1) Initial setup and configuration

1) Create your workspace

  • Organization > Workspaces > New. Name it after your brand or product line.
  • Add SSO (Okta, Google, Microsoft) and invite teammates. Assign roles: Admin, Analyst, Viewer.
  • Set data retention and PII redaction defaults.

2) Define your brand entities

  • Add domains, sub-brands, product names, app store listings, social handles, and common aliases/misspellings.
  • Map canonical entities (e.g., “Acme,” “Acme Inc.,” “ACME CRM”) to a single brand ID.

3) Seed intents and regions

  • Upload a CSV or paste seed queries grouped by intent: informational, comparative, transactional, support.
  • Choose markets and languages (e.g., United States-English, Germany-German). Abhord localizes prompts per locale.
