## Step 2: Create an xAI team

Next, you will need to create an xAI team to get into the console:

* Create a new team by entering a Team name and description.
* Click **Create Team**.
  * You can skip inviting members if not necessary.
  * Skip the API key creation for now - we’ll handle that later.
  * Click **Go to Home** to return to the console dashboard.
