Welcome to ThookAI! This guide will help you get started and make the most of your AI-powered content creation platform.

---

🎯 Quick Start (5 Minutes)

Step 1: Create Your Account

1. Visit ThookAI and click "Get Started"
2. Choose your sign-up method:
   • Google — One-click sign-up (recommended)
   • Email — Enter your name, email, and password
3. You'll be redirected to the onboarding wizard

Step 2: Build Your Persona

This is the most important step! ThookAI will ask you 7 questions to understand your unique voice:

Question Type	What It Learns
Content Focus	Your main topics and expertise
Target Audience	Who you're creating content for
Content Style	Formats you prefer (stories, lists, tutorials)
Posting Frequency	How often you create content
Platform Focus	Where you publish (LinkedIn, X, Instagram)
Goals	What you want to achieve
Unique Angle	What makes your perspective different

Tips for best results:

• Be specific — "B2B SaaS founders scaling to $10M ARR" is better than "business people"
• Share your actual voice — How would you explain your work to a friend?
• Don't overthink — Your answers can be refined later

Step 3: Review Your Persona Card

After the interview, you'll see your AI-generated Persona Card with:

• Archetype — Your content personality (Educator, Storyteller, Provocateur, or Builder)
• Voice Descriptor — How your writing sounds
• Content Pillars — Your core topics
• Hook Style — How you grab attention
• Target Audience — Who resonates with your content

You can edit any field to fine-tune your voice.
