Getting Started with Ciela AI: Your First Week as an AI Agency Owner

Day 2: Pick a Niche and Build Your First Demo

With a niche settled, build your first demo. Point Ciela at a real prospect's website, ideally someone you already have some connection to or a warm reason to reach, and in a few minutes you get back a live, personalized AI agent: a voice or chat receptionist, missed-call text-back, or website chat, already speaking to that business's own details. If you are unsure which angle fits your niche, the included niche demo playbooks have demo angles and offer ideas organized by vertical.

Day 3: Line Up Your Outreach

Ciela does not send anything for you, so Day 3 is about deciding how the demo link actually reaches a prospect. If you already run outbound, cold email, LinkedIn, cold calling, that is your channel. If you do not yet, this is the day to pick one: a simple cold email sequence and a short list of prospects in your niche is enough to start. The niche playbooks include outreach hooks you can use as a starting point for the message itself.

Day 4 to 5: Send the Demo

Send the demo link to your list through whatever channel you chose. The message that tends to work best is short and concrete: "I built this for your business, take a look," with the link, rather than a long pitch. Because the demo already reflects the prospect's own business, it does more convincing than the message around it. Track replies and follow up personally, this part is on you, not automated.

Day 7: Plan Delivery

If you closed a client this week, or when you do, delivery leans on the included n8n workflow templates, 200+ of them across 70+ niches, covering receptionist, missed-call, and chat-booking builds. Pick the template closest to what you sold, import it into your own n8n instance, and start adapting it to the client's tools. This is real build work, the templates give you a starting point, not a finished deploy.
