Here's how to get started. ### Step 1: Create your account Visit [asklantern.com](https://asklantern.com) and create your free account. No credit card required for your 7-day trial. Complete your brand profile so Lantern knows what to track: 1. **Company name and website URL** — your primary brand identity 2. **Key products or services** — Lantern will monitor mentions of each 3. **Competitors (optional)** — benchmark your visibility against them 4. **AI platforms to monitor** — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google Lantern begins tracking your brand immediately after setup. ### Step 2: Configure monitoring Define the queries you want to monitor across AI platforms: * **Comparison queries** — "What are the best \[product category]?" * **Direct brand queries** — "Tell me about \[your brand]" * **Use case queries** — "Best solution for \[specific need]" * **Competitive queries** — "Compare \[your brand] vs \[competitor]" Start with 5–10 high-priority prompts and expand from there. Add Lantern's attribution snippet to your site to measure AI-driven traffic: ```html theme={null} ``` Place this in your site's `` to start attributing AI-referred sessions to revenue. ### Step 3: Deploy your first agent Go to **Agents** in the sidebar and click **New Agent**. Choose from ready-made templates — Blog Article Pipeline, AI Search Optimisation Article, Competitor Analysis — or build your own. Agents run in the background on Lantern's servers. When finished, results appear in **Run History** with every step, output, and data point logged.
