This page walks you through your first session, from creating an account to your first piece of content. Each step links to the page with full details.

## Step 1: Create your account

1. Open Aigio and click **Create an account** on the **Log in** page.
2. Fill in your details and click **Create Account**.
3. Verify your email address with the code Aigio sends you.

You can also sign in with Google. See [Signing in and creating an account](https://guide.aigio.ai/signing-in).

## Step 2: Tell Aigio about you

The first time you sign in, Aigio asks what best describes you, for example a freelancer, a startup or an agency. Choose an option and click **Continue**.

## Step 3: Create your first workspace

A workspace holds everything about one brand. Click **New workspace** and complete the five setup steps:

1. **Workspace details**: your brand's basic details.
2. **Brand assets**: files you already have, such as brand guidelines or decks.
3. **Brand discovery**: questions Aigio writes for your brand.
4. **Missed information**: anything the questions didn't cover.
5. **Clarifications**: a few follow-up questions.

See [Create a workspace](https://guide.aigio.ai/workspaces#create-a-workspace).

## Step 4: Read your Brand overview

When setup is finished, your workspace opens on the **Brand overview**. Read it, ask for changes where something isn't right, and approve the version you are happy with.

See [Brand overview](https://guide.aigio.ai/brand-overview).

## Step 5: Add your products, services and files

Add what you sell on the **Products** and **Services** pages, and upload your brand files in **Media Assets**. The more Aigio knows, the better it writes.

See [Products and services](https://guide.aigio.ai/products-and-services) and [Media Assets](https://guide.aigio.ai/media-assets).

## Step 6: Build your brand foundation

Open **Profiling & Engineering** and start with **Brand Foundation Strategy**. Generate each sub-module, answer Aigio's questions, and approve the results. Other modules, documents and content build on it.

See [Profiling & Engineering](https://guide.aigio.ai/profiling-and-engineering).

## Step 7: Create documents and content

- Open **Reports & Documents** for finished brand documents. See [Reports & Documents](https://guide.aigio.ai/reports-and-documents).
- Open **Content Generation** for posts, emails, ads and more. See [Content Generation](https://guide.aigio.ai/content-generation).
- Open **Tools** for the 7 helpers, such as **Content Calendar** and **Web Audit**. See [Tools](https://guide.aigio.ai/tools).

## Step 8: Plan and publish your posts

1. Plan your social media posts in the **Calendar**. See [Calendar](https://guide.aigio.ai/calendar).
2. Connect your social media accounts in **Social Accounts**. See [Social Accounts](https://guide.aigio.ai/social-accounts).
3. Publish or schedule posts in **Social Posts**. See [Social Posts](https://guide.aigio.ai/social-posts).

## Step 9: Invite your team

Invite the people you work with in **Members**. See [Members and roles](https://guide.aigio.ai/members).

If you need help at any point, open **Help & Support** and raise a ticket. See [Help & Support](https://guide.aigio.ai/help-and-support).
