OSS Marketer Studio — User Guide
Every feature of the studio, step by step · Updated September 2026
- On first launch the Setup Wizard opens. Step 1 picks your interface language — choose your native language first; everything else follows.
- Step 2 picks your currency, step 3 your look (dark/light + color palette). Step 4 sets up your brand: name, X handle and a quick topic — the Writer drafts your first tweet on the spot and you can post it to X right from the studio (every post carries the ⚡ Powered by OSS Marketer badge). Step 5 adds wellness goals and your first check-in. Step 6 introduces the OSS Assistant and gives you a first task to ask it — try it live, right from the wizard. You can re-run it anytime from Settings → Setup Wizard.
- Use the globe button in the top bar to switch language instantly at any time — no need to visit Settings.
- Set your theme (dark/light) and color palette under Settings → Appearance.
Note: The manual you are reading is also downloadable as a PDF from the Download button at the top of the Help page.

Note: Email Report requires the Gmail connector — connect it on the Connectors page.
- Optionally Scan an affiliate link (or pick a promotion and press Send to Scan) so the writer sells the real product.

Note: The FTC toggle is optional per post — on for posts with affiliate links or selling, off for plain content. It applies to the Post to all sites panel only — generated article bodies never contain the disclosure.

Note: Sign out ends your session and returns you to the login screen.
- Open the assistant from the floating button (bottom right). Ask any marketing question — strategy, angles, platform tactics, metrics, FTC rules.
- It knows your studio context: brand, voice, language, current page, recent packs and tracked-link clicks.
- It can stage ideas and angles (→ Create Post), analyze your tracked-link performance, and suggest content optimizations.
- If you ask for something it can’t do, it says so, points you to the matching User Guide section, and offers the closest thing it CAN do.
- The conversation is remembered within the session (last 50 messages, last 12 sent to the AI).
Note: The assistant never auto-posts, never publishes, and never invents abilities — the capability list above is enforced in its instructions.
