# Creating Projects

> How to create and organize projects in Finch Fusion

# Creating Projects

Projects are the foundation of your work in Finch Fusion. Each project serves as a container for related documents, reports, and research activities.

## What is a Project?

A project groups together:

* **Documents** - Source materials like PDFs, Word documents, and text files
* **Reports** - AI-generated reports based on your documents
* **Chat History** - Conversations with the AI assistant
* **Knowledge Graphs** - Visual representations of entity relationships

Think of a project as a research workspace focused on a specific topic, company, or initiative.

## Creating a New Project

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Project Menu">
    Click the project selector dropdown at the top of the sidebar. This shows your existing projects and creation options.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Click New Project">
    Select the **New Project** option from the dropdown menu.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter Project Details">
    In the dialog that appears:

    * Enter a descriptive **Project Name** (e.g., "Tesla Q4 Analysis" or "Healthcare Market Research")
    * The name should help you quickly identify the project's purpose
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the Project">
    Click **Create** to finalize. Your new project will be created and automatically selected.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Project Naming Best Practices

Choose project names that are:

* **Descriptive** - Include the subject or company name
* **Time-specific** - Add quarters, years, or dates when relevant
* **Unique** - Distinguish from similar projects

## After Creating a Project

Once your project is created, you can:

1. **Upload Documents** - Add source materials for analysis
2. **Generate Reports** - Create AI-powered reports from your documents
3. **Share with Team** - Invite collaborators to contribute

<Info>
  Empty projects are automatically saved. You can add documents and generate reports at any time.
