# Getting Started

This guide walks you through how to create, configure, and launch your first app in **GLIK Cloud** — whether you're starting from scratch, cloning a ready-made template, or importing a DSL file.

## How to Create Your First App

1. Visit [**app.glik.ai**](https://app.glik.ai/) and log in.
2. From the dashboard, click **New App**.
3. Choose how you want to start:
   * **Create from Blank** – Build your app block-by-block from scratch
   * **Create from Template** – Clone a prebuilt GLIK app with example workflows
   * **Import DSL File** – Upload a previously exported GLIK app using the DSL format
4. Select your **App Type**:
   * [**Chatbot**](/app-types/chatbot.md) – Input/output-based logic
   * [**Agent**](/app-types/agent.md) – Stateful workflows with memory
   * [**Advanced Chat**](/app-types/advanced-chat.md) – Multi-turn assistant
   * [**Workflow**](/app-types/workflow.md) – Modular blocks connected in a visual graph
5. Name your app and assign it to a workspace.
6. Click **Create** to launch the visual builder.

## What You Can Build

Inside the visual builder, apps are composed using **modular blocks**:

* `Input Block` – Captures user input or system prompts
* `LLM Block` – Uses a language model to generate responses
* `Variable Assigner` – Sets and transforms scoped variables
* `Knowledge Retrieval` – Queries memory for contextually relevant data
* `Data Enrichment` – Writes information into GLIK Knowledge
* `Tool Node` – Calls APIs or plugins via OpenAPI
* `Answer Block` – Displays output to the user

## Next Steps

* 🔒 Learn about [**Security & Data Handling**](/glik-cloud/security-and-data-handling.md) in GLIK Cloud
* 👥 Review [**Workspaces & Permissions**](/glik-cloud/workspaces-and-permissions.md) to manage roles
* 🧠 Explore [**Templates**](/templates/overview.md) to deploy production-ready apps faster
