2. On the left sidebar, select **Generative AI**.
3. Click **Create index now** to set up a new index for the guides.
4. To create a new guide, click **New Guide**.
5. Choose the type of guide you want to create:
* **Shopping Guide**: a general guide for a category.
* **Category Guide**: a guide for a specific category, focusing on specific factors.
* **Comparison Guide**: compare multiple products side by side.
6. Specify the products you want to include in your guides by providing the product IDs or the category's [facet value](/doc/guides/managing-results/refine-results/faceting),
depending on the type of guide you decided to create.
7. Choose the tone for the guide:
* **Natural.** A natural tone which makes complex topics easier to understand.
* **Friendly.** An amiable tone which builds a rapport with the reader.
* **Professional.** A professional and serious tone to lend credibility to the information.
8. Choose a language which matches the content language of your source index:
* English
* French
* German
* Portuguese
* Spanish

10. A title and description will be generated for each guide.
Select which of these guides you want to create and click **Generate**.
You can edit these guides, including their titles and descriptions, later.
## Edit the guide
Once the guides have been generated, you can edit their content directly in the guide detail page.
## Next step
If you're satisfied with your guides,
[integrate them into your site](/doc/guides/algolia-ai/generative-experiences/guides/using-guides).
Before integrating, decide where the guide will be displayed on your website.
Since integrating the guides requires coding, you may need to collaborate with your engineering team.
To streamline the process, see the implementation guides and use the UI components.
After integrating the guides into your website, you can manage and modify guides without coding.
You only need to write code if you want to show the guides in other parts of your website.
