Quick Start

This guide walks you through signing up for Cleotic and getting your first AI visibility data. You'll create a project, add your brand and competitors, configure a monitor, write prompts, and see how AI models mention your brand -- all in about 10 minutes.

Sign up

  1. Go to Cleotic and click Get Started or Sign Up.
  2. You'll be taken to a secure sign-in page powered by WorkOS. Sign in with your email or an existing identity provider.
  3. If this is your first time, you'll be prompted to create or name your organisation. This is the workspace that all your projects, team members, and data live under.

Once signed in, you'll land on the Dashboard.

Create your first project

From the dashboard, click Create Project (or New Project from the projects page). This launches a guided wizard that walks you through setup in six steps.

Step 1: Name your project

Give your project a descriptive name. This is just for your own organisation -- something like "Brand Monitoring Q2" or "Tesla vs Competitors" works well.

Step 2: Add brands

Brands are the companies you want to track in AI responses. You need at least one.

  • Primary brand -- This is your brand (or the main brand you're monitoring). Mark it as primary using the checkbox. Each project has exactly one primary brand.
  • Competitor brands -- Add the competitors you want to benchmark against.

For each brand, provide:

  • Name -- The brand name as it would appear in AI responses (e.g., "Tesla")
  • Domain -- The brand's main website (e.g., "tesla.com")
  • Aliases (optional) -- Other names the brand goes by, separated by commas. For example, "TSLA, Tesla Motors, Tesla Inc" helps Cleotic catch all variations in AI responses.

Step 3: Configure a monitor

A monitor defines which AI models to test and how often. Configure:

  • Name -- A label for this monitor (e.g., "Daily US English")
  • Geographic context -- The market or region (e.g., "US", "UK", "EU")
  • Language -- The language for prompts and analysis (e.g., "English")
  • AI models -- Select which models to query. Models are grouped by provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, etc.). Select at least one.
  • Refresh frequency -- How often prompts run automatically: daily or weekly

Step 4: Add prompts

Prompts are the questions Cleotic sends to the AI models you selected. These should be the kinds of questions your potential customers might ask an AI assistant.

You have three ways to add prompts:

  1. Write your own -- Type a prompt directly, like "What are the best electric vehicles in 2025?" Add optional tags to categorise it (e.g., "product-comparison", "ev-market").

  2. Generate with AI -- Type a seed prompt and click Generate Related. Cleotic suggests 3-5 related variations with auto-generated tags. Select the ones you want and add them all at once.

  3. Batch add -- Select multiple generated suggestions and add them in one go.

Good prompts are the kinds of questions real people ask AI assistants about your industry. Think about product comparisons, recommendations, "best of" lists, and how-to questions.

Step 5: Review

Review everything you've set up: your project name, brands, monitor configuration, and prompts. Go back to any step to make changes.

Step 6: Complete

Your project is created. Cleotic will offer to run your prompts immediately so you can see results right away. Click Run Prompts to get started, or skip this and let the monitor run on its scheduled frequency.

View your first results

After prompts have run, you can explore your data:

  1. Go to your project from the dashboard or projects list.
  2. Click the Analytics tab to see visibility scores, share of voice, and trends.
  3. Click a monitor to see individual prompts and their responses.
  4. Click a prompt to see the full AI responses, including which brands were mentioned, their sentiment, and any citations.

Results typically appear within a few minutes of running prompts. The analytics dashboards update automatically as new data comes in.

What to do next

  • Add more prompts -- The more prompts you have, the more comprehensive your visibility picture becomes. See Prompts.
  • Explore analytics -- Dive into visibility scores, share of voice, and answer gaps.
  • Set up crawler tracking -- See which AI companies are crawling your website. See Tracking sites.
  • Invite your team -- Share access with colleagues. See Team management.
  • Create a report -- Share your findings with stakeholders. See Reports.
