Quick Start
From a free account to chatting with your own AI in five minutes — the fastest path through the loop.
The fastest way to understand Tyrex AI is to build one. Here's the whole journey, from a free account to chatting with an AI that knows you — usually under five minutes.
Just an email address and one file you'd like your AI to know — a FAQ, a document, a syllabus, a spreadsheet. Everything else is handled by the platform.
Step 1 — Create your account
Go to ai.tyrex.id and sign up. The free plan is free forever and includes one AI persona — everything you need to complete this guide.
After signing up you land in the app dashboard. The left rail is your main navigation: Chat, Works, Marketplace, Data Studio, and Personas (on mobile, these live in a bottom bar, plus Settings).
Step 2 — Answer the KNOW interview
Click Create your AI on the chat welcome screen to open the Build your AI wizard. It walks you through four steps — KNOW → GATHER → SHAPE → READY (shown in the app as KENAL → KUMPUL → BENTUK → READY). Your progress is saved in the URL, so you can refresh or leave and come back without losing your place.
The first step, KNOW (the interview), asks you a few questions about what your AI is for:
- What do you want your AI to do — personal assistant, work helper, customer responder?
- How do you speak — formal or casual? What phrases do you use?
- What domain knowledge matters — your field's vocabulary, your terms?
- What should it never do — your boundaries?
Answer in your own words. There are no wrong answers; the interview adapts to what you say. This becomes your AI's persona.
Step 3 — Upload a file (GATHER)
Still inside the Build your AI wizard, the second step (GATHER) asks if you want to feed your AI data. Upload a file — a PDF, Word document, spreadsheet, CSV, or plain text. Something real: a FAQ sheet, a chapter from a textbook, a product list.
You can also reach the same place later from Data Studio (left rail) or Works → AI Library. Tyrex processes the file in the background: it reads it, chunks it, and builds a private knowledge index. You'll see the file listed as ready when processing finishes. No configuration needed.
Step 4 — Finish shaping (SHAPE)
Move to the third step (SHAPE) in the wizard — it shows a summary of your AI: the persona from your interview and the data it can now search. Nothing to configure; this is the review before your AI goes live.
Step 5 — Start chatting (USE)
Click through to READY, then hit the button to open a chat with your new AI (or go to Chat in the left rail and pick it from the persona list). Choose a model:
- RAPTOR — fast everyday model, great for Q&A and routine work.
- CARNO — deeper reasoning, analysis, and research (Pro plan and up).
- REX — the flagship for complex problems (Elite plan).
Try asking something that draws on your uploaded file — e.g. "Summarize the main points from my document" or "Answer the top 3 questions customers ask, in my tone." Because your file is attached to this AI, answers will be grounded in it, with sources.
Step 6 — Generate a real file
Ask your AI to produce something tangible: "Turn this into a one-page PDF summary" or "Make a 5-slide PowerPoint." Tyrex generates a real file you can download, preview, and reuse. Generated files land in Works → Generated, next to the chat that produced them.
That's the loop
You just completed KNOW → GATHER → SHAPE → USE. The interview built your AI's identity, your file gave it knowledge, and the chat is where it all comes together.
Where to next:
- Make your AI smarter with more files in GATHER.
- Give it recurring jobs with Workflows.
- Build more AIs and manage them in Personas & AI Library.
- Understand the plans and usage metering in Plans & Billing.
