Getting started · 1 of 6

Start with your website.

Give Propel a name and your website. It starts reading straight away, keeps each fact with the page it came from, and asks what it must never say and how much it may do alone. Your first read is free. From there, ask for a strategy or a first piece of work.

Opening soon Propel isn't open for sign-up yet. This guide shows how it works on day one. Join the waitlist to get in first.

What are the steps?

  1. Sign up and confirm your email address. Nothing that spends credits runs until you do.
  2. Name your product and give its website. A GitHub repo is optional; you can connect it later, read-only.
  3. Let it read. Each fact it keeps points to the page or file it came from. What it reads is screened for instructions aimed at it and for personal data.
  4. Set your rules. The words and claims it must never use, and how much it may do on its own.
  5. Ask for something. A strategy with a 90-day plan, a launch thread, a list of buyers.

What does it cost to start?

Reading a product costs 60 credits, and your first read is free. The Free plan includes 175 credits once. A strategy with a 90-day plan costs 75 credits. Every price is on the pricing page.

What next?

Connect the places it works: a mailbox for email to buyers, and X and LinkedIn for posts. You approve in the app; approving from Slack or email comes later.

Questions about this guide

Do I need to connect GitHub to start?

No. Your website is enough to start. Connect GitHub later through a read-only app, so it sees what you ship.

Is the first read really free?

Yes. Reading a product normally costs 60 credits; your first one costs nothing.

Does it make a strategy on its own?

No. Ask for one when you are ready. A strategy with a 90-day plan costs 75 credits.
