The Quick Setup Wizard

What each step of the Aimogen Pro Quick Setup Wizard does, when it runs, how to skip or re-run it, and which settings it actually writes.

The Quick Setup Wizard walks a new install through the decisions that matter, writes them into the normal settings options, and hands you a working configuration. Nothing it does is exclusive to the wizard — you can set the same values later from Settings.

When it runs#

On the first admin page load after activation, an administrator with the access_aiomatic_menu capability is redirected into the wizard. The plugin tracks the state in the aiomatic_setup_wizard_ran option:

The wizard is skipped entirely on network admin screens, during multi-plugin activation, and on demo servers. It is also marked as already-run if an OpenAI key is already present in settings, so upgrading an existing site does not drop you into a wizard.

Skipping and re-running#

To skip: use the Skip control in the wizard, or append &skip_config=1 to any admin URL.

To run it again later, open Aimogen Pro › Settings › Tutorial and use the setup link, or revoke and re-activate the licence (revoking resets the flag). The wizard writes to the same options as the settings screens, so re-running it will overwrite the choices it covers.

The steps#

Steps are added or removed based on your Workspace selection: if you turn a feature area off, its wizard step disappears.

1. Welcome#

Orientation only. Links to the two tutorial playlists and the basic tutorial video. Nothing is saved.

2. Workspace#

Choose which feature areas you want visible. This writes aiomatic_default_workspace and drives both the admin menu and the remaining wizard steps. A site that only needs a chatbot can switch everything else off here and get a much smaller admin.

See Workspace: tailoring the menu.

3. Activation#

Enter the purchase code if you have not already. Same behaviour as Activation and licensing.

4. API Keys#

The important step. Add at least one provider key. The wizard offers the same fields as Settings › API Keys, with a Test API key button next to each so you get immediate confirmation rather than a failure hours later during a scheduled run.

See AI providers for what each key unlocks.

5. Content#

Defaults for the content creators: which model writes articles, the default post type and status, and whether images are generated. Writes into aiomatic_Main_Settings and the bulk-post defaults.

There is also a generate a first draft post action here: enter a keyword and the wizard produces one draft so you can confirm the whole pipeline works before building rules.

6. Editor#

Defaults for the AI Content Editor: the model used for editing, and whether automatic editing is on.

7. Agents#

Whether AI Agents are enabled and which model they use.

8. Chatbot#

Bot name, description, initial message and model. This is the fastest way to get a usable chatbot; Chatbot quick start covers the same ground in more detail.

9. Forms#

Whether AI Forms are enabled and their defaults.

10. Playground#

Introduces the AI Playground so you have somewhere to test prompts.

11. More#

Optional extras: the Content Wizard, comment replier, taxonomy descriptions and similar. See More AI tools.

12. Ready#

A summary with links into the areas you enabled. Completing this step sets aiomatic_setup_wizard_ran to 3.

What the wizard does not do#

• It does not create rules, chatbots, agents or workflows for you beyond the optional first draft post.
• It does not enable scheduled posting. Rules stay inactive until you enable them.
• It does not send any data anywhere except the provider you configure and the licence verification service.
