Before you start
Steps
Tap "No website? Enter your details"
Find it below the "Read my website" button on the first setup screen. If a scan didn't work, "Enter details yourself" takes you to the same screens.
You should see: A screen that says "Tell us about your business."
Enter your business name, industry and starting voice
Fill in "Business name" and "Industry", then pick a "Starting voice". All 3 are needed before the Next button turns on. Your swipes refine the voice later.
You should see: The Next button is on.
Tap "Next" to reach the brand screen
Autopilot saves your business details before it moves on.
You should see: A screen that says "Show us your brand."
Add your logo and brand colors
Drop a PNG, JPG or SVG logo in the box, or tap to browse. Then set your "Primary color" and "Accent color". The logo is optional. Tap "Next" when you're done.
You should see: A screen that says "Give Autopilot something to sell."
Add one product or service
Fill in "Product or service name" and "Description". "Price (optional)" and "Product link (optional)" can stay empty. Tap "Next" to save it.
You should see: A screen that says "Teach Autopilot your voice."
Swipe on the sample posts
Swipe right on posts that sound like you and left on ones that don't. The line "Swipe right if a post sounds like you." shows your progress. When you finish, a card says Autopilot has a feel for your voice. In a hurry? Tap "Skip calibration for now". That finishes setup and opens Home without the last step.
You should see: A card that says "Nice. Autopilot has a feel for your voice." with a "Go to dashboard" button.
Tap "Go to dashboard"
This finishes setup and opens Home. If you skipped the swipes, you're already there. Add your business description next, because the manual steps don't ask for one.
You should see: Your Home page, with a Setup checklist for what's left.
Open Home
Add a product from a photo
On the product screen you can tap "Scan a product photo" instead of typing. Take a photo or choose one, tap "Scan and fill details", and Autopilot writes the name and description for you. Check them before you tap "Next".
What to add after setup

Changed your mind? Your site can fill in most of this for you. See how to set up Autopilot from your website.
If something's not right
The Next button won't turn on
The first screen needs a business name, an industry and a starting voice. The product screen needs a name and a description. Fill those in and the button turns on. Prefer to let your site do it? See how to set up Autopilot from your website.
Your logo didn't upload
Stay on the screen and tap Next to try again, or continue without a logo and add it later. See how to add or change your logo.
You ended up here after a website scan failed
Your account wasn't changed. Anything the scan found is already filled in, so check it as you go. See what to do when the website scan didn't work.
