Getting Started

Getting Started

This guide takes you from signing in to your first working dashboard in a few minutes.

Sign in

Kutta uses secure sign-in powered by Auth0. From the homepage, choose Get Started (or Log In) and sign in or create an account. New accounts may be asked to verify their email address before continuing. Once authenticated, you land on your Home workspace.

Desktop recommendedKutta is an interactive, data-dense application designed for larger screens. On very small viewports you may be prompted to switch to a device at least 700px wide.

The Home workspace

Home is where all your dashboards live. From here you can open an existing dashboard, rename or delete one, or create a new dashboard from a data source. Every dashboard you create is saved to your account.

Create your first dashboard

There are three ways to start a dashboard, depending on where your data lives:

  1. 1
    Upload a fileDrag and drop or browse for a file. CSV, TSV, JSON, Excel, Parquet, and Arrow are supported.
  2. 2
    Connect a databaseEnter connection details for a table in PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, or a managed provider such as Supabase, Neon, or Amazon Aurora.
  3. 3
    Connect a platformAuthorize an advertising or e-commerce platform such as Google Ads, Meta, or Shopify, then choose the fields and date range to import.

See [Connecting Data](/docs/connecting-data) for the full details of each option.

Dashboard generation

After you choose a data source, Kutta ingests the data and generates your dashboard in the background. A progress indicator tracks the pipeline as it moves from pending to processing to completed. Larger datasets and platform imports take longer, since the data has to be fetched and prepared before charts can be built.

TipYou can keep working while a dashboard generates. When it finishes, open it from Home to start exploring your charts.

Inside a dashboard

Open a dashboard to enter the workspace. The top navigation bar gives you access to the core tools:

  • Chat: ask questions about your data in natural language.
  • Analyze: open drill-down mode to filter and interrogate a chart.
  • Sync Data: refresh the dashboard with the latest data from its source.
  • Share: capture and share a snapshot of the dashboard.

From here, continue to [Building Charts](/docs/building-charts) to add and configure visualizations.
