The KozoPulse onboarding wizard is designed to get you monitoring your brand in minutes. This comprehensive guide walks you through each step of the process, explaining what happens behind the scenes and how to make the best choices for your brand.

Why Onboarding Matters

The onboarding process is your fastest path to actionable insights. Instead of manually creating products and pulses, KozoPulse uses AI to discover your products and generate relevant monitoring queries automatically.

What You'll Accomplish

  • Discover products and services from your website automatically
  • Generate AI-powered monitoring queries tailored to your brand
  • Select which AI models to monitor (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini)
  • Launch your first brand visibility campaign
  • Start collecting share of voice and sentiment data

Step 1: Product Discovery

The first step uses AI to analyze your website and discover your products and services.

Entering Your Website

  1. Your organization website is automatically pre-filled from your profile
  2. You can edit it if needed or enter a specific product page
  3. Click Discover Products to start the AI analysis

The AI will crawl your website and identify distinct products or services mentioned on your pages.

Reviewing Discovered Products

You'll see a list of products with important metadata:

Product Name
The AI-identified name of your product or service
Category
Automatically classified category (SaaS, Hardware, Service, etc.)
Confidence Score
A percentage (0-100%) indicating how confident the AI is that this is a distinct product. Higher scores mean more certain identification.
Description
AI-generated summary of what the product does

Selecting Products

  • Check the boxes next to products you want to monitor
  • Higher confidence scores generally indicate better product identification
  • You can select as many products as your subscription allows
  • Products with low confidence scores might need manual editing later

Adding Custom Products

If the AI missed a product, you can add it manually:

  1. Click Add Custom Product
  2. Enter the product name
  3. Select a category
  4. Add a brief description
  5. Click Add to include it in your monitoring

Step 2: Pulse Configuration

In the second step, KozoPulse generates monitoring queries (pulses) for your selected products and lets you configure which AI models to query.

Understanding Generated Pulses

For each product, KozoPulse automatically generates monitoring queries designed to:

  • Trigger mentions of your brand and competitors
  • Elicit comparative responses from AI models
  • Capture sentiment and positioning information
  • Provide market context for your products

Reviewing Pulse Text

Each generated pulse shows:

Pulse Query
The actual question or prompt that will be sent to AI models
Target Product
Which of your products this pulse is monitoring
Selected Models
Which AI providers will receive this query

Selecting AI Models

You can choose which AI models to query for each pulse:

ChatGPT Models

  • GPT-4o
  • GPT-4o mini
  • GPT-4 Turbo

Claude Models

  • Claude 3.5 Sonnet
  • Claude 3 Opus
  • Claude 3 Haiku

Gemini Models

  • Gemini 1.5 Pro
  • Gemini 1.5 Flash

Customizing Pulse Text

While AI-generated pulses work well, you can customize them:

  1. Click the edit icon next to any pulse
  2. Modify the query text to better fit your needs
  3. Ensure the query is likely to mention your brand
  4. Save your changes

Respecting Subscription Limits

The wizard automatically enforces your plan limits:

  • You'll see your current usage and remaining quota
  • If you hit the pulse limit, you'll need to deselect some models or upgrade
  • Each product-model combination counts as one pulse

Skipping Onboarding

You can skip onboarding if you prefer to set up monitoring manually. This gives you more control but takes longer.

When to Skip

  • You want complete control over product definitions
  • Your products aren't clearly listed on your website
  • You need to carefully craft custom monitoring queries
  • You're migrating from another monitoring tool

What Happens if You Skip

If you skip onboarding:

  1. You'll land on an empty dashboard
  2. You'll need to manually create brands in Settings → Brands
  3. You'll need to add products using the Product Wizard
  4. You'll need to create pulses in the Pulses section
  5. Data collection won't start until you configure pulses

What Happens After Onboarding

Once you complete onboarding, KozoPulse immediately begins working:

Immediate Actions

  • You're redirected to the Pulse Center dashboard
