How to use Vamos

From first login to your first published post — the full starter guide to Vamos in 10 minutes.

Vamos is a creative content assistant that researches, analyzes, and writes in your voice. This guide walks you through your first 10 minutes, then shows you the workflows most users run every week.

If you're coming from ChatGPT, the big shift: you don't write long, perfect prompts. You tell Vamos what you want, and it figures out the tools, the models, and the structure on its own.


Your first 10 minutes

Step 1 — Set up your Brand Profile (5 min)

Go to Brand Profile and fill in the two main sections:

About You — who you are, what you do, who you serve.

  • Paste your website URL (Vamos will extract content from it).

  • Upload any PDFs, decks, or docs that describe your business.

  • Add bullet points about your offers, audience, unique angle.

Brand Voice — add 3–10 pieces of content that sound like you: top posts, video transcripts, email copy, sales pages. Or link your social profiles and Vamos will pull them automatically. Vamos extracts your voice profile and you can review/edit the output.

Once that's live, every writing task uses your voice automatically. You don't need to flip any toggle — Vamos just pulls what's relevant.

Step 2 — Run your first real task (5 min)

Pick one of these, depending on what you want to do today:

A) Clone your best content

  1. Copy the URL of your top-performing video or post.

  2. Paste it into chat.

  3. Prompt: "Turn this into 10 TikTok scripts in my voice, each with a different angle."

  4. Open any output in Canvas, tweak, save.

B) Analyze a competitor

  1. Prompt: "Analyze @[competitor handle]'s last 30 days on Instagram. Find the top 5 outliers, break down the hook / structure / format of each, then write me 3 scripts inspired by their patterns but in my voice."

  2. You get research + scripts in one flow.

C) Trend research

  1. Prompt: "Search trending videos about [your niche] on Instagram and TikTok in the past 2 weeks. Show me the top 10, analyze them, and write me 5 scripts combining the best patterns."

  2. Everything Vamos finds shows up visually — you can browse the actual videos, not just the summary.

Step 3 — Edit in Canvas

Every piece of writing opens in its own Canvas. You can:

  • Highlight any line and say "rewrite this more punchy" / "shorten" / "humanize" — Vamos rewrites just that section.

  • Undo, redo, save to your library, download.

  • Use the full Canvas editor like a Google Doc with AI built in.

Core workflows

Here's what most users do on a recurring basis. Each has its own deep-dive article.


The three things that make Vamos feel different

1. AUTO handles model selection. You don't pick Claude vs. GPT vs. Gemini. Vamos routes the task to the right model — Claude for writing, cheaper models for research. You get better outputs and save credits automatically. Details: AI Models: How to use them.

2. Memory remembers what you care about. Tell Vamos once — "I never use corporate jargon" / "My audience is 30–45yo founders" / "I hate hooks that start with a question" — and it'll save to Memory and apply across all future chats. Details: How Memory works.

3. Research is built in. Vamos can pull videos, transcripts, profiles, comments, and URLs in the same chat it writes your scripts. You don't switch tools. Details: Research: In Chat.


When your chat is missing details

If your prompt is vague, Vamos shows a simple form asking for what it needs (platform, length, topic, CTA, etc.) instead of going back-and-forth in chat. Fill it out, hit submit, and it runs.

When the next step is obvious, Vamos pre-fills your next prompt so you can just hit send to keep moving.

You can also edit any message you already sent and regenerate the output from that point — useful for tweaking a prompt without starting over.


Tips that make you way better, fast

  • Use AUTO. Don't fiddle with models.

  • Be specific, not long. "Write 3 TikTok scripts on X in my voice, 30 seconds each, ending with [CTA]" > five paragraphs of setup.

  • Correct in the moment. If output feels off, just say "I hate this, too corporate — save to memory, never do it again." Vamos learns.

  • Use your Brand Voice. It auto-loads for writing tasks, so the more content you feed it, the better every output gets.

  • Don't batch-save everything. AI gets you 80% there; pick your top 10–15 outputs from a batch, ditch the rest.
