Introduction
Getting started
In this tutorial, we’ll walk through the steps to get set up with Refuel, and building your first data transformation application.
That’s it! You’ve now built your first application with Refuel 🎉
1
Get access to Refuel
Make sure you are able to log in to https://app.refuel.ai. If you don’t have access yet, sign up here.
2
Create a new project
Once you log into Refuel Cloud, the first thing you’ll do is create a project.
A project is a logical grouping for your datasets, models, and applications.
3
Upload your first dataset
In order to build your first application, you’ll need to upload a dataset, a collection of rows of structured/semi-structured data that you want to transform with LLMs.The easiest way to get started is to use our sample dataset. It is a .csv file consisting of a collection of user reviews of businesses on Yelp.com. In the UI, click on “Add Dataset”, and upload the CSV file:

Define your first task
Once you’ve uploaded your dataset, you’ll need to define a task. A task is a set of LLM guidelines for the transformation you want to perform on your dataset.For example, for the Yelp dataset, you might want to create a task that categorizes the sentiment of the review as positive, negative, or neutral.Tasks can be fairly complex and consist of a chained execution of multiple steps. For more information on how to define and iterate on task definitions, see here.
5
Improve quality with feedback
Once you’ve defined a task and saved it, Refuel will start generating LLM outputs for your dataset. You can review outputs, and provide feedback to iteratively improve quality.
6
Deploy your task as an application
Once you’ve iterated on task guidelines and improved output quality with feedback, you can deploy it as an application. Think of an application as a versioned snapshot of a Task that is deployed behind an API to serve realtime traffic.Any deployed application can be used to transform new data in realtime. For example, you can use the sentiment analysis application to transform new Yelp reviews as they come in:
The
The Playground tab is a great way to test out your application, and retrieve the relevant code snippets to integrate it programmatically into your stack.For more information on how to deploy and manage applications, see here.
