Getting Started: Creating Your First AI Assistant

Step 1: Navigate to AI Assistants

From your Conversifi dashboard, locate the AI Assistants option in the left sidebar menu under the "Prospecting" section and click it.

Step 2: Create New Assistant

Click the Create New AI Assistant button to begin the setup process.

Choosing Your Assistant Type

You'll be presented with two outreach options. Select the one that matches your business goal:

Sales & Business Development

Perfect for SDRs, sales teams, and founders who want to automate LinkedIn outreach and book more sales calls. Ideal for:

  • B2B lead generation

  • Client acquisition

  • Pipeline building

  • Booking meetings with decision-makers

Recruitment & Talent Acquisition

Designed for recruiters and HR teams who want to automate candidate outreach and grow their talent pipeline. Best for:

  • Candidate sourcing

  • Talent pipeline building

  • Interview scheduling

  • Candidate engagement


Completing the Setup Questions

After selecting your assistant type, you'll answer 11 questions that train your AI on your specific business. The more detailed your answers, the better your assistant will perform.

Key Questions You'll Answer (Sales & Business Development example)

  1. Company Name
    Enter your business name exactly as you want it referenced in conversations.

  2. Industry or Service
    Select your industry or primary service from the dropdown so the AI understands your market context.

  3. Ideal Client Profile
    Describe your ideal client in as much detail as possible (job titles, company size, industry, revenue, pain points).

  4. Problem & Outcome
    Explain the main problem you solve and the specific result or transformation your clients achieve.

  5. Client Results & Success Stories
    Share your strongest results, case studies, or success stories that demonstrate credibility and outcomes.

  6. Average Deal Value
    Indicate your typical client value, contract size, or average deal amount.

  7. Tone Preference
    Choose how you want the AI assistant to communicate (Professional, Friendly, Direct, Consultative, etc.).

  8. Calendar Link
    Paste the scheduling link where prospects should book calls (Calendly, Cal.com, or similar).

  9. Website Link
    Add your website URL so the AI has additional context about your business and offer.

  10. Sales Call Owner
    Specify who handles booked sales calls (yourself or another team member).

Pro Tip: Be as specific and detailed as possible. The quality of your answers directly impacts conversation quality. Vague inputs lead to generic responses, the AI learns your business from this information.


AI Assistant Generation

Once you've answered all questions, Conversifi will automatically build your optimized AI assistant.

The system will:

  • Analyze your business information

  • Generate a custom system prompt

  • Configure tone of voice rules

  • Create conversation flows

  • Set up objection handling

  • Build booking logic

This process takes 1-2 minutes.

When complete, you'll see a confirmation screen with your assistant details and configuration summary.

Your AI assistant is now ready to use. You can immediately create a campaign with it, or you can fine-tune it further using Advanced Mode.


Entering Advanced Mode: Direct Prompt Editing

For power users who want complete control over their AI's behavior, Advanced Mode lets you edit the system prompt directly.

How to Access Advanced Mode:

  1. From the success screen, click Edit Assistant (or find your assistant in the AI Assistants list and click edit)

  1. Look for the Advanced option with the gear icon in the top section

  1. Click Advanced to enter Advanced Mode

  2. You'll see a warning message explaining that Advanced Mode overrides basic settings

  3. Click Load Current Prompt to display your current system prompt

4. Edit the prompt directly in the text editor

5. Click Save Changes when finished

Warning: Changes made in Advanced Mode will override all basic configuration settings. Always save a backup copy of your working prompt before making major edits.
