Quickstart: Build and run your first Space

Step-by-step guide to building and running your first Space in SpaceLab.

Updated July 19, 2026

This walks through building and running your first Space, start to finish.

Before you start

You don't need anything set up beforehand; SpaceLab works from a blank canvas. It helps to know what kind of pipeline you want first, even roughly.

Build and run your first Space

  1. From SpaceLab, click New Space. You land on a blank canvas.
  2. On the landing prompt, either describe what you want in the Ask AI box ("Generate a 5-second product video from an uploaded photo") and let it build the graph, or choose Start manually to drag nodes yourself.
  3. Add an Input node (e.g. Image input), a generation node (e.g. Image or Kling 2.5), and a Download node.
  4. Connect them: drag from a node's output socket to the next node's input socket.
  5. Configure each node in the inspector (right panel): set the prompt, model, aspect ratio, and so on.
  6. Click Run in the bottom toolbar. Watch nodes turn from pending to running to completed in the run drawer.
  7. When you're happy, click Publish to turn it into a reusable form.

What "good" looks like: a first session ends with one Space that runs end to end and produces a real output asset, not just a canvas full of unconnected nodes.
