Where to Start on the Edge Impulse Website

Updated

Start with the Get started button if you want to try the platform, or Book a demo if you need a guided evaluation. The homepage presents these as the two primary entry points, alongside a separate Expert-led trial option. Developers who prefer to explore on their own should go to Docs and Projects; teams building a business case should go to Pricing, the ROI Calculator, and Buy vs Build.

If you are a developer

Go to Developers → Docs first. The homepage lists Applications, Docs, Projects, Forum, For Students, and For Educators under the developer menu. A sensible order is Docs for concepts, Projects for working examples, and the Forum when you hit a specific problem. The platform is described as supporting MCUs, NPUs, CPUs, GPUs, gateways, sensors and cameras, and Docker containers, so check the hardware category you plan to use before committing time.

If you are evaluating for a company

Use Book a demo or Start a POC. Both forms ask for name, company, work email, and a description of what you need, and the page states a team member will contact you. Before that call, read Buy vs Build and run the ROI Calculator so the conversation starts from your own numbers. Pricing Plans and Support Packages are listed under Pricing; the site references a subscribe path but does not publish plan amounts on the homepage, so treat cost as something to confirm on the pricing page or in the demo.

If you are a student or educator

Use the For Students and For Educators pages rather than the commercial demo form. These sit in the developer menu and are the intended route for academic use.

Practical notes

  • The homepage also offers Subscribe for updates and a Resources section with blog posts, case studies, a content library, and guides such as the Ultimate Guide to Edge AI and the Edge AI ROI Calculator — useful background reading before a demo.
  • Login is separate from Get started; returning users should log in rather than re-entering through the trial form.
  • The site uses cookies with an accept-all or functional-only choice, which you will see on first visit.

In short: individual exploration starts at Get started or Docs; a guided or commercial evaluation starts at Book a demo or Start a POC, backed by Buy vs Build and the ROI Calculator.
