Getting Started

Your first steps as an AI startup founder — open the hub, buy your first rig, train a brain.

Welcome to NeuronIdle. You are running a one-person AI startup. Your goal is simple: train models, sell them, buy better hardware, train better models.

Your first run

  1. Open the Hub. This is your dashboard — hardware, brains, money, contracts.
  2. Check your rig. You start with a basic CPU and a tiny model slot.
  3. Pick a dataset. Datasets shape the brain’s personality and quality ceiling.
  4. Run training. Press start. Watch the loss curve. Wait.
  5. Sell on the IT market. Fair price, no risk. Use the money to buy better gear.

Key concepts

  • Brain = a trained model. Has quality, val/loss, and modules.
  • Rig = your hardware setup. CPU, GPU, RAM, cooling.
  • Cu / Nu / Ru = the game’s currencies. Cu is the main one early.
  • Modules = cognitive upgrades. Memory, search, dialog, autonomy.

Next steps

Once you’ve sold your first brain, read the next guide on hardware tiers and overclocking.
