Getting Started with 4Geeks AI Studio: From Console to First Deploy¶
Overview¶
4Geeks AI Studio gives you access to an AI-augmented development team powered by the 4Geeks AI Factory — a proprietary infrastructure that orchestrates the world’s most powerful LLMs (Claude 4.5, GPT-5, Gemini 3 Pro, and DeepSeek) to write, test, and refactor code up to 5x faster than a standard developer.
In this tutorial, you will:
- Create your 4Geeks AI Studio account
- Navigate the console dashboard
- Configure your first project and set token limits
- Submit your first AI task
- Monitor results in real-time
Prerequisites¶
- A 4Geeks account (sign up at console.4geeks.io)
- A code repository (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket)
- Basic understanding of software development workflows
Step 1: Create Your Account¶
- Go to console.4geeks.io/ai-studio
- Click “Get Started”
- Fill in your company information and select your plan:
- AI Solo ($1,950/mo) — Ideal for MVP development
- AI Starter ($3,450/mo) — Ideal for scaling products
- AI Pro ($5,900/mo) — Ideal for enterprise workloads
- Complete the onboarding process and verify your email
Step 2: Explore the Console Dashboard¶
Once logged in, you’ll see the AI Studio dashboard with the following sections:
| Section | Description |
|---|---|
| Projects | List of all your active AI-augmented projects |
| Token Usage | Real-time consumption meter with hard-limit controls |
| AI Tasks | Queue of submitted tasks and their status |
| Team | Your assigned Senior Architect and project managers |
| Billing | Subscription details, invoices, and token spend history |
Step 3: Create Your First Project¶
- Click “New Project” on the dashboard
- Enter your project details:
- Project Name: A descriptive name for your initiative
- Repository URL: Link to your GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket repo
- Tech Stack: Select the primary languages and frameworks
- Description: Brief overview of what you want to build
- Click “Create Project”
Your Senior Architect will be assigned within 24 hours and will begin mapping your codebase for Smart Context Injection.
Step 4: Configure Token Limits¶
One of AI Studio’s key features is Hard-Limit Protection — you control exactly how much you spend on AI compute.
- Navigate to your project settings
- Go to “Token Configuration”
- Set your monthly token cap (e.g., $150/mo)
- Choose your alert preference:
- Pause — AI tasks stop when the limit is reached
- Alert — You receive a notification but tasks continue
- Click “Save”
Tip: Start with a conservative limit and increase it as you understand your project’s token consumption patterns.
Step 5: Submit Your First AI Task¶
An AI Task is an atomic, testable unit of work — such as one Pull Request, a specific API endpoint, a UI component, or a bug fix. It is not an entire project epic.
- Go to your project’s “AI Tasks” tab
- Click “New Task”
- Fill in the task details:
- Title: Clear, specific description (e.g., “Create user authentication endpoint”)
- Type: Feature, Bug Fix, Refactor, or Test
- Priority: Low, Medium, High, or Critical
- Description: Detailed requirements, acceptance criteria, and any relevant context
- Attach any relevant files, designs, or API specifications
- Click “Submit Task”
Step 6: Monitor Progress¶
Your Senior Architect will:
- Review the task and write optimized prompts
- Inject the right project context into the AI Factory
- Generate code using the best-suited LLM
- Run automated QA and security guardrails
- Review and approve the output
- Submit a Pull Request to your repository
You can track progress in real-time from the AI Tasks dashboard, which shows:
- Task status (Pending, In Progress, Under Review, Completed)
- Token consumption per task
- Time estimates and actual completion time
- PR links and code review comments
Step 7: Review and Merge¶
When a task is completed:
- You’ll receive a notification (email or Slack, based on your preferences)
- Review the Pull Request in your repository
- The code has already passed through:
- Automated vulnerability scans
- AI-driven unit tests
- Human review by your Senior Architect
- Add any additional comments if needed
- Merge the PR when satisfied
Best Practices¶
Writing Effective AI Tasks¶
- Be specific: Instead of “Build the backend,” write “Create REST endpoint POST /api/users with email validation and password hashing”
- Include acceptance criteria: Define what “done” looks like
- Provide context: Link to designs, API docs, or related PRs
- Start small: Begin with well-scoped tasks to calibrate expectations
Managing Token Budget¶
- Monitor the Real-Time Token Audit dashboard daily
- Use the LiteLLM-powered analytics to identify which features consume the most tokens
- Set project-level caps to prevent unexpected charges
- Review the monthly token report to optimize future task submissions
Working with Your Senior Architect¶
- Schedule a weekly sync to align on priorities
- Provide feedback on code quality and architectural decisions
- Share your coding standards and naming conventions early
- Use the integrated chat for quick questions and clarifications
