How it works: Research, plan, create – step by step

This short guide outlines the basic steps for getting started with InferenceCloud

Step 1 - Create a new Insight Miner Project

You don’t have to start here, but we suggest creating a new Insight Miner project and giving Insight Miner some source materials, which can be files or URLs.

This will generate talking points which will be useful later to build plans and content.

Step 2 - Identify some topics with Strategy Explorer

While you are waiting for Insight Miner to process things head over to Strategy Explorer to identify some topics for your communication project.

These topics are needed so that Inference Cloud knows what to write about and how.

You will end up with a useful chart that gives useful insight into possible priorities.

Take a few extra minutes to really think about what you are trying to produce - a little extra clarity helps the AI fulfill your needs.

Step 3 - Build a content plan with Strategy Builder

Bringing things together…

Strategy Builder takes the topics that you identify in Strategy Explorer, and the talking points created by Insight Miner and uses this data to build a communications plan. Think of it like this:

topics + talking points = plan

Communications plans are based on what we call Milestones. A Milestone can be an event, a campaign, your quarterly targets, whatever your communication project ultimately wants to achieve.

Click on the Create new milestone button, think as carefully as possible about your objective, then select your topics and talking points. Strategy Builder does the rest.

Step 4 - Create some content

Once generated your content plan will be displayed as a series of content briefs. Open a brief by clicking on View content brief. Here you can see basic content information and any previously generated content.

You won’t have any content yet, so click on Generate Content and let Inference Writer create some for you.
