## Onboarding Steps

1. Add ICPs and/or Key Differentiators (Required)
2. Upload Brand Images (Required)

## Overview

Relixir allows granular control over the content we generate. This includes knowledge about your company as well as control over the blog generation process.

Setting up your brand guidelines ensures the content Relixir generates matches your company's design theme, writing style, and content requirements.

## Required Steps

### Step 1: Go to Knowledge Base

Navigate to the Knowledge Base:

```
https://app.relixir.ai/dashboard/knowledge-base
```

### Step 2: Add ICPs and Key Differentiators

In the **Company Description** tab (open by default):

1. Add your **Ideal Customer Profiles (ICPs)** — Who are you targeting?
2. Add your **Key Differentiators** — What makes your company unique?

<Tip>
  This gives Relixir great context on exactly who you are targeting and what makes your company unique. This influences the blog topics we propose and blogs we generate.
</Tip>

### Step 3: Upload Brand Images

1. Select the **Brand Guidelines** tab
2. Upload at least **1 Brand Image**

These images are used as design references for generating your blog thumbnails and blog body images.

<Info>
  A good starting point is using screenshots of key pages on your website.

## Optional Steps

### Set Up Voice & Writing Style Guidelines

On the same Brand Guidelines tab, set up your voice & writing style:

**Option A** — Upload existing guidelines (PDF / blog URLs)

**Option B** — Configure manually in the form

### Brand Guidelines Sections

The Brand Guidelines tab is split into 4 sections:

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Voice & Writing">
    This covers everything from:

    * Writing style guidelines
    * Tone adjectives
    * Vocabulary rules (terms to prefer, terms to avoid)
    * Structural preferences (content structures to use, headings, etc.)
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Metadata">
    Guidelines for blog metadata, primarily descriptions and titles.

    <Tip>
      Include few-shot examples of **On-Brand titles** and **Off-Brand titles** to train the system on your preferences.
    </Tip>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Brand Assets">
    This section contains:

    * The brand images uploaded during setup
    * Additional guidelines for generating thumbnail images
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Research & Governance">
    This section covers web-search / sourcing requirements and competitor discussion:

    * By default, blogs pull any relevant, decently credible source
    * If you have specific requirements about sources to blacklist or whitelist, source authority requirements (e.g., research papers only), define it in **Research Guidelines**
    * If you have restrictions about talking about competitors (e.g., avoid certain competitors completely), include it in **Competitor Mention Guidelines**
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Best Practices

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Be Specific About ICPs" icon="users">
    The more specific you are about who you're targeting, the more relevant the generated content will be.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Provide Examples" icon="file-lines">
    Include examples of content you like (and don't like) to help calibrate the AI.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Update Regularly" icon="arrows-rotate">
    As your messaging evolves, update your guidelines to keep content on-brand.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Don't Over-Constrain" icon="scale-balanced">
    Too many rules can make content feel robotic. Focus on the most important guidelines.
