Quick Start Guide
Get your first Tensorify workflow running in under 5 minutes.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have:
- A Tensorify account (sign up here)
- A modern web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge)
Step 1: Create a New Workflow
- Log into your Tensorify dashboard
- Click "New Workflow" in the sidebar
- Give your workflow a name (e.g., "My First Workflow")
- Click "Create"
You'll be taken to the visual canvas editor.
Step 2: Add Your First Plugin
The plugin sidebar on the left shows all available plugins. Let's start with a simple example:
- Search for "OpenAI" in the plugin sidebar
- Drag the OpenAI plugin onto the canvas
- Click on the node to configure it
Configure the Plugin
In the settings panel:
- Model: Select
gpt-4orgpt-3.5-turbo - System Prompt: Enter "You are a helpful assistant"
- API Key: Your OpenAI API key (stored securely)
Step 3: Add an Output
- Search for "File Writer" in the plugins
- Drag it onto the canvas, to the right of the OpenAI node
- Connect them by dragging from the OpenAI output handle to the File Writer input
Connect the Nodes
Nodes are connected through handles:
- Output handles (right side) emit data
- Input handles (left side) receive data
Click and drag from an output to an input to create a connection.
Step 4: Export Your Code
Once your workflow is connected:
- Click the "Export" button in the toolbar
- Choose "Download Python"
- You'll receive a zip with:
main.py- The executable scriptutils.py- Helper functionsrequirements.txt- Python dependencies
Step 5: Run Locally
# Extract the downloaded zip
unzip my-workflow.zip
cd my-workflow
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
# Set your API key
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key-here"
# Run the workflow
python main.py
✅
Congratulations! You've just built and run your first Tensorify workflow.
Alternative: Cloud Execution
Instead of running locally, you can execute directly on Tensorify's cloud:
- Click "Execute" instead of "Export"
- Choose your execution environment (CPU or GPU)
- Click "Run"
- View logs in real-time
Cloud execution is perfect for:
- GPU-intensive ML workloads
- Scheduled/automated runs
- Team collaboration
