Create your account and set up your workspace
Sign in with your work email, answer six short setup cards, and you're ready to write.
Setup takes about five minutes. Nothing you enter is final; every answer can be changed later on the Context page.
1. Sign in
Go to app.letterstory.com and choose Continue with Google, or enter your email and password.
If you're joining a teammate's workspace, use the invite link they sent you instead (KB-104).
2. Answer the setup cards
After your first sign-in you'll step through six short cards. You can go Back at any point, or Skip for now to move past one.
- Welcome to Letterstory. What do you want to accomplish?: pick your goals so the rest of setup is tailored to them.
- Your domain: the website your content lives on. It anchors everything else: research, internal links, and how the platform describes you.
- Your Company's Mission: a line or two on who you are and what you stand for. The platform suggests one from your website; edit it until it sounds like you.
- Stances: the positions you hold and argue for. These shape every piece the platform writes.
- Import your existing blog: one click reads your posts from your sitemap, works out what you already cover, and builds a first topic map and set of headlines. Skip it if you're starting from nothing; you can do the same later from New Collection (KB-202).
- How much you'll lean on automation: whether you'd rather review each step or let things run.
Some setup areas aren't part of this flow yet (visual style, Search Console, writing voice). They're all available in the app today under Settings and Canvas.
When you finish, you'll see a confirmation and Go to Collections. Come back to /onboarding any time and you'll get a review list linking to each setting.
3. Check your Context
Open Context in the header (or Dashboard, if your workspace shows one). The mission and stances you just entered are under Identity → Manifesto and Stances. Two things worth doing now:
- Competitors: add the companies you never want mentioned, or want mentioned neutrally. The platform enforces this in every piece.
- Identity → How AI describes you: how AI should describe you, and what you want to be the answer for.
Details in KB-204.
4. Pick your writing voice
Open Settings → Writing Kernel and choose the voice your drafts are written in. If nothing is listed yet, ask us; kernels are enabled per organization. The eight voices are described in KB-701. You can also build a kernel of your own under Primitives → Kernels.
5. Write something
You're set. KB-103 walks through your first post.
Prefer to do the whole setup from your own AI agent or over the API? The self-serve guide at /docs/onboard covers importing or creating content, connecting your front end, and turning on automations, with a prompt you can paste into your agent.
