> Atelier by AIncient Labs — an AI-first, chat-driven site builder built on Drupal, where the AI proposes and you approve

- **Getting started**
- [Introduction](https://aincient-labs.com/docs): Atelier by AIncient Labs — an AI-first, chat-driven site builder built on Drupal, where the AI proposes and you approve
- [Quickstart](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/quickstart): Install Atelier and reach your console in a few minutes
- [Connect AI & choose models](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/onboarding): Connect your AI providers and bind a model to each role so every studio is ready to work.

- **The console**
- [Overview](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/console): Your workspace for building the site by chatting — organised into studios, with a human-approval model at its core
- [AI proposes, you approve](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/approval-model): The agent works on a draft and shows a preview — your live site changes only when you press Publish.
- [Conversations & threads](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/threads): Keep each task in its own conversation so your work never gets tangled.
- [Finding your way around](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/navigation): Move between studios, the live site, and the back office without losing your place.
- [Your account](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/account): See who you are and manage your profile without leaving the console.

- **Design System**
- [Overview](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/brand-studio): Set your site's visual identity by chatting — the agent previews brand directions, and you publish the one you want
- [Editing your brand by hand](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/brand-editor): Tune every colour, font, and shape in the Design System studio's editor — with a live preview and nothing saved until you publish
- [Accessibility & contrast](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/accessibility): The Design System studio checks your colours against WCAG AA so a hard-to-read brand never slips through

- **Globals**
- [Overview](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/globals-studio): Shape your site's header, footer, and brand identity by chatting — the agent previews the chrome, and you publish
- [Site details & error pages](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/site-settings): Set your system email and point your front page, 404, and 403 slots at pages you've built — from the Globals studio
- [Header & footer menus](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/menus): Manage your navigation yourself in the Globals studio — links that track your pages, nest as deep as you like, and publish site-wide

- **Building pages**
- [Overview](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/page-studio): Build a page by chatting with the agent, preview every change live, and publish only when you're happy
- [Component library](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/components): The curated set of sections the page agent composes — broad enough to build marketing sites, blogs, and news sites without bespoke components
- [Editing sections by hand](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/structured-editor): Edit any section's fields directly in the Pages studio — no chat required — and watch the same draft re-render live.
- [Images](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/images): Add images to a page and they're automatically responsive, right-sized, and fast — no settings to tune
- [How your page appears elsewhere](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/seo-presence): Edit your page's SEO, social card, and search result — and preview the real result before you publish.
- [Drafts, revisions & publishing](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/editorial-workflow): Save work without going live, move pages through review, and rely on a full revision history you can fall back on.
- [One writer at a time](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/collaboration): Atelier hands one person the pen per page, so edits never silently overwrite a teammate's work.

- **Library**
- [Overview](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/media-studio): One shelf for every image and reusable block your site uses — edit an image once and every page updates
- [Generating & editing images with AI](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/ai-images): Create and edit images just by describing them — the agent proposes, you keep or discard
- [Alt text for accessibility](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/alt-text): Describe an image once and Atelier uses it everywhere — accessible pages, no per-page busywork

- **Languages**
- [Multilingual pages](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/translation): Reach more visitors in their own language — translate pages and let readers switch on the live site

- **Own your data**
- [Email delivery](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/email): Atelier sends transactional email — password resets, account and update notices — through a transport you choose: log-only, SMTP, or an API provider
- [Privacy & consent](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/privacy): Atelier is privacy-first by default — fonts are self-hosted or consent-gated, and visitors choose what third parties to allow
- [Export a static site](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/static-export): Take your whole site with you as plain files you can host anywhere — you always own your data
- [Host your exported site](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/deploy): Put your static export online — Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, Vercel, GitHub Pages, or any static host
- [The System back-office](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/system): A deliberately small set of technical settings, kept out of your way — the console stays home

- **When something's wrong**
- [When something's wrong](https://aincient-labs.com/docs/troubleshooting): Run a checkup on your Atelier — and let it repair most problems for you
