Clinks Quick Start Guide

Get up and running with AI-powered workflow building in 5 minutes!

🚀 Installation

1. Install Dependencies

pnpm install

2. Configure Tambo API Key

Get your free API key from tambo.co and add it to .env.local:

# Create .env.local file
echo "NEXT_PUBLIC_TAMBO_TOKEN=your_api_key_here" > .env.local

Replace your_api_key_here with your actual Tambo API key.

3. Start the Development Server

pnpm run dev

The app will open at http://localhost:3000

🎯 Your First Workflow

Step 1: Open the AI Assistant

Look for the "AI ASSISTANT" button at the bottom-center of your screen and click it.

Step 2: Build Your First Workflow

Try one of these commands:

"Build a text-to-image workflow"

The AI will automatically:

Step 3: Configure Your Nodes

  1. Click on the Text Input node
  2. Enter your prompt (e.g., "a cyberpunk city at night")
  3. Click on the Image Generator node
  4. Select your preferred model

Step 4: Generate Content

Ask the AI:

"Execute the workflow"

Watch as your workflow processes and generates an image!
