Creating Your First Customer Dashboard Workflow

Build a complete model-to-production workflow inside Customer Dashboard Portal

This walkthrough combines model discovery, prompt validation, secure credential creation, production invocation, and post-launch monitoring.

What You Will Build

A repeatable customer workflow that:

1. Selects a project boundary
2. Validates a model in Playground
3. Creates a project-scoped API key
4. Executes first endpoint requests
5. Monitors reliability and spend

Step 1: Prepare your project

1. Open Projects.
2. Create a project with clear naming (for example, support-assistant-prod).
3. Add tags to identify environment and owner.

Step 2: Choose a model

1. Open Models and search for your target model.
2. Inspect metadata and endpoint support.
3. Copy the preferred language snippet from Use Model.

Step 3: Validate prompts

1. Open Playground.
2. Run representative prompts from your use case.
3. Compare outputs across models if needed.
4. Save final prompt patterns for your app integration.

Step 4: Generate credentials

1. Open API Keys.
2. Create a key bound to your project.
3. Set an expiry aligned with your security policy.
4. Store the key in a managed secret store.

Step 5: Integrate and smoke test

1. Use copied snippet in your application.
2. Replace placeholders (host, model, key).
3. Run smoke tests for typical and edge-case prompts.

Step 6: Add guardrails with monitoring

1. Open Logs and verify request telemetry appears.
2. Open Usage and confirm token/cost tracking.
3. Add billing alerts at practical thresholds.
4. Use Audit when reviewing changes or incidents.
