Quickstart

Sign in, add your first documents, and ask your first question.

This page takes you from an empty workspace to a first answer. trellismem runs in the cloud, so there is nothing to install.

1. Sign in

Open app.trellismem.com and sign in with the email and password you were given. There is no public sign-up, so if you have no account yet, ask a teammate to create one for you on the Members page.

Once you are in, open Settings and add a passkey or an authenticator app. See Security and access.

2. Create a dataset

A dataset is a container for related knowledge: a project, a customer, a team handbook. Everything in trellismem belongs to one, and permissions are granted per dataset.

Open Datasets and create one. Give it a name you would recognise in a list of fifty.

3. Add documents

Open the dataset and upload files. PDFs, text, Markdown, CSV, images, audio and source code are all accepted.

The optional Category box tags every file in the upload. Categories keep related entities together in the graph, so use one when the dataset mixes topics, for example contracts and meeting-notes.

After the upload, trellismem reads each file, extracts the people, things and relationships in it, and adds them to the dataset’s graph. Large uploads take a few minutes.

4. Ask a question

Open Search and ask something the documents can answer. The answer is written from the facts and passages trellismem found, and only from datasets you can read.

Good first questions name something specific:

  • Who owns the renewal for Acme?
  • What did we decide about the pricing change in March?
  • Which services call the billing API?
