Quickstart

This gets you from an empty dashboard to your first drafted email. Set aside about half an hour, most of which is signing up for free API keys.

#1. Sign in

Sign in at app.larvabot.com, or create your account: the 14-day free trial starts straight away, no card required. Your account

#2. Add an AI key and a search key

These two are all Larvabot needs to find and draft. Both are free and neither needs a card.

#3. Create your first project

Click + next to Projects in the sidebar (or Add your first project). Enter your domain, your name (it signs your emails) and the address you'll send from, then click Create project.

Larvabot reads your site and drafts a plan. It takes about 20 seconds, which is roughly how long a larva needs to chew through a homepage. Adding a project

#4. Review the profile and approve

You land on the Analysis tab with a banner saying nothing runs until you review it. Read it top to bottom. The fields that matter most:

• Pitch and What you can offer: every draft is built from these
• Audience and Segments: who you're trying to reach
• Cautions: anything the AI should never claim
• Email campaigns plan: the searches that will find your leads

Fix anything that's off, click Save analysis, then Approve & start. Reviewing the site analysis

#5. Get your first drafts

You don't have to wait for the hourly schedule. On the project's Overview, click Find more leads. Larvabot runs a search, reads the pages it finds, looks for a contact and writes the drafts; the Overview shows what it's working on.

Want it faster? On the Emails tab, In progress has Research now and Draft now. Drafts land under Ready to send, and the Overview's to-do list tells you when they're there.

#6. Connect email, then send

To actually send, Larvabot needs an SMTP account for sending and, ideally, an IMAP inbox so it notices replies:

• Brevo for sending (free, 300 emails a day)
• Gmail with an app password for reading replies

Then set up your project's sender on the Setup tab and make sure the Email setup check is green. Sending setup and deliverability

Now schedule a draft. It moves to Scheduled with the exact time it goes out, in your next send window (weekdays by default). To skip this step for future drafts, turn on autosend.

#7. Install the tracking snippet (optional, but do it)

Copy the one-line script from the project's Setup tab into your site's <head>. From then on, the Reports tab shows which emails, threads and directories brought visitors. The tracking snippet

#You're done. Now what?
