Quickstart

This guide walks you through signup to your first piece of content. Most teams reach their first published article within 48 hours. The onboarding wizard takes about 10 minutes.

Create your account

1. Head to the Eclipse signup page and start your 7-day free trial. No credit card required.
2. Enter your name, email, and password.
3. You'll land on the dashboard. If this is a fresh account, Eclipse will prompt you to onboard your first client.

Onboard your first client

The onboarding wizard collects the information Eclipse needs to write in your voice and publish to the right place. It has three steps after the welcome screen.

You can save and exit at any point. Eclipse remembers where you left off.

Explore the dashboard

Once onboarding is complete, you'll see the main dashboard. Here's what's waiting for you:

• Content in the left sidebar takes you to your article queue and editor.
• Social Media generates posts across eight platforms from your published articles.
• Keywords shows your tracked keyword rankings.
• Cortex opens the AI canvas where you can research, draft, and chat with CASi.
• Analytics pulls data from Google Analytics and Google Search Console, tracking queries, content performance, and search visibility in one view.
• GEO shows your AI visibility across ten search engines.
• Competitors tracks rival brands, positioning, and sentiment.
• Reddit monitors subreddits, scores threads by buyer intent, and drafts replies from your brand context.
• Integrations is where you connect your CMS, workspace tools, and analytics.
• Train CASi is where you upload documentation, training material, slide decks, investor decks, and other client-relevant information that CASi ingests and draws from when creating content.

Connect your CMS

Before you can publish, connect at least one CMS destination.

1. Go to Integrations in the left sidebar.
2. Select your CMS: WordPress, HubSpot, Contentful, Webflow, Wix, or Google Docs.
3. Follow the connection flow for your platform. Each one takes a couple of minutes.

Once connected, Eclipse can publish directly from the editor with one click.

Create your first article

There are two starting points. Pick whichever suits how you work.

From the Content page:

1. Go to Content and click Create Article.
2. Choose a Content Profile. The profile already holds your target audience, keywords, tone, and editorial rules.
3. Eclipse researches your market, pulls in external sources, and generates a cited draft.
4. Review the draft in the editor, fully cited and referenced. Edit inline if you need to. Highlight any section you want CASi to rewrite.
5. When you're happy, hit Publish and select your CMS destination.

From Cortex Canvas:

1. Open Cortex and build your research on the canvas. Connect workspace documents from Notion, Confluence, Monday, or Google Drive. Run deep research, community research, or chat with CASi.
2. When your research is ready, click Create Article from the canvas.
3. You can choose a Content Profile to apply your pre-configured rules, or send your entire canvas research straight to CASi.
4. CASi writes the article from everything you've assembled. It lands in your content table as a new article, fully cited and referenced, grounded in your own research.
5. Review the draft in the editor. Edit inline if you need to. Highlight any section you want CASi to rewrite.
6. When you're happy, hit Publish and select your CMS destination.

Either route ends with a cited, referenced article ready for your CMS.

What to do next

• Set up a Content Profile to store your audience, tone, and editorial rules in one place. You can also schedule recurring content if you choose. See Content Profiles.
• Run your first GEO scan to see where your brand appears (and where it doesn't) across AI search engines. See GEO Dashboard.
• Add competitors to start tracking their content, positioning, and AI citations. See Competitor Intelligence.
• Open Cortex Canvas to research a topic visually with connected nodes. See Canvas.
