2. Copy and paste your website URL
3. You have the option to add Word docs and/or PDFs of any other information about your brand that you believe the StoryCycle Genie™ needs
4. The Genie will ask you NO confusing questions about your brand that other platforms ask, so you avoid the "garbage in, garbage out" paradox that destroys so many brand story development processes
5. When you're ready, click the paper airplane button or simply hit return

Brand Assessment Process

The Brand Story Genie™ will create an initial brand assessment. Takes about three minutes.

Review and Refine

1. Review the assessment carefully
2. Make any changes you like by typing your instructions in the chat window (no prompt engineering required—just talk to it)
3. Once you're happy with your assessment (it doesn't have to be perfect), click on the "90-100% Accurate" button

This collaborative approach is the future of AI-human partnership. Your expertise guides the intelligence rather than being replaced by it.

Pro Tips

Add Your Colleagues/Stakeholders as an Audience

Before you move to step two, consider adding a fourth audience in the Brand Story Genie™: your colleagues/stakeholders.

Brands often overlook getting their people to buy into their refreshed brand story first. They may well be your most important audience before sharing your story with the rest of the world because they need to buy into and know how to amplify your story.

Note: This may not be relevant to you if you're a solopreneur or have a small team that is building your brand narrative strategy with you.

Iterate Anytime

You can always go back and iterate on your brand narrative at any time.

Process:

1. Go to the Brand Story Genie™
2. Click on the "Chat History" button
3. Click on the chat you want to iterate in
4. Make your updates

Updates flow through to all connected Genies automatically.

Save Regularly

Tell the Genie to "save a record in the system" at key milestones:

• After completing your brand assessment
