Setup Checklist for New Users

Here’s everything you need to get up and running.

Let’s get you up and running.

If you’re new to Ongage Studio, this checklist walks you through the essential steps to generate your first content. No guesswork, just the key setup tasks that unlock the system.

You only need to do this once.

Step 1: Create Your First Site

Sites are your publishing destinations. If you plan to route content to a website or newsletter, start by creating a Site.

Go to: Sites → Create New Site
Name your Site clearly (e.g. “Health Newsletter” or “Client A – Product Pages”)
Assign a default Brand Voice (can be changed per Agent later)
Link any Data Streams you want the Site to use

Step 2: Add a Brand Voice

Every writing Agent in Studio uses a Brand Voice to control sentence structure, tone, vocabulary, and punctuation. Add at least one to start.

Go to: Branding → Create Brand Voice
Choose a name and voice type
Fill in tone, writing style, structure preferences, and sample lines
Save it and assign to a Site or Agent

Step 3: Build a Data Stream (Optional, but Powerful)

If you want content based on real-time news or curated sources, set up a Data Stream.

Go to: Data Streams → New Datastream
Choose filters: topics, keywords, people, sources, exclusions
Set scoring logic for article quality and freshness
Save and optionally link to a Site or Agent

Step 4: Choose an Agent

Agents are task-specific AI tools that generate content. Select one based on what you want to create.

Popular Agent categories include:
Content Creation → Blog Post, Listicle, Article
Optimization → SEO Block, Humanizer, Grammar Fix
Email & Newsletter → Welcome Email, Subject Line Generator
Research & Quotes → Quote Verifier, Source Extractor

Go to: Create Content → Agent Gallery

Step 5: Run Your First Agent

Each Agent has a simple input form. Fill in the fields, assign a Brand Voice, and select a Site. Then click Run Agent.

Once complete, you’ll see the full output instantly, ready to edit, export, or schedule.

Go to: My Content → Articles

Step 6: Review, Edit, or Export

All generated content is saved automatically. From here, you can:

Preview and edit in the Studio editor
Copy, download, or export via RSS
Use content in Newsletters, Sites, or third-party platforms

You’re Set

From here, you can:

Create more Agents
Build multiple Data Streams
Train advanced Brand Voices
Generate entire batches or multi-step flows
Connect to your website, CMS, or email tools

Your system is live. Your Agents are ready.
