AI Team Quick Start

The AI Team is your autonomous marketing department. It consists of a smart Orchestrator that coordinates 13 specialized AI bots — each handling a different aspect of your marketing strategy, from content creation and social engagement to lead scoring and competitor analysis.

Here's what makes the AI Team powerful:

• Smart Orchestrator — An AI brain with 47 tools that plans strategy, dispatches tasks, and adapts based on results
• 13 Specialized Bots — Each expert in its domain, organized into four categories
• Runs 24/7 — Six automated cycle types (Strategy, Creation, Engagement, Review, Optimization, Supervision) keep your marketing active around the clock
• Cross-Bot Intelligence — Bots share signals with each other so a trending topic discovered by one bot instantly informs content created by another
• Always Learning — The Orchestrator analyzes performance data after every cycle and refines its strategy over time
• Human in the Loop — A review system lets you approve, edit, or reject AI-generated content before it goes live

To access the AI Team feature, click on "AI Team" in the left sidebar of your dashboard. If you have multiple brands, make sure you've selected the right brand first.

1. Log in to Audenci and navigate to your dashboard
2. Click "AI Team" in the left sidebar
3. If this is your first time, you'll see the team creation wizard
4. If you already have a team, you'll see your team dashboard with the side panel

The onboarding wizard guides you through 7 steps to set up your AI Team. Don't worry — you can always adjust settings later.

Step 1: Welcome

The welcome screen introduces the AI Team concept and its four pillars: Smart Orchestrator, 13 Specialized Bots, 24/7 operation, and continuous learning. Click "Let's Build Your Team" to get started.

Step 2: Brand Foundation

Connect your social media accounts and define your products or services. The AI Team needs this context to create relevant marketing content. You need at least one social account and one product to proceed. You can also optionally set your brand voice (tone and voice guidelines) to help bots create more on-brand content.

Step 3: Marketing Goals

Select your marketing objectives. The wizard uses these goals to recommend which bots you should include in your team. Available goals include:

• Grow Audience — Expand your reach and follower base
• Generate Leads — Identify and qualify potential customers
• Increase Engagement — Boost likes, comments, and shares
• Drive Sales — Convert followers into customers
• Brand Awareness — Build recognition and visibility
• Content at Scale — Produce high-volume, quality content
• Monitor Competition — Track competitor strategies and trends
• Retain Customers — Keep existing customers engaged
• Influencer Partnerships — Discover and collaborate with creators
• Paid Advertising — Run and optimize ad campaigns

Step 4: Build Your Team

Select which AI bots to include. Based on your goals, certain bots are marked as "Recommended." The Performance bot is always included. You need at least 2 bots total. Bots are organized into four categories:

• Content Creation — Content Gen, AI Clone, SEO & Blog
• Engagement — AI Comment, Auto DM, Follow-Up
• Growth & Outreach — Ad Campaign, Influencer, Lead Scoring
• Intelligence — Trend Discovery, Social Listening, Retention, Performance

Step 5: Configure Bots

Fine-tune each selected bot's settings. This includes platform-specific configuration, content preferences, and behavioral parameters. Default settings work well for most users.

Step 6: Team Settings

Set your team's identity and behavior:

• Team Name — Give your team a memorable name
• Team Description — Optional description for reference
• Avatar Color — Choose from 8 color options
• Automation Level — Conservative (review everything), Balanced (recommended), or Aggressive (full automation)
• Max Credits Per Day — Set a daily budget limit (10-500 credits) or choose Unlimited
• Team Strategy — Optionally describe your marketing strategy, or let the Orchestrator develop its own
• Cycle Intervals — Advanced setting to control how often each cycle type runs (Strategy, Creation, Engagement, Review, Optimization, Supervision)

Step 7: Review & Launch

Review all your settings — team name, selected goals, chosen bots, automation level, and credit limits. When everything looks good, click "Launch Your AI Team" to activate.

Once your team is launched, the Orchestrator begins running automated cycles. Each cycle follows five phases:

1. Strategy — The Orchestrator analyzes your brand context, past performance, and current trends to set priorities
2. Creation — Content bots generate posts, articles, and media based on the strategy
3. Engagement — Engagement bots respond to comments, send DMs, and interact with your audience
4. Review — Generated content and actions are queued for your approval (based on automation level)
5. Optimization — The Orchestrator analyzes results and adjusts strategy for the next cycle

Cycles run automatically based on your configured intervals. The Supervision cycle (default: every 15 minutes) checks on bot health and stuck processes.

After your first cycle completes, you can review results in the AI Team side panel:

• Overview Tab — See team activity, analytics, active strategies, goals, and insights across five sub-tabs (Activity, Analytics, Strategies, Goals, Insights)
• Review Tab — Approve, reject, edit, publish, or schedule pending content and engagement actions. Filter by type: Posts, Comments, DMs, Emails, Ads, SEO
• Calendar Tab — View scheduled content on a visual calendar with month, week, day, and list views. Filter by bot type and status
• Bots Tab — Monitor individual bot status, start/stop bots, and manage bot configurations
• Intelligence Tab — View team activities and system health monitoring. Admins also have access to Team Memory
• Settings Tab — Adjust team name, marketing goals, credit limits, cycle intervals, and enable/disable the team
