You have two options to begin:

* Use the [AI Program Setup Assistant](/knowledge-base/using-partnero-ai/create-a-program-with-ai) to create a program faster by suggesting the type and settings based on your goals. This can guide everything from commission structure to rewards
* Use the prompt on the dashboard — click **Get Started** under the type of program you want (Affiliate or Referral & Loyalty).

Below you'll find detailed program setup instructions based on the program type:

* [Create an affiliate program](/knowledge-base/program-management/create-and-customize-an-affiliate-program)[](/knowledge-base/program-management/create-and-customize-an-affiliate-program)
