# Getting started

> Welcome to Playlab. A short tour of how Playlab is organized and where to go next.

You've been invited to join an organization or workspace. Welcome to Playlab. We're excited to see what you build with us.

## Where to start

Playlab organizes everything into four containers: organizations, workspaces, apps, and collections. Get oriented before you build.

## Big ideas about AI

These ideas shape how we build Playlab. The latest update follows the same approach.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="AI as a thinking partner" icon="bulb">
    Playlab apps work best when they support a learner's thinking. We design for productive struggle.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Context is what makes AI useful for education" icon="book">
    A general AI assistant becomes a tutor when it has the right context: the curriculum, the standards, the student's prior work, the goal of the lesson. Playlab gives educators a way to assemble that context.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Trust and safety belong in the core" icon="shield">
    Privacy, flagging, and admin oversight are part of the product surface. Centralized monitoring and granular building permissions live alongside the build tools.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What if my org admin hasn't set anything up yet?">
    You can still sign in and explore. Your view will be limited until your admin invites you to a workspace or sets your role. If you can't make progress, ask your admin to add you to a workspace.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Where do I see other people's apps?">
    If they have shared an app with you or with a workspace you belong to, the app appears in your dashboard. Public apps are findable through search.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I undo something I did by accident?">
    Most actions in Playlab are reversible. Deleting an app or workspace is not. If you delete by accident, contact [support@playlab.ai](mailto:support@playlab.ai) within a few days and we can usually recover it.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
