Home

Home is the first tab of every Product. In the Demo it shows your demo. Until ARCY has seen a visit it shows ARCY reading your site and the Live preview of it; from the first visit in either real environment it leads with the Insights ARCY found and puts the last seven days under them.

Before you start

• ARCY reads a site only when one of your verified Domains covers it, or, once per Product, when it is your own work email's domain. That read stops at 50 pages (how it treats robots.txt).
• Until the Workspace has a plan, its Token works only inside the Live preview.

Setting it up

ARCY reads your site first and fills your theme, Product icon, policy links, languages, Persona and starter questions from it. Each setting it filled shows From your site on its own page until you choose Keep or change it.

Live preview draws your homepage with ARCY on it, in your theme, answering from what it has read so far. It runs on a copy of your page, so sign in, forms and menus may not work there. A Workspace with no plan gets 20 answers in the preview.

Put it on your site under the preview opens Choose a plan to get started: every plan starts with a 14-day free trial, and the card goes in at checkout (Billing). Then add the code from Installation. Once the preview has run, ARCY has seen a visit and Production has a visit on a verified Domain, Home offers Create your first Specialist above the Insights until one exists (Specialists).

The Demo

A new Workspace's first Product gets a third environment, Demo, first in the switcher. ARCY builds it at the end of sign-up from your three answers there and from your own site: your Product's name, logo, pages and plan names, with sample visitors, Insights, Specialists and Flows. Every number in it is sample data, and the line under Your demo says what it was built from.

Home in the Demo shows three Insights to read, then What the Demo call unlocks with Book a demo, then the Live preview of your real site, which runs on Development. Every page that reads is open in the Demo. Persona, Customization, Localization, Legal, Alerts and General are open too; Persona and the starter questions you set from the Demo are Development's, so they stay after it.

The Demo call is a short call with an ARCY founder. Until a founder marks it done, Development and Production read Book a demo to unlock in the switcher, and Installation, API Keys, Updates, Identity verification, Knowledge, Flows, Attributes, Events, Endpoints, Integrations, new Specialists, Domains, ARCY MCP, Limits and checkout show Opens after your Demo call. No Token or Secret is shown before the call. Marking the call unlocks all of them at once, so you can put ARCY on your site during it.

The Demo is deleted when the Product records its first Production session. An admin can delete it sooner on General.

Insights

An Insight is one thing ARCY found that is worth your time: a place in your Product where people stop, or a group of people who behave differently from everyone else. Each card carries the sentence, the number a tool returned, a strength signal and one next step. No model typed the number, and no Insight belongs to one Specialist. A finding ARCY cannot act on for you is not listed at all.

The strength signal is counted from your own rows: how many people the group holds, and how far its rate sits from everyone else's. No model writes it. The full reading needs both, so an Insight about a place, which has no rest to compare against, never reaches it. Its tooltip names both numbers, and the number on the card opens the rows it was read from.

Look now reads everything at once for the AI credits its hover shows and writes at most five new Insights; a look that writes nothing is free, and the next one waits 24 hours. ARCY looks once an environment has 20 tracked people in the last 30 days.

Accept builds the Experiment or the Flow the Insight asks for as a draft and opens it. An Insight about people asks which Specialist to draft under first. Nothing reaches a visitor until you publish that draft yourself. Undo stands in the message for ten seconds and removes the draft again; after that, delete it on its own page.

Alternatives holds the rest: ARCY's own control for this Insight and Copy problem statement, which copies it as text.

Cards read Open, then Improving when the number fell, and Quiet when two nightly counts in a row found nothing worth showing. A quiet Insight is kept and dated behind Show quiet insights; one notable night brings it back, and until it does it cannot be accepted.

The Insight's own page, which you can paste into a ticket, holds what the card could not: the figure, the rule or the place behind it, three sessions that show it, the people behind it and the next step. Give to a Specialist asks which Specialist, then drafts one Experiment that acts on exactly these people under it (Specialists).

Where nobody can be named the page says so in a line. A visitor who refused cookies carries no id at all (Legal), so an Insight about visitors reports how many visits it read instead of a list, and no Experiment can act on them.

What it changes

• Last 7 days sits under the Insights: Visitors, Page loads and Page loads with struggle, counted from every browser that loaded a page, whatever it answered the banner.
• An Insight is counted again every night: the number, the people behind it and one point on its trend. Nothing is ever deleted.
• Every number is for the environment in the address: Demo, Development or Production. An Insight belongs to the environment whose look found it.

When it goes wrong

Your demo could not be built. The ARCY founders are told. Book a demo and one of them shows you ARCY on the call.

No site to preview. ARCY could not read your work email's domain. Verify your site's Domain on Domains, or add a Source on Knowledge.

You've used all 20 free preview answers. Choose a plan with Put it on your site to keep going.

Nothing worth your time this week. ARCY looked and found nothing that clears its bar. It says how many people it read over how many days; press Look now to look again.

Not enough to look at yet. Finish the install, or wait until the environment has enough tracked people (Installation).
