Getting Started

From URL to fully operational AI cofounder in under two minutes. Here is everything you need to know.

1

Paste your URL

Go to ghostcofounder.com/onboard and paste your website URL. No forms, no onboarding call, no setup wizard.

Your ghost cofounder immediately starts crawling your site. It checks up to 12 pages, scans social platforms, identifies your competitors, and maps your business: what you do, who you serve, how you make money, and where the risks and opportunities are.

The whole process takes about 60 to 90 seconds. You can watch it happen in real time.

2

Review your Company Brain

Once the crawl finishes, you get a Company Brain. This is the operating foundation your ghost cofounder works from:

  • →Business summary — what you do, who you serve, how you make money
  • →Competitive landscape — who your competitors are, what they charge, where they are moving
  • →Operational priorities — vendor risks, financial exposure, process gaps, quick wins
  • →Ideal customer profile — who your best customers are and where to find them
  • →Brand voice — how you sound, sample phrases, tone
  • →Content and market gaps — what you should be doing but are not

Create your account

Sign up with email or Google. Free accounts get started instantly with no credit card.

Your ghost cofounder activates immediately. It queues up its first task based on the highest-priority item it found in your Company Brain. Within hours, you will have real deliverables waiting.

4

It starts operating

Your ghost cofounder picks the highest-impact tasks and executes them automatically: every 6 hours on Solo, every 2 hours on Growth/Scale. It does not wait for instructions. It finds the work:

Competitor Watch

Monitor competitor pricing, features, and positioning daily. Catch shifts same-day.

Vendor & Contract Review

Flag bad auto-renewals, surface contract risks, research vendor alternatives.

Financial Review

Catch anomalies, flag unexpected cost spikes, track spending patterns.

Client Deliverables

Draft proposals, reports, and client-facing documents from your past work.

Process Documentation

Document workflows, SOPs, and operational playbooks before they live only in someone's head.

SEO & Content

Keyword gaps, ranking opportunities, on-brand blog drafts and social content.

5

Get results continuously

You get a morning briefing email summarizing everything your ghost cofounder has done. What it found, what it built, what it flagged, and what it recommends next. Tasks keep running throughout the day.

Check your dashboard anytime for the full history of completed tasks, active monitoring, and upcoming work.

Tips for best results

1

Give feedback early

After your first morning briefing, use the chat to tell your ghost cofounder what you liked and what to adjust. The more feedback you give in the first week, the better the work gets.

2

Read the competitor reports

A competitor raising prices, dropping a feature, or going quiet on a channel is your opening. These reports surface things you would otherwise miss.

3

Use the chat for hard questions

Your ghost cofounder knows your market. Ask it things like: “What keywords are my competitors ranking for that I am not?” or “Which of my vendors is the highest risk right now?”

4

Share your Company Brain

Your Company Brain is shareable. Send it to investors, partners, or new hires. It is the fastest way to show someone how your business actually works.
