# Quickstart

> Create an evaluation, collect your first votes, and read the result.

This guide takes you from a question, "which of these outputs is better?", to an evidence-backed answer. You need a HeyBee account and a tablet or desktop for the setup steps.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create an evaluation">
    Go to **Evaluations** and select **New evaluation**. Give it a name, pick the output type (text, image, audio, or video), and choose **Which option wins?** to compare candidates head to head.

    Keep the shared input as `prompt` unless your data uses a different field. Outputs that share the same prompt are the ones compared against each other.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add outputs">
    Open the **Outputs** tab and add at least two outputs for each prompt. Paste a table, upload a CSV, drop media files, or import a Hugging Face dataset. HeyBee validates everything up front and shows exactly what to fix before collection can start.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start collection and share a link">
    On **Setup & collect**, select **Start collection** once the readiness checks pass. Then create a voting link under **Voting links** with **New link**. The URL is copied to your clipboard, ready to share. Voters do not need an account.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Vote, or let others vote">
    Anyone with the link sees two outputs side by side and picks the better one. Each decided comparison costs one credit; ties and skips are free. The Free plan includes 100 credits every month.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read the result">
    Open **Results**. The verdict card shows the leader, the confidence score, and a concrete next step, for example "Collect 12 more votes before finalizing." When the signal is strong enough, select **Complete evaluation** to lock in the answer.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Prefer code? The [Python SDK](/developers/python-sdk) and [CLI](/developers/cli) run this same workflow end to end.
</Tip>

## Where things live

Every evaluation has the same tabs:

| Tab                 | What it is for                                                                        |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Setup & collect** | Configuration, readiness checks, voting links, and collection controls                |
| **Outputs**         | Your uploaded or imported outputs (called **Configurations** in settings evaluations) |
| **Results**         | The verdict, rankings, and per-criterion outcomes                                     |
| **Reliability**     | Individual votes, voter quality, and written feedback                                 |

Phones are great for voting, monitoring collection, reviewing results, and managing your account. Creating evaluations and importing data need a tablet or desktop.
