Now that your clone is up and running, it’s time to dive into the general settings to ensure everything supports your goals. These settings will help you manage notifications, usage, access and more, allowing you to maintain control over how your clone operates and
interacts with users.
Step 1: Notifications
Setting up notifications is crucial. Being alerted when people interact with your clone is especially important in the early stages. Notifications keep you informed about how your clone is performing and, more importantly, when it encounters questions it can’t answer. This allows you to step in, edit the response, and prepare the clone for similar queries in the future.
For now, I’ve opted to receive notifications immediately when my clone can’t answer a question. This way, I can quickly address any knowledge gaps and ensure continuous improvement. You can also set up a clone activity report, summarizing user interactions, questions, and key metrics. I recommend starting with daily reports while refining your clone and switching to weekly reports once you’re comfortable with its performance and as traffic increases.
The clone activity report includes valuable information such as:
- Number of users: How many unique users engaged with your clone.
- Messages exchanged: The volume of conversations through your clone.
- Unanswered questions: The number of questions your clone couldn’t answer, helping identify areas for improvement.
- Money earned: A summary of any revenue generated if monetization is enabled.
- Alerts triggered: Notifications about specific events or activities within your clone’s interactions.
You also have the option to receive an email each time a new user engages with your clone. This can be motivating in the early stages, as you see your efforts paying off with each new interaction. However, as traffic grows, you might want to turn this off to avoid being overwhelmed.
Step 2: Usage Settings
Next, let’s review the usage settings. This section provides an overview of the resources your clone consumes, such as:
Messages sent: The total number of messages sent by your clone.
Call minutes and video minutes: The time spent on voice and video interactions.
Training words: The number of words your clone has been trained on.
Depending on the platform and package, there may be limits on these resources. I use the Prodigy package on Delphi.ai, which offers unlimited training words. However,
this level of access may not be necessary if you’re just starting out. Choose a package that fits your current needs and budget, with the flexibility to upgrade as your clone grows.
Step 3: Access Control
Managing who has access to your clone is another crucial aspect of general settings. You can grant access to assistants or team members who help manage and refine your clone. The platform also allows for ownership transfer, a significant feature. Unlike some major tech platforms, Delphi.ai lets you maintain full ownership of your data. This means you can easily transfer ownership if you decide to move your clone to a different platform or sell access.
For example, if you were to sell your clone for a substantial amount, such as $50 million to a company like Microsoft, you could transfer all rights and access to the new owner with just a few clicks. This flexibility ensures your clone remains your asset, fully under your control.
Step 4: Billing and Monetization
The billing section details your current plan and associated costs. Regularly review this section to ensure you’re on the right plan for your needs. Additionally, if you’re interested in monetizing your clone, the platform may offer referral programs or other options. While we won’t delve into the specifics of monetization here, it’s worth exploring if you want to generate revenue from your clone.
Step 5: Feedback and Support
Finally, the settings include options for providing feedback and accessing support. If you encounter issues or have suggestions for improving the platform, this is where you can communicate directly with the service provider. Staying in touch with the support team is valuable, especially as you learn the ropes and refine your clone.
Conclusion
Configuring the general settings is a vital step in ensuring your clone operates smoothly and meets your expectations. By setting up notifications, monitoring usage, managing access, and keeping an eye on billing, you maintain control over your clone’s performance and make necessary adjustments. These settings are the backbone of your clone’s functionality, helping you stay informed and in charge as your digital presence grows.
