Onboarding

Purpose

Onboarding gives Brik enough context to stop acting like a blank productivity tool. The goal is not to profile you forever. The goal is to give Brik a useful starting point so its recommendations feel less generic from day one.

When to use it

Use onboarding when:

• you are setting up Brik for the first time
• you were sent back into onboarding as a new user
• you want to understand why Brik asks about routine, current load, and avoided work

Step-by-step flow

1. Open Onboarding and read the first Brik prompt.
2. Reply in text, or use Answer with voice if speaking is easier.
3. Answer in the fastest honest way you can. Short, rough answers are fine.
4. Expect Brik to ask about:
   • your routine
   • what is on your plate right now
   • the work you keep avoiding
   • the responsibilities or patterns that shape your week
5. Keep going until Brik finishes the short conversation.
6. When onboarding is complete, Brik redirects you back to the app home automatically.

What Brik is doing in the background

Brik uses onboarding to build a starting picture of your work rhythm, your friction points, and the kind of support you are likely to need. This is what helps it move from a generic queue toward more useful recommendations later in Today, Plan, and Review.

Common gotchas and reassurance

• You do not need to sound clear, insightful, or organized. Messy answers are still useful.
• Voice replies are optional. If speaking feels easier, use them. If not, type.
• You do not need to tell your whole life story. Give Brik enough context to understand the shape of your week.
• If you already started onboarding once, Brik resumes history instead of making you restart from zero.
