How do I get started in 5 minutes?

The first steps to set up your Agentova workspace after signing up: onboarding, Brand DNA, and your first conversation with the agents.

Once you've signed up, a few simple steps are all it takes to get your AI agents up and running. This guide covers the initial onboarding, filling in your Brand DNA, and your first conversation with the agents, so you can get started in under five minutes.

1. Complete the onboarding questionnaire

The first time you log in, an onboarding flow appears automatically. It starts right away: Elisa asks you her questions one at a time (goals, industry, online presence…), and you can complete it in a few minutes.

First onboarding question: choosing your industry

The onboarding collects the information that will form the foundation of your workspace: your top goals, your industry, and your online presence (website, Facebook, or Instagram). If you have no online presence ("No online presence" button), Agentova asks you instead about any competitors you have ("I don't have any competitors" button if you don't have any) and for a description of your business.

At the end of the flow, Agentova analyzes the information you provided and automatically builds a first version of your AI Brain. You get a summary of what was identified about your brand, your target customers, your offers, and your competitors. The more precise the information you provide, the better the agents will be at producing relevant content and replies from the very first conversations.

2. Fill in your Brand DNA

The Brand DNA is the heart of the AI Brain. It captures your company's identity and determines the quality of the replies your agents produce. To access it, open the AI Brain from the sidebar, then click "Edit DNA" (or the "Brand DNA" card).

There are three tabs to complete; on the AI Brain page, the "questions left" card shows what you still need to fill in:

  • "Your identity" — website to sync, name, logo, business description, differentiators, colors

  • "Your voice" — tone of voice, words to favor or avoid, writing guidelines

  • "Your market" — industry, niche, target audience, competitors, customer problems, service area

Automatic sync from your website

To avoid entering everything by hand, you can enter your website URL and click "Sync". Agentova then analyzes the site and automatically pre-fills several Brand DNA fields — the fastest way to get a usable AI Brain.

Just enter your website address (for example agentova.ai): https:// is added automatically and www. is accepted. You can also choose "Facebook" or "Instagram" as the source if you don't have a website.

3. Start your first conversation

Once your Brand DNA is filled in, go back to the Dashboard to talk with the agents. It offers a group chat with all 9 agents: ask a question in the input box and the best-suited agent takes over the reply.

You can also open a one-on-one chat with an agent by clicking its card directly. The "Lock agent" button ensures that only this agent replies to you, and the ⌘J shortcut (the "+ New chat" button in the sidebar) opens a new conversation at any time.

4. Follow your personalized missions

To go further, the Missions panel in the sidebar offers a list of guided tasks tailored to your business. Each mission contains subtasks with explainer videos and concrete actions: connect an integration, create your first piece of content, set up a support agent, and so on.

Missions aren't mandatory, but they help you gradually discover the features of the different Hubs (Creative, Acquisition, Mail & Chatbot, SEO, Phone, Meetings) without missing an important step.

FAQ

Can I complete my Brand DNA later?

Yes. Your Brand DNA remains accessible at any time from the AI Brain. The “questions left” card in the AI Brain shows you what's left to complete. The more detailed your DNA, the more closely the agents' replies match your identity.

How long does the initial setup really take?

The bare minimum — onboarding, website sync, then your first chat — takes less than five minutes. A fully customized Brand DNA usually takes an extra 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the level of detail you want.

Sync isn't working. What should I check?

Check that the address is complete (a domain name with its extension, for example mysite.com) and that the site is publicly accessible. If the format is correct but the sync still fails, you can fill in your Brand DNA manually, tab by tab.

What if I don't have a website yet?

You can fill in your Brand DNA manually, tab by tab. Syncing from a URL is an option to save time, but it isn't mandatory. You can still enter every field directly in the AI Brain.

Do I need to connect an integration right away?

No. The agents reply from your very first chat without any integration. External connections (Instagram, Gmail, etc.) are only needed when you want to automate actions on a specific channel or from the corresponding Hub.
