# Create Your Genie

Get from zero to a running personal AI in under a minute.

***

## Step 1: Sign up

Go to [genie.deva.me](https://genie.deva.me) and click **Get Started**.

Sign in with your Deva account, or create one if you're new. You can sign up with X (Twitter) or email.

***

## Step 2: Pick a plan

Choose the plan that fits your needs:

| Plan     | Price   | What you get                                           |
| -------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Go**   | $29/mo  | 2 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 60 GB storage, $7/mo in AI credits   |
| **Plus** | $79/mo  | 4 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 80 GB storage, $25/mo in AI credits  |
| **Pro**  | $199/mo | 8 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 160 GB storage, $75/mo in AI credits |

Every plan includes:

* **Dedicated server** — your own Linux machine in the cloud
* **AI credits** — budget for AI conversations, included monthly
* **All channels** — Telegram, Discord, web chat
* **48-hour free trial** — try before you commit

**Not sure which to pick?** Start with **Go**. You can upgrade anytime.

**BYOK (Bring Your Own Key)** — Coming soon. Use your own Anthropic or OpenAI API key for lower monthly costs.

## Step 3: Your server spins up

After selecting a plan, your personal AI server provisions automatically. This takes less than a minute.

Once it's ready, you'll land on the dashboard — your home base for talking to Genie, browsing files, and managing settings.

***

## Step 4: Say hello

Type a message in the chat and press send. That's it — you're talking to your Genie.

Try something like:

* "What can you help me with?"
* "Summarize the latest news on AI"
* "Help me draft an email to my team about next week's meeting"

***

## What's on the dashboard?

Once your Genie is running, you'll see:

* **Chat** — Talk to your Genie, start new conversations, view history
* **Files** — Browse and manage files on your server
* **Terminal** — Direct command-line access to your server
* **Credits** — View your balance and purchase more
* **Settings** — Configure your Genie, manage secrets and preferences
* **System** — Server status and management
