Create a Project

Overview

In Asiyst, a Project is the top-level boundary for assistant configuration, website domains, knowledge sources, and telemetry data. Each project possesses unique public keys and isolated conversational history.

Creating via Dashboard

1. Sign in to the Asiyst Dashboard.

1. Select Projects in the primary navigation sidebar and click + Create Project.

1. Fill in the project details:

   - Project Name: A descriptive name (e.g., Stripe Checkout Assistant).

   - Website URL: The URL where the assistant will be embedded (e.g., https://mysite.com).

   - Environment: Choose development or production.

   - Primary Goal: Select whether the assistant focuses on navigation, sales, or support.

1. Click Save & Continue.

Creating via CLI

You can also provision projects directly from your terminal using the Asiyst CLI:

# Authenticate the CLI first
asiyst login
# Create a project interactively
asiyst projects create --name "Docs Portal" --domain "https://docs.mysite.com"

Project Identifiers

Every project is automatically assigned two core credentials:

• Public Project ID (proj_...): The unique string identifier sent by the client SDK to locate your project.

• Public SDK Key (pk_live_...): The cryptographically generated browser key validated against your allowed domain whitelist.

View these credentials anytime under Project Settings.

Environments

Projects can be toggled between two environment modes:

• Development: Relaxed domain checking, verbose client logging, and test model endpoints.

• Production: Strict domain enforcement, rate-limit protections, and high-availability endpoints.
