Updated: 2026-07-17

> There are now twenty end-to-end use-case tutorials spanning ten fields — geoscience, ML, robotics, GIS, medical imaging and more — each with a visual walkthrough. The best steps surface on the landing page as a browsable "dex" of pipeline nodes you can filter and deep-link into the exact step.

## Show, don't tell

The fastest way to understand a platform is to watch it solve a real problem. So we wrote **twenty** of them: complete, step-by-step tutorials that each take a dataset from Load to Shape to Deliver, across **ten fields** — geoscience, machine learning, robotics, computer vision, GIS, medical imaging, manufacturing, digital twins, and more.

Every tutorial has a numbered visual **walkthrough**, the exact pipeline nodes it uses, and the concrete results you should expect — so you can follow along and reproduce them.

## A dex of nodes

The most interesting steps from those tutorials surface on the [landing page](/) as a browsable **dex** — pipeline nodes styled like the ones on the canvas, colored by whether they Load, Shape, or Deliver. Filter them, open one for the full detail, and deep-link straight to that step inside its tutorial.

## Explore

Head to [Use Cases](/use-cases), filter by your field, and find a pipeline close to what you're building. Then open the [docs](/docs) and make it your own.

## FAQ
### What fields do the tutorials cover?

Ten — including geoscience, machine learning, robotics, computer vision, GIS, medical imaging, manufacturing, and digital twins. Filter the Use Cases gallery by field, difficulty, or search.

### What is the dex on the landing page?

A gallery of highlighted walkthrough steps from across the tutorials, styled as pipeline "nodes". Each card opens a detail modal and links straight to that step in its tutorial.

### Can I follow a tutorial end to end?

Yes. Each use case is a real project — Load the data, Shape it, Deliver the result — with a numbered walkthrough, the exact nodes used, and the results you should get.
