Gen3 Admin Quickstart

Control Panel QuickStart

Purpose

The QuickStart setup guide walks Super Admins through first-time Control Panel configuration after install. A sequential overlay coach (Setup guide panel) stays on screen while you work on each real page — Models, Users, Email Settings, and so on. It prioritizes free-tier inference from Groq Cloud and NVIDIA NIM, optional local Ollama, platform default models, users, SMTP, and GT Helper settings.

When to use QuickStart

1. Immediately after your first Super Admin login — the coach opens automatically. You may Pause setup and resume from the sidebar QuickStart item or Continue setup on /dashboard/quickstart.
2. Whenever default models, API keys, or inference providers are incomplete.

How the coach works

• One step at a time — plain-language instructions (“do this, then that”).
• Next takes you to the right Control Panel page for the current step.
• Automatic progress — when a step is detected complete (for example a Groq API key saved), the coach advances.
• Overview — /dashboard/quickstart lists all steps and percent complete.

Then finish personalization in QuickStart.
