How to Start

Open https://huggingface.co/join. Enter an email address you check often. Your Gmail address, or the email you use for GitHub, is fine.

Create a password, click Next, and complete the account steps shown. Sign in when you are done.

Open https://huggingface.co/spaces/wr92-course/test. In App, choose an example image and try Run AI Detection. The first run may take longer while the model downloads.

Open Files to see the files you will receive in your own copy. You are looking at a working example, not a blank project.

On the starter Space, open the three-dot menu at the top right and choose Duplicate this Space.

Set Owner to your own account and give the Space a clear name. Set Visibility to Public so your instructor can open it. The duplicate form starts with Private selected.

Click Duplicate Space. The complete starter project is copied for you; you do not need to paste each code file by hand.

Open your new Space. Select Files, open index.html, and use Edit to change the visible title and short introduction to describe your idea.

Save with a short commit message using Commit changes to main. Then return to App and check that your new text appears.

To add a new file or upload a replacement, use Files → Add file. Save the change with a commit.

You may keep improving object detection or change the template into another AI application. Give visitors a clear title, a short explanation, an obvious input, and a result they can understand.

Edit the relevant files below. Keep the README.md configuration lines sdk: static and app_file: index.html while using this browser-based route.

This Static Space runs HTML, CSS, and browser JavaScript. Uploading a Python file alone will not run a Python server. A server-based app needs a different Space type and may require a paid plan; check with your instructor before taking that route.

Never place an API key or access token in public HTML or JavaScript files.

Make the App page answer these questions in the first few seconds: What does it do? What should I try? What result should I expect?

Update README.md with a brief project summary: purpose, input and output, AI model or service, what you changed from the starter, and one test or limitation.

Return to App and wait for the Space to finish updating. Try at least one real input from beginning to end and check the output. If a model loads for the first time, allow extra time.

Open your Space link in a private browser window to check that other people can view it. If it shows 404, check Settings → Visibility and make it Public.

Submit the Space page URL, not the embedded .hf.space address, plus two sentences saying what your app does and what you changed.
