First-Time Setup

When you access Xio for the first time, the app will walk you through the onboarding process.

You’ll be prompted to:

• Name your first workspace

• Choose an LLM provider (OpenAI, local, or Ollama)

• Set your embedding method

• Configure your vector database

• Generate your admin key

After that, you’ll land in the main workspace view. This is where you’ll upload files, ask questions, and manage your sources.

Make sure your .env file is set up before starting the server. Here’s an example:

envCopyEditLLM_PROVIDER=local
EMBEDDING_PROVIDER=openai
VECTOR_DB=chroma
ALLOW_FILE_UPLOAD=true

You can update your .env later to switch providers or enable integrations like Whisper for audio transcription.
