A project in DevTune is your workspace for one product or brand. This guide walks you through creating your first project using the onboarding wizard.

Starting the Project Wizard

There are two ways to create a project:
  1. During onboarding - After creating your account and team, you’ll be guided directly into the project creation wizard
  2. From Account Home - Click Create Project

Project Setup Steps

The wizard walks you through five steps.

Step 1: Product Basics

Enter your project name and your product’s website URLs. Project name should be clear and descriptive, for example:
  • “Acme Analytics”
  • “CloudSync Platform”
  • “DataFlow API”
Website URLs should include the main properties that represent the product:
  • Main website
  • Documentation
  • Any other relevant product surface
DevTune uses these URLs to generate the initial product context.

Step 2: Review AI-Generated Context

DevTune analyzes the URLs you provided and generates a product context description. Review and edit it so it accurately explains:
  • What problem your product solves
  • Who your target users are
  • Key features and capabilities
  • What category of tool it is
Better context leads to better prompt suggestions and stronger recommendations later.

Step 3: Add Competitors

Add at least one competitor brand to enable Share of Voice and competitive comparisons. For each competitor, provide:
  • Competitor name
  • Relevant URLs or domains
You can expand or refine competitors later from Project Settings > Brands.

Step 4: Select Prompts

DevTune suggests relevant prompts based on your product context. Review the suggestions and select the ones you want to track. Good starter prompts usually include:
  • Category discovery prompts
  • Evaluation / comparison prompts
  • Integration prompts
You can add or revise prompts later from AI Search > Prompts. The final step kicks off your first AI Search run. DevTune queries the AI platforms enabled for your plan and collects the baseline results. Platform coverage depends on your plan:
  • Starter / Plus - ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini
  • Pro and above - ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Mode, Grok

What Happens After Creation

Once the initial run completes:
  1. You can open the AI Search Dashboard to review the baseline
  2. DevTune starts generating recommendations in Actions
  3. Ongoing runs populate trends over time

Editing Project Settings

After creation, use Project Settings for ongoing setup:
  • General - Project name, description, product context
  • Brands - Brands, tracked URLs, brand terms
  • Platforms - Enabled AI Search engines
  • AI Traffic - Tracking snippet setup

Project Organization Tips

One project per product

Create separate projects for distinct products, even if they belong to the same organization.

Keep context current

If the product positioning changes, update Project Settings > General first. If the content footprint changes, update Project Settings > Brands.
