The Onboarding Wizard (New Accounts Only)
First-time users are walked through a short setup wizard. It only appears once, on your first login.
Step 1 — Your Name
What should we call you? Optional. Click Skip to continue.
Step 2 — Your Product
Paste your product homepage or product page URL — the platform auto-extracts a description. Or type one manually. Skippable, but completing it significantly improves every AI output.
Step 3 — Your Target Industry
Select one industry from 10 options. The AI uses this to tailor persona behavior and buyer language. Skippable.
Step 4 — Your Biggest Sales Challenge
Select one from 7 options (e.g., objection handling, competitive deals, shortening the sales cycle). Skippable.
Step 5 — Choose Your Personas (Required)
Select exactly 3 buyer personas from the full catalog. These are the AI buyers you'll practice against and generate content for. This step cannot be skipped.
Step 6 — Summary
Review your selections and click Start Practicing.

Setting Up Product Context
Product context personalizes every AI output — sessions, buyer intel docs, messaging playbooks, slide decks, and emails all reflect your specific product when context is set.
Product context is set within each tool the first time you use it. When you open any content generator or practice session, you'll see a product input field where you can:
- Paste your product homepage URL and click Extract — the platform pulls your product name, description, and key value props automatically
- Or type a product description manually
Once saved, that context is used across all tools in your session.

Selecting and Changing Personas
Personas are the foundation of BIA. Every session, document, and piece of content is tailored to the 3 personas you choose.
To select or change your personas:
- Return to the home screen (click the ← back button from any session view)
- Your current personas are shown as cards on the home screen

Persona types available include roles across:
- C-Suite (CEO, CFO, CIO, CMO, CRO)

- Manager and Practitioner level
- Multiple industry verticals
Profile Settings
Click the ⚙️ Settings button in the top navigation to open your Profile Settings.
The settings panel contains one option:
I'm at an early stage (checkbox) — "Tools adjust prompts for founders without a website, case studies, or lots of content yet. Uncheck once your company has matured."
