Getting Started

Quick Setup

Go from a blank account to a live scored feed in under 5 minutes.

Three steps: fill in your Brand Brief, add at least one Monitor, then wait up to 30 minutes for your Feed to populate.

Step 1 — Fill in your Brand Brief

Click Brief in the sidebar. You need at minimum: a product description (what you do and who it's for) and an Ideal Customer Profile. Both need to be at least 20 characters — the more specific, the better the AI scores.

Fill in the product description and ICP first — these unlock AI monitor suggestions.
TipBe specific in your ICP. "Freelance graphic designers who bill hourly and work solo" scores posts far more accurately than "creatives".

Step 2 — Add a Monitor

Go to Monitors → New Monitor. You can either write a query yourself or click "Suggest with AI" to get 10 ready-to-use queries generated from your Brief. Pick one or more and activate them.

AI suggestions are grouped by precision — tight queries (5–30 posts/day), medium, and broad. Start with 2–3 tight ones.

Step 3 — Wait, then check your Feed

Monitors run every 30 minutes. The first fetch happens within 30 minutes of activation. Once posts arrive, they're scored and appear in your Feed sorted by relevance score.

NoteIf your Feed is empty after 60 minutes, paste your monitor query directly into x.com/search or Reddit search. If it returns no results there, the query needs to be broader.
