## Try a Solution (Recommended for New Users)

The fastest way to see Turbine in action is to install and try a complete solution. The [AI SOC Solution](docId\:pf--Gsd2bMOb0VydARyEi) provides a ready-to-use security operations workflow that demonstrates alert triage, threat intelligence enrichment, case management, and AI-powered analysis. This solution shows you how Turbine components work together in a real-world scenario.

For detailed installation and configuration instructions, see the [Solutions and Applications Guide](https://docs.swimlane.com/solutions).

**Why start with a solution?**

- See end-to-end workflows in action
- Understand how applications, playbooks, and components integrate
- Learn best practices from a working example
- Get productive faster with pre-built automation

### Build Applications and Applets

A great feature of Turbine is the ability to build and work with applications and applets and playbooks in tandem.

Let's start off with building [Applications and Applets](docId\:S5P9OGDnXYUKNVYU0rJ70). Building applications/applets first allows you to quickly and more easily link data from playbooks.

### Choose Assets and Connectors and Components

To optimize the workflow and orchestration features, start by choosing and configuring [assets](https://docs.swimlane.com/assets). If you do not see the asset that you want, you can create a custom asset. Sometimes, assets are bundled with [Connectors](docId\:vuockVnhiDx3w01LtDMno), so if you do not see the asset you want, navigate to the [Swimlane Content](https://docs.swimlane.com/swimlane-content) to install connectors for a technology that performs an action relating to your asset, or install components, which ingest and enrich data in your playbook.

### Build Playbooks

Next, go ahead and build [Playbooks Overview](docId\:Dp-AGNnnE2MJJFGtV2LZ5) using the assets, connectors, and native actions to create an end-to-end solution/task.

### Use Organization Tools

To assist you to organize and access Turbine tools, you can create [Workspaces](docId\:sLYBkvzLErvarRgufede6), [Dashboards](docId\:Hv315wXqWovtBsQtbRuJj), and [Reports](docId\:fMaJTOUzkwV32iGu2FXRc).
