How to set up Tenji AI: a one-session plan

Written by

in

Short answer: set up Tenji AI in one sitting by defining a single recurring task, connecting only what that task needs, and running it once end to end before touching any other setting. Tenji AI is a CRM and delivery toolkit packaged for agencies selling AI services. Everything beyond that first task can wait a week.

Before you open the account

Write two sentences. The task, and the output. For example: “produce one clip from each recording” or “prepare one report for the client each Friday”. If you cannot write them, the setup will sprawl, because every setting will look equally relevant.

Also decide who owns the output. A tool with no owner becomes a tool with no review, and in this category that is how bad output reaches customers.

Step 1: account and plan

Create the account with a business address, not a personal one, so access survives staff changes. Choose the smallest paid tier that allows a real test if the free tier caps export. Do not enter an annual commitment on day one.

Step 2: the minimum configuration

Complete onboarding, then stop. Turn off anything that offers to configure advanced behaviour automatically. Configure only the fields your two sentences require. A minimal setup is easier to debug and much easier to hand over.

Step 3: one real run

Use real material, not a sample. Run the task from start to finish and keep the output even if it is poor. Then note every correction you would make, in order. That list is your setup document, and it is worth more than the vendor’s help centre because it is specific to you.

It is sold through a marketplace checkout, so confirm what you get and how support works before paying. Check this during the first run, not after you have built a routine on top of it.

Step 4: connect only what is needed

Add integrations one at a time and test after each. Connecting three systems at once means you cannot tell which one broke when something fails. For running leads, delivery and reporting for a small AI agency in one place, one integration is usually enough to start.

Step 5: write the handover note

Half a page. What the task is, what good output looks like, what to check, who reviews, and what to do when it fails. If a second person cannot run the task from that note, the setup is not finished.

Step 6: schedule the review

Two dates. One week out to check whether the task got faster. One month out to decide renew, downgrade or stop. Put the renewal amount next to the second date so the decision is explicit.

FAQ

How long does setup take?

An afternoon for one task. Longer setups usually mean the task was never defined.

Do I need to migrate existing data?

Not for a first test. Migrate after the task is stable, and only the material that task needs.

What if the integration does not work?

Run the task manually for a week and test the integration separately. Mixing both makes the failure impossible to isolate.

What this looks like in practice

Take Tenji AI as a single step rather than a platform. The step is running leads, delivery and reporting for a small AI agency in one place, and the measure of success is whether that step now takes less time than it did last month, including the corrections you make afterwards. Teams that write that number down once a month get more from the subscription than teams that judge it by feel.

It also helps to separate the tool from the process around it. Tenji AI is a CRM and delivery toolkit packaged for agencies selling AI services. The process is yours: the input you feed it, the review you apply, and the decision about what happens to the output. When results disappoint, the process is usually the place to look first, because it is cheaper to change than a vendor.

Finally, decide in advance what would make you cancel. A date, a number, a quality threshold. Without a pre-committed exit condition, subscriptions in this category tend to survive on optimism long after the work they were meant to remove has moved somewhere else.
