-step checklist helps you:
1

Copy your credentials

Save your developer key, project ID, and API key to a secure location
2

Clone the Starter Kit

Download the template from GitHub
3

Configure environment

Add your credentials to the Starter Kit’s .env.local file
4

Start building

Run the development server and customize your app

​
Quick Actions Panel

Shortcuts to common tasks:
  • Create New Project: Set up additional projects
  • Generate API Key: Create more keys for your projects
  • View Documentation: Access guides and tutorials
  • View Examples: See sample applications

​
Configuration Banner

If you see a banner at the top of the console, it indicates:
  • Missing environment variables: Some configuration is incomplete
  • Invalid credentials: Check that your keys are properly formatted
  • Connection issues: Verify you can reach the Cloud API
The banner provides specific error messages to help you resolve issues quickly.

​
Copying Your Credentials

One-time display: Full credentials (developer key and API keys) are shown in their entirety only when first generated. After you navigate away, only the key prefix will be visible for security.

​
Best Practices

  1. Use a password manager: Store credentials securely
  2. Don’t commit to version control: Never add keys to Git
  3. Use environment variables: Keep keys out of your codebase
  4. Regenerate if compromised: Create new keys if you suspect exposure

​
What to Copy

Make sure you save these three values: 
# Developer Key (starts with dk_)
DEVKIT4AI_DEVELOPER_KEY=dk_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

# Project ID (UUID format)
DEVKIT4AI_PROJECT_ID=123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000

# Project API Key (starts with ak_)
