Getting started
How to get started
From signup to your first playbook: five steps to stop guessing what to post.
You don’t need a week of setup. You need a first win.
Here’s the fastest path from signup to “I know what to create next.”
Your 5-step plan
1. Create your account
Sign up and open your workspace. Choose Basic or Pro and start your 7-day free trial with full plan credits. You’re in.
2. Ask the agent, or pick one research target
Open the ClipSonar agent and ask what’s working in your topic, or choose one:
- Creator: an Instagram or TikTok profile you admire or compete with
- Collection: a campaign, competitor set, or client brief built from clip links
- Topic: a short brief describing the category you want mapped across Instagram and/or TikTok
Don’t boil the ocean. One strong target beats ten half-started ones.
3. Let analysis finish
ClipSonar breaks down hooks, structure, themes, and performance signals. This is where scrolling turns into structure.
4. Open Insights, then Clips
Insights is the playbook: DNA, why it wins, strategy, and what to make next. Clips is the proof: browse and open the real examples behind every pattern.
5. Turn insights into action
Brief your next post, pitch, or campaign. Or pull the same context into Claude via MCP.
Pro tips for a useful first session
- Start with a creator whose audience overlaps yours, or a topic brief you already pitch
- Stay in Insights until the story is clear, then use Clips to show proof
- Bring the findings into your next content meeting (or into Claude)
