Alkai 101: Get The Most Of Your AI Assistant
Welcome to Alkai! Whether you are an experienced social media user or totally new to this, we got you covered. Alkai is your personal AI assistant that can help you build your online presence and promote your products and brand.
Getting Started
First things first, Alkai will ask you to enter your website address and describe your brand and field of operations. The more information it gets, the more accurate and effective content you will get in return. In the Alkai chat window, select to enter your website, or, if you don't have one, click "I don't have a website" to tell Alkai about what you do and the audience that you target.
Now, if you enter a website for your brand, Alkai will analyze it and compile the information it finds to figure out your brand's name, field of operation, mission, target audience and more. It will provide the results of the anaysis in a separate window for you to review and make adjustments if needed.
When this is dealt with, click on "Looks good" to launch the next step, during which Alkai will scan the esthetics of your brand. It will grasp your brand colors, fonts, styles and visual identity in general to ensure that your branded posts will stand out while retaining authenticity. You can review and edit the gathered information if you feel like doing so.
