# Build a graph with AI

AI Build takes you from CSV files to a ready-to-explore graph in minutes. It drafts a schema, loads your data, installs queries, and surfaces quick insights, fully guided and automated.

## Prerequisites

Before you start:

* Your data is prepared as CSV/TSV files with headers.  
   * Total upload size limit: 1 GB  
   * Maximum total number of columns across all files: 120

## Entry Points

* During first‑time organization sign‑up, a workspace is automatically provisioned  
![1 setupworkspace](_images/1-setupworkspace.png)
* From the Workspace Connect menu (opens Import CSV directly)

## Steps

1. Set up your workspace (if prompted)
2. Choose your onboarding path

   1. Select **Import My Data** to open Import CSV.  
   > [!NOTE]  
   > Prefer to explore a sample solution first? Choose "Explore Our Anti‑Fraud Solution" or select "Explore on my own" to go to [Explore graph](../graph-development/explore-graph/index.md)
3. Import your CSV files and grant consent for AI usage  
   1. Accept the AI usage consent prompt

   2. Upload CSV/TSV files (with headers)

   > [!NOTE]  
   > On the Import CSV page, you can select which uploaded CSV files to include for AI schema generation. You can exclude files you don't want to use.
4. Review your AI‑drafted schema (optional manual edits)

> [!NOTE]  
> Want to fine‑tune your schema mappings? Open Manual Edit and refer to [Get Started with Schema Designer](../graph-development/design-schema/index.md)
5. Build the graph with AI  
The system creates the schema, imports data, and installs queries. This typically takes 3–5 minutes.

6. View results and choose your next actions  
See the schema, basic stats, and key insights. Click **Get Started** to choose your next step.

## Troubleshooting

* If an error appears during schema creation or data load, adjust your CSV/TSV files (headers, separators, column counts) and try again.
* Keep the page open while AI builds the graph.
