# Make your first creation

> Generate your first AI image in under a minute using the Artificial Studio web platform.

This guide walks you through generating your first image. The process is the same for videos, audio, and 3D — pick a tool, set your inputs, and click **Generate**.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Browse the Tools page">
    Go to the **Tools** page. You will see a grid of all available AI tools. Use the category tabs at the top to filter by **Image**, **Video**, **Audio**, or **3D**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a tool">
    Click on a tool card — for example, **Create Image**. This opens the tool's playground where you can configure your generation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a model">
    Use the model selector to pick an AI model. Each model has a different style, speed, and credit cost. The cost is displayed next to the model name.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Write a prompt">
    Type a description of what you want to create in the prompt field. Be specific — include details about style, lighting, colors, or mood.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click Generate">
    Click the **Generate** button. Your request is sent to the AI model and you will see a loading state while it processes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="View your result">
    When the generation is complete, the output appears in the playground. Click it to view the full-size result. Your creation is automatically saved to your [Library](/guide/library).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Tips for better results

* **Be descriptive** — Instead of "a cat", try "a fluffy orange cat sitting on a windowsill, soft morning light, watercolor style".
* **Mention style and medium** — Include terms like "photograph", "oil painting", "3D render", or "pencil sketch".
* **Experiment with models** — Different models excel at different styles. Try the same prompt across models to see what works best.
* **Iterate** — Use your first result as a starting point and refine your prompt based on what you see.

<Note>Each generation costs credits. The credit cost is always displayed on the tool page before you generate, so there are no surprises.</Note>
