Build a Brand Kit from a public website
The onboarding worker extracts structured identity, voice, audience, and visual signals from public pages.
TL;DR
- PostCopilot can analyze a public website to prepare structured brand identity, voice, audience and visual context.
- Review the website and extracted information before relying on it for new content.
- A failed extraction does not replace the current Brand Kit with partial output.
- Supported generation flows use the workspace's active/default brand context; use separate workspaces when brands require a hard boundary.
Choose a representative public website
A useful Brand Kit starts with a useful source. Select a public website that accurately describes the product or organization you want to write for. A temporary campaign page may emphasize one offer and omit the broader audience, product range or tone.
Check the site's important pages before starting. Outdated pricing, a discontinued feature or an old brand description can become misleading context if it is treated as current. The extraction can organize what a website says; it cannot establish that every statement on the website is still true.
PostCopilot's website analysis runs as a bounded background job. Public-address checks block local and private network targets before fetching. Use a public website rather than an internal administration URL, a local development address or a page that requires a private login.
Review identity, audience and voice separately
The structured result contains identity, voice, audience and visual signals. Review each category on its own. A correct product name does not prove that the audience description is precise, and an appealing color palette does not prove that the writing tone fits the business.
| Context area | Useful review question |
|---|---|
| Identity | Is this the current product and organization? |
| Audience | Who actually uses or buys the product? |
| Voice | Which wording feels representative, and which would be inappropriate? |
| Visual signals | Do the observed styles match the brand you intend to publish? |
For example, a website may speak to enterprise buyers while the campaign you are preparing targets individual users. Keep the underlying brand facts accurate, then explain the campaign audience in the draft brief rather than assuming the two audiences are interchangeable.
Add facts and boundaries to the content brief
Brand voice is not permission to invent capabilities. Keep approved product facts and important limitations easy to find. If the website describes a feature that has not shipped, resolve that source problem before using it in a post.
A practical brief can include preferred terminology, phrases to avoid, factual source links and the purpose of the current asset. These are editorial suggestions, not a claim that every item is a dedicated Brand Kit field.
Read the first resulting drafts closely. If they consistently sound too formal or target the wrong reader, investigate the context and the brief before repeatedly regenerating the same idea.

Handle incomplete runs and multiple brands deliberately
When extraction succeeds and is applied, its result becomes available as default brand context for supported writing, social, image and chat flows. A failed run remains recoverable and does not overwrite the current kit with partial output. Review the failure and retry through the supported workflow after correcting the cause.
Secondary brand records can be managed within a workspace, but supported generation flows use the active/default context rather than guaranteeing a different brand selection for every request. For unrelated clients that require a hard data and generation boundary, use separate tenant-isolated workspaces.
Confirm the active workspace before preparing a campaign. This simple check helps prevent one client's product claims or tone from being carried into another client's draft.
Keep the kit current as the product changes
Review brand context after meaningful changes such as a rename, repositioning or major product update. Compare it with the current website and the factual brief used by the team. Do not change it merely to make every draft sound different.
Use PostCopilot to organize the context, then apply editorial judgment to the final content. A Brand Kit is a starting point for consistency; the published article or post still deserves a factual review.
Frequently asked questions
Can website ingestion use a private dashboard?No. It targets public websites and blocks private or local network addresses. Choose an appropriate public source.
What happens if extraction fails halfway?The existing Brand Kit remains intact. Partial failed output does not silently replace it.
Does a Brand Kit guarantee that generated claims are accurate?No. Check product claims and source material before publication, particularly when capabilities or offers have changed.
