# Get started with AI Labs

Set up a class in AI Labs: create an organization, invite a learner, and give them a course with its first
module to open.

## Before you begin

You need to be an Admin of your TIR account and signed in to TIR in Delhi. On a prepaid account, you
need enough infra credits for an hourly plan. Have the learner's email address and one course file, such as a
lecture PDF, ready.

## Create the organization

1. In the **AI LABS** group of the TIR side menu, select **AI Labs**. The AI Labs portal opens.
2. Select **Create Organization**.
3. Enter an **Organization Name** and a **Description**.
4. Choose **Hourly** as the **Plan Type**, and a plan. You can stop an hourly organization whenever nobody
   needs it.
5. Select **Create**.

The organization opens on its home page, with a **Default** group that lets learners launch one instance on
each plan with 5 GB of GPU memory.

## Invite a learner

1. In the organization, select **Add Member**.
2. Enter the learner's email address, choose the learner role, and leave the group as **Default**.
3. Send the invitation.

The learner gets an email and joins the organization when they accept it.

## Create a course with a module

1. Open **Courses** and add a course. Enter a **Course name**, a description, and the **Professor** details,
   then create it.
2. Open the course, select **Add Module**, enter a module name, choose your file, and select **Add**.
3. On the course's **Settings** tab, choose **By Student mail**, enter the learner's email address, and
   confirm.

## Check the course

The module is listed in the course's **Courseware**. Once the learner accepts the invitation, they find the
course under **Courses**, open the module, and download its file.

## What to do next

- Give learners more services or larger plans with your own
  [groups](/tir/ai-labs/how-to/manage-groups-and-members/#create-a-group).
- Add a [shared dataset](/tir/ai-labs/how-to/create-a-course/#share-a-dataset-with-the-course) for the course.
- Share the [learner guide](/tir/ai-labs/how-to/use-ai-labs-as-a-learner/) with your learners.
- Stop the organization between classes to pause its billing. See
